Phildirt’s Axial SCX10ii Deadbolt

Will run it this weekend, can’t wait. On paper I lost a bunch of un-usable travel and gained lower cg. I guess this is “semi droop” sort of. I know a lot of you all have done it, will be neat to test since I’ve logged miles at stock height. These are Axial shocks with Enduro springs, they are pretty soft.

I don’t think I can get the body lower without unwanted surgery.

So I ordered a few parts for this rig:

JP1 Body
BFG Krawlers
Brass lower shock mounts because I stripped one of the plastic ones

I ordered new shocks for the Enduro so I may swap the pen springs over to that body, may not we'll see. The Krawlers are 2.2's and will be mounted on G-Made G2 beadlocks.
 
This thing looks ready for a tractor pull. Told kiddo I ordered a Ford and a Jeep, to pick one...she went Jeep, was kinda hoping she’d want the Ford/truggy cage for this rig...nope. So I will keep this body for an alternate. I think red really suits it, I love how it turned out with the trimming. The odd headlights are a mishmash of parts because I wanted them to be bolted to the shell...not functional but don’t care. Will probably put a shorty LED bar on the grill once the JP1 body is mounted up.

So I decided I’m committed to running a 2.2 setup on this rig. Grabbed these BFG Krawlers and mounted them on G-made bead locks, they are not metal but the goal of this rig is lightweight. I swapped over the Enduro shocks and added aluminum lower mounts. The shocks feel much smoother than the Axial rtr version. I am running the Axial springs as they are a bit firmer and I think it helps a bit with body roll, this rig does see heavy throttle/turning. Here is a look at a size comparison between the Proline 1.9 Boggers and Axial 2.2 Krawler. The Krawler is a tad narrower and a little taller. Plan is to use them for trailing/mild crawling and the Boggers for...bogging :)

Nice looking combo, wheels are very deep. Didn’t notice until I was mounting them that they are 6 lug :(

I’ll post some pics of them on the rig once iCloud decides it’s done stealing my photos from my phone and transferring to my iPad.

I am totally on the fence with the body situation. I think I am going to try to talk my daughter into letting me mount the Ford/truggy cage on this chassis. I really really want to put the JP1 on my Enduro. And I think it will be cool to have a Deadbolt on this thing for crawling and a Ford truggy for mudding. It’s just logical lol. Then the Enduro can get more OD, it’s super heavy down low, the light body would compliment that.

I like the look with the BFG Krawlers. They look great with them wheels!

The 1.9 BFG Krawlers have been on my want list for awhile now. I really need to pick a set of them up. They are good looking tires!

I must have missed the color change to red. I'll have to go back and see when I missed it!

The more I look at this skull I think I need to paint a gold tooth or maybe a grill...
