I just mounted mine using the stock body hinge mechanism on rear and magnets to hold the front down. Easy access and no protruding body mounts. All electronics were left in the stock position.

Thanks so much for posting this video. I picked up an SCX24 and this same AMT Hilux body. Your tips will save me a lot of head scratching! :)

You inspired me to grab my first rc, scx24, and threw this body on it. Been having a blast working on this thing. I'll have to find a way to share a picture of it when its done. Thanks for the videos.

Also do you know if the body mount positions are different on the c10 because I’m planning on getting one of these and doing something similar but i would rather have the c10 body

@2fmrc

Yeah the c10 mounting positions will be slightly different than what I started with because it was a deadbolt. Should be fairly simple to make the hard body work on the c10 also though. May have to mess with the wheelbase a bit but you can make about any of them work

What secret do you have putting those wagon wheels together

@2fmrc

3 жыл бұрын

Pedar01 you sort of get better the more you do them. Never easy really lol. Lately I’ve been getting the tire set on the rim,then using a small clamp on two sides of the wheel to sort of clamp down on the tire. That way it’s all set and won’t move. Then run a screw through that and line up the hex. Get a couple screws lined up and start them a good bit. Pull the clamps and make sure the tire stayed in place good. Then slowly run the other screws in. Been working pretty well. The rok lox are by far the worst tire to mount on them! The others aren’t too bad.

Does it still crawl well with the heavy body? How about compared to stock?

@2fmrc

3 жыл бұрын

It still crawls really well. It’s not as good as some of my other modded out rigs but it also don’t look like them. With the scale look it shouldn’t perform as well as my 4ws rig for example. It does do amazing though. Way better than a stock rig but it has a ton of mods and is HEAVY! It has a bunch of brass,all aluminum hot racing stuff including links,skid,steering links,front axle housing etc. Plus wheel weights etc so it holds it down pretty well. If you put this body on a straight stock truck it probably would hinder its performance a decent amount. With some mods it’s great though.
