Scx24, Anyone do a build with c10 rear links and deadbolt front links?

[Willy0942]

I just have these laying around from last build and thought wonder if the guys ever built one like this. I will probably make this my next build,

And no, I have thought about it though. I have a slew of SCX24 links and plastic driveshafts.

After looking at it and mocking up some axels, not scx24 axels. Just to look at how small the wheelbase will be somewhat. And I am digging it.
I measured it and it will be around 126-128mm. Give or take.

Wow, those tires will be pretty close to each other. This could be a pretty interesting build.

Kinda reminds me of the wheelbase of the FMS FCX24 Power Wagon.

Yes, and I had to extend the FCX24 PW to make it crawl better. Too short and the can't handle an incline because it rolls head over heels, too long and it highsides. it's a challenge when you start trying different set ups.

That's what Pat Ranch was talking about a long time ago about making my diorama course challenging. The fun of crawling is to make the truck do things it couldn't before you start messing with stuff. I took that as basically build the couse however I want, then make the truck work on it.

That’s why my FCX PW got a stretch and some weight. It was a turtle otherwise (knew it was not drivers skill )
