Been reading a good bit of build threads on here that have inspired me to put together my first rig using parts I've accumulated over time. I really like the scale builds and watching the trail rigs battle the elements in all the videos!

Here's a breakdown of what I have put together so far:
SCX10 chassis.
AX10 axles, 1:2.92 I believe.
Tamiya 3 speed
2.2 wheels, idk whats.
Rock lizard tires. <- I think their ugly but maybe they perform well?
Proline Chevy C10 body. <-I want to do some custom work here, maybe a truggy? maybe later....

Got everything installed and wired for a test run to see how she drives. I didn't think I would like the all wheel steering but I must say it is too cool!

Flexing out on the Polaris!

I put the ESC up front cause I thought it would be cool to see the fan through the grill. 8)

A short video.
I thought my gearing was way to low. 1st doughnut is 1st gear, next is second gear, didn't bother running third. Last night I changed my gearing so we'll see how that goes. I have to work on my shifting servo a little, the 3 speed shifting lever is a little finicky.

edit: Pardon my noob-ness, that was my first ever video upload and I had it set to private.
