Although I have been enjoying my original AX10 for many years, I am now, At my sons urging, entering the scale world. I am slowly converting the old AX 10 to a more scale build as well but when I found the RC4WD Gelande with Cruiser body, I had to build one.
Here is my inspiration:
Here is the chassis
Decided I wanted more travel. Trying some Vaterra shocks. They are the stock ones from the rear of the Twin Hammers. I will be using them front and rear.
Factory shocks...not much flex.
With the new shocks and about 5mm longer control arms.
Body shot....
One of the best parts of my 1:1 Cruiser is folding the windshield down. Thought I would try and see if I can modify this body to fold as well.
Folded down.......Next is to cut the frame around the windshield and fix it to the folded part. Should make the whole thing less flexible.
Then I'll cut the doors off.......
Comments are welcome. Please be gentle, I'm new..
More to come
