Been collecting parts, graphite - done, hubs/carriers - done, body mounts - done...just need the front axles/pin/hex (from the Slash) and rear hex adapters (the HPI ones are too big, gonna use the TC ones).

I did some test fitting of parts, the Slash front carriers/hubs had to be fiddled with to fit and work smoothly, but the front body mount was a direct fit. The rear body mount needed holes drilled in the shock tower, and I did a quick test fit on the body...front lines up perfect, rear is just under an inch short (body mount wise). I may play around with that this coming long weekend.

Pics to follow...in a couple days!!

Yay!

in a couple days!!

Boo

Looking forward to seeing this one done. With the Strike being delayed you'll easily be the first at your track with a Losi SC truck.

well, more than a couple days...I appologize...but well worth the wait....I have the Proline Baja getting ready to sit on top of this bad boy!!













And size comparisons to a Slash...I need to move the rear mount back about 1/2 inch to be perfectly aligned.

Wish that was true...I race with the designer of the Strike, Keith Whistler. He and a couple of the factory drivers are parading their trucks around at every race...

Joey, good job on this. It came together well.

I like your chassis on your SC truck as compared to "butter dish" version on the Losi Strike.

Put electronics in it (Mamba 4600 for motor) and trimmed up my Baja body (roughly) to see how it sits....wow.

The mamba was a bit too much for the first diff, it gave up in 2 passes up/down the street (honest, I didnt hear it slipping!) The second diff is holding together just fine, and man, this thing has top end for days...geared 22/86 @ 2.61 truck tranny.

Here is a cell phone shot...

I can't wait to see it finished!

Me neither...and it's been years, man! (Sorry for the thread revive, but this is the kind of project that gets my creative juices flowing!)

I kept the chassis, but the rest went back to a standard LXT (sorry )
