Axial SCX10-based 2.2 Crawler

[wwaveform]

Long story short, Tower Hobbies had the Integy cage on sale so I bought it. Threw together some spare SCX10 II parts I had laying around, and came up with this thing.

Has AR44 axles and links from an SCX10 II RBK
Axial 35T brushed motor out of my Bomber
Arrma brushed ESC
Spektrum S614 servo (was a warranty replacement for my Bomber but I got a Hitec for that while I was waiting for it)

Since I didn't have appropriate shocks or tires, I got a set of Pro-line 110mm scaler shocks and Duratrax Deep Woods. These are some of the tallest 1/10 tires I've ever seen!

Anyways I'm not really a "comp crawling" person, just threw this together with mostly stuff I had laying around from previous projects.

The SCX10 parts that found their way into this build were originally going to be an SCX-based Gelande D90

I dig it! 2.2 is my favorite. How's the turning radius? Are the tires hitting links?

With D/R maxed out it does hit the links, but I can just back that off a bit and we're good. Turning radius isn't the best honestly, but it could be worse. I think smaller tires would help

What about wider hexes?

I wish I had thought of that earlier lmao. I have some wide 12mm hubs but I'm missing the lugs for them, so I'll have to work on that

Let us know how you make out with this.

I finally got a set of extensions for my crawler. Looks amazing. I'm getting obsessed with this thing quickly

That looks great man!!!

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks the Deep Woods 2.2’s are tall.
I wonder if different foams would make a difference on how rounded off they look, I guess unless that’s the way they’re designed.

Nice job, it looks fun!

looks more like an xr or ax10?

Looks good whatever it is.

Looks good. How’s it holding together?

 

[MOguy]

If those are the stock one piece axles they perform great but they are not very strong. Be on the look out for deal on three piece (eventually you will probably need aluminum ends or some SSDs.
