Axial SCX 10 Build
So, picked up an SCX 10 kit about a week or so ago. Figured I would post the build on here with a few pics. As of right now the plan is to build a stock version of the kit with upgrades as needed for performance or when something breaks. Running gear will be bits and pieces I have laying around until I get a better idea of which way I want to go.
Here is the plan so far: Axial Dingo kit Spectrum receiver Losi SCT speed control and Servo (Just temporary on the servo) Reedy RTR brushed motor |

Well, got the drive-train together. Up next will be the front end assembly and the construction of the chassis. May be a few days before I get back to it, depends on how long it takes me to figure out the ball diff in the TLR XXX-SCT tuning kit.
Body is also being painted, but due to a poor masking job it will only be basic black. My only negative comments so far are that axial needs to put in a bit more QA time on their assembly instructions. Some of the parts are not in their noted bags, so it can take a bit of searching to find what you are looking for. |

I meant to get back to this thread much earlier, but was down for a while with a bad round of kidney stones, so I didn't get anything done.
Here is finished chassis. |

Basically a roller at this point.

And finally the aftermath of playing in the muddy runoff ditch that goes down the side of my property.
I am still using the Losi SCT ESC and the brushed motor that comes with cheap AE RTR's. They do great with this truck. Gearing with a 16 tooth pinion and stock spur. It is not as fast as I would like to see, but it is plenty of torque. Afraid to gear to much higher as it gets very hot. I have had to replace the RTR Losi servo, so went with one from Hobbypartz. |
Good job! I built my SCX-10 a few weeks ago and was a little frustrated with the mistakes Axial made with their parts and instructions. I used to do create assembly instructions for a living and if our department had given our customers quality like that, we'd have been fired. I made a list of some of the boo-boo's I discovered when building my SCX-10 and posted them at rccrawler dot com. |
Yeah, the instructions leave alot to be desired.
two things I would change - First, the kit comes with 30wt oil. too stiff to absorb bumps the way I would like with the current spring setup. I will probably will get around to changing that out in a few days. Working on my B4 right now mostly. -Second, The front bumper assembly is junk. The cross piece that it mounts in is way too flexible, and I just cannot see how this will stand up. A front bumper assembly from RC4WD is definitely in my near future. otherwise, this thing has been a blast. |
