2009 Axial SCX10 Rockcrawler

[SwampDawg]

i just picked one of these puppies up after work and started the build around 5PM tonight, just finished up the basic build (rolling chassis) at 12PM.
What a fun truck to build guys, must have which is true-to-scale with a steel frame. heres the link to the truck i speak of as i don't currently have pics of mine yet.

Hmmm... the chassis is what makes that truck. If you get that one, you should have gone with an AX10.

Cool either way though.

[SwampDawg]

just made this steering anti-shock this morning. turned out pretty good!
no body yet, prob not til mon-tues i gather as its still in customs...arrr!!

 

[SwampDawg]

Progress so far....

Parts came in a day ago but 2 parts-trees were missing (now on the way from RPP). Got the body halves together,cab back & windows on aswell as mounting the shell to the chassis.

this is a very time consuming body to assemble! lol

 

[SwampDawg]

starting the detailing process of the Yota today, so far this is the result of the tails. Had to search Google to get them right.

I'm stoked to see this finished but just found that the screws needed for this truck are 35.00 alone plus 12.oo S&H...OWIIEEEE! lol

 

[whipnet]

Nice precise work man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

pretty sweet hilux body, i was thinking about getting one for my SCX-10....

 

[SwampDawg]

thanks, a few things have changed...

and eventually id like to get the fender flares for this beast.
