Got some new gear

[theant]

Upgrading these Scx10 trucks is very addictive! I have on order a new bumper and a RRP trans gear to match up with the idler gear I also have hanging on the wall. I also just finished a new body and bought some new tow shackles that will go on the bumper. Plus last week I picked up some Hobby Gear scale accessories and a Hitec 5645 servo a couple weeks before that. When I first bought the truck I got a set of MIP axles and the aluminum steering/suspension links.

Looking good.

Looks great man. Your front right tire looks a little low, I'd air it up a little, with today's fuel prices, every little bit helps.

Great job man that SD lid looks perfect on there.

Looks great, I really dig the honcho platform. Been toying with a scaler / semi scaler build myself lately.

Just installed the new bumper, tow shackles and put some RRP gears in the trans

Agreed, that bumper looks awesome!

I really like the RC4WD bumpers.

The list goes on and on with these trucks.

Now I want to get a CC link programming card and then an RC4WD rear bumper and the side guards.

Got some Losi Gold 2.75" 1.4 rate springs for my black maxx 100 mm shocks. I also put in some 17.5 weight oil.

Man these springs are killer!!!

Thanks! Now time to look at some wheels and tires for the rig....

After checking out you pics I now know what bumper I will be ordering for my bronco. I ripped my Summit bumper off today pulling my bro's wraith up a ledge on the trail today. LOL

You might try some of the Micky Thompson wheels and some Baja Claws for shoes. RC4WD also has rubber mirrors for the Super Duty Tamiya hard body that should work, too.

Ya I was actually looking at getting a set of the 1.9 Mickey Thompson Baja claws 4.75". They do look quite a bit taller than the stock Ripsaws but I think I could get away with using them by doing a small amount if trimming on the body. They would be about a 1/2" taller than stock. I might also look into those rubber mirrors. That's a good idea. Axial makes scale plastic mirrors, wiper blades etc but I would think those could snap off pretty easily. This is the combo I'm thinking of...axial wheels just to save on cost for now

Personally, I'd throw a set of G8 TSL's on there if it were mine. They will be my next tire for sure.

I agree, I had a set of 1.9 TSL's and they were great! Thats what I want to run on the wraith later on.

Looks great, not to rain on your parade but I hated that bumper from RC4WD,, The sheet plating where your lights or winch bolt down to is weaksauce, and the 3 holes punched in the skid plate on it get caught up like mad.. Looks great but the bumper es no bueno..
