R/C scx10 chassis kit and toyota scale body

[JoeNitro]

i got the scx10 trail chassie for christmas and the handbrother steering kit.

i took a bunch of pics of the build of the chassie. also just picked up the origional tamiya scale toyota body.

the kit, and my ax10 crawler

steering kit, which converts it to panhard and 3 link.

what i started with



building the new chassie


front axle bracket to conver for 3 link and parhard

rear end mocked up

completer truck on new chassie




painting and assembling the tamiya toyota body













not pics of it on the truck yet still gotta mount and figure out body posts.

[Magilla]

if you can not use a big hammer to assemble it im not interested. money on jeep> toys

[Danksters]

I love that body style. I need to find a 1st gen P/U. Tamiya makes some bad ass models.

[JoeNitro]

i already spent money on the jeep had to buy a new waterpump and belt. gonna install tmr.... this was christmas stuff

[kracker]

you did all that in one day???

[CSaddict]

Other than your painted lines making you out to have Parkinson's, nice work. Im not sure I'd take a comp style crawler down to make a scaler but to each his own. RCM is going to be starting the rock/obstacle course soon.

[JoeNitro]

haha yea the line are a lil massed up... and the chassie actually crawls amazing. you would be surprised. i was at RCM yesterday thats where i got the body

[SillyBoys]

you did all that in one day???

how much did that all cost if you dont mind me asking?

[JoeNitro]

chassie/steering kit were gifts but together cost $95. the body is a tamiya limited re-production kit from the 1970's it was $100 for all the parts needed to build it but was baught with christmas moneys....
