.AJ. Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Not too bad, it seems a little top heavy, as it wants to flip on the more extreme climbs and descents, I’m going to drop the suspension I touch and fit SCX10ii knuckles and weights, luckily they are a straight fit and I’ll chuck a few weights in the fuel cell at the same time. The tyres worked well, they definitely need venting and better foams tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesp2812 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Definitely looks a nice truck and with a few upgrades like you said should be super. At least its interchangeable with the scx10ii so that's a bonus. Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yea, looks like the knuckles, front shock hoops and and link mounts are a direct copy, it’s been noticed that the lockers and gears could also be compatible, a guy on the BOM facebook group is going to check and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 There’s already a load of Gmade hop ups already out, I’m only really interested in steel lockers, steel centre shafts and a alloy motor mount at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimplops Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) How do those weights mount, are they bolted to the knuckles? Just found them, pre drilled for the weights? Edited September 5, 2018 by Jimplops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yep they bolt on, these are the knuckles for anyone else who is interested http://ssd-rc.com/pro-aluminum-knuckles-for-scx10-ii-(black).html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ive painted the mirrors and door handles black, I’m not too sure how well they with hold up, I tried everything to remove the chrome, but gave up in the end, so I scuffed up the chrome and used acid etch primer, with a top coat of Halfords satin black on top.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
