Kev's Bench: 32 Ford And Old School Monster Truck Update - Radio control Car Action (blog)
Let’s take a quick look at my 32 Ford pickup inspired SCX10 and old school monster truck. 32 Ford Pickup. After some recent trail riding with some of my other rigs I decided to shift gears and get back on my 32 Ford pickup inspired build. I had put some of the truck together so that I could use the axles, chassis and suspension to figure out what size I needed to make the body. With the body in motion I decided to pull what I built apart so I could install the final components and add a few more while I was at it. The axles are now fitted with Axial’s aluminum hubs, hub carriers and rear lockouts along with Axial heavy... The transmission in my SCX10 has been outfitted with Axial’s heavy duty gear set and aluminum motor plate. The input shaft is running very close to the back of the body so I’m going to grind away at the shaft slightly to give me more room and I’ll be designing a compact gear cover and making it on my Zeus 3D printer. The battery will be mounted up front but as low as possible then I’m going to work on a low CG speed control mount for my Novak M2 Dig and figuring out how to install my Traxxas waterproof receiver box.
