    Wrangler Kit Build

    Thought I'd share my new SCX10 kit build. I stole a lot of electronic parts from my Cherokee honcho. Eventually I'll rebuild the Cherokee. Here it is completed and at the top of a pavement mountain. I decided to cut the hardtop and remove the rear portion as I think it looks quite a bit...

    Project: YellowJacket

    A co-worker introduced me to this hobby a few months back. I have absolutely no experience with crawlers and very little experience with RC vehicles in general. This will be a pretty basic kit build with some commonly used modifications, nothing fancy or truly original. Futaba 3PM-X Tekin...

    Advice on Y-Town BJV4 Build

    I want to go bodiless, and after much debate, I have settled on the Beetlejuice Chassis. It was either this one or the Mantis, and being new to crawling, I got scared off by the torsion design of the Mantis. Sounds like some people get frustrated with getting it dialed and give up on it. I love...

    K7ZPJ's Honcho Build

    This is my first SCX10 Trail Honcho Build and my first attempt at a build thread. I started this build to help pass the time while I was recovering from foot surgery. This added the challenge of doing most of the build while flat on my back with the foot in the air. It took a bit longer than...

    Questions about Scale

    So, I'm looking to get into crawling by building my first rig. My question is, how well would the geometry work on an externally scale M1025 HMMVW with a tube frame? I ask this because it would be all independent suspension, no solid axle. Would it be top heavy? Not enough articulation? Any...

    Harley's Axial Wraith Build - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra 4 KOH Style

    Here we go! I received mine yesterday and have been having a blast since. I ran it at one of our local scale spots. I ran it fully submerged for quite awhile. After about a half hour of running constantly in water the motor let go on me. Most likely this was due to the dirty dirty water we...

    Built used or new... What to buy?

    I am about to buy a decent crawler. I don't want to spend any more than 300 on the initial purchase. Upgrades down the road are acceptable. I know with big 1:1 4wheeling it is cheaper to buy a built rig than to build it yourself. Although you get a certain satisfaction when you build...
