Pulled the trigger

I need a truck for the top truck challenge so i started looking at scx's. I decided that since i already have wheely king axles, several 2.2 wheel and tire combo's along with just about everything else i need. I didn't need to buy a full scx kit just to throw away the shocks, body, wheels and tires etc.
SO, i picked up a new scx chassis and axial tranny from rpp.


Here are the plans so far.
SCX chassis
Axial Tranny
Wheely king axles with hardened ring and pinion gear sets. Rear has a hot racing lockout with BEEFY shafts
Sidewinder esc on 3S
stampede wheels with 2.2 mud slingers



I am still undecided on a motor, shocks and body.

I am gonna need some sort of steering mount as well and the hand bro's sweeeeeet setup is impossible to find. any other options?

edit. found it at tcs. should have looked in the obvious places first. lol


woot

LOL I knew you couldn't resist, this should be an interesting rig!

Why not keep the warrior.

Its gonna be sweet, i can promise you that. I was thinking about putting the warrior into the ax-10. I get pretty good wheelspeed and torque with it, but i am thinking about going a little off the deep end with the scaler. Nothing too hot but perhaps a velineon 3500. :whhooo:

I decided on a body as well.

haha, I really like the uber scaleness of the highlift and i think a 1.9 would be freakin sweet as well. Its just the $350-$400 price tag that kills me.

if ur really interested, we might be able to work somthing out for one of mine.

i really am. lets get to work. I can only offer my body as payment at this time as the new scx has tapped the current resources.



JK. pm, text or call me.

I got everything in to start the truck and i actually had a pretty lame night.

I sold the servo from my WK and since i decided to use the WK axles, i went ahead and disassembled the whole truck. Well i started lining things up and it looks like the axles just aren't going to work. I could shoehorn things in there but i really don't want to do that on my scaler. So i have a box full of wheely king parts instead of a full truck just in need of a servo. So right now i am looking at picking up a set of axial axles. I need to make custom length links to get the wheelbase right for 2.2's but i'm not sure what i want to use for that either.



ideas? opinions?
