Building a SC10 from spare and new parts

[mAdMan]

I haven’t had to buy anything yet. Let’s see how far I can get.











No plans for electronics yet. I’m just winging it. I’ll get in another hour tomorrow. Always takes me the longest to find parts in my inventory. I will have to order a body. And maybe find some vented slipper clutch discs. I think I’ll cut some spare hinge pins down to length for the rear outers. I have quite a few inners.

So it looks like I just need slipper hubs and a body. I have the body mounts and wheels/tires. I also have a full hex conversion. I’ll have to decide on wheels and tires and go from there.


I’m digging the blue


Brand new gear diff trans, it was built a while ago for something. I guess it was this.






You can also make hinge pins from bulk 7/64” hardened rod or even long shank 7/64” drill bits and a rotary cut off wheel.

I prefer a 1/4” long 2/56 SHCS and a washer to the tiny 1/8” long 2-56 BHCS that always seems to back out. This never does.




Parts I had to open.

Found a battery strap pretty local can’t freaking believe it.

Slippers arrived, I bought them from a member - but through eBay. Didn’t know until it arrived with his name on it. I sent him a text









I used T4/GT2 front body posts for the front SC10 body mounts. GT front body posts for the rear sc10 mount. I like how they have stoppers built in and are not adjustable. I checked with my other stock SC10 and the body fits with plenty of room.



Finished my inventory. Found these



I just need a body. And I’ll make some mud flaps :p

After a little cleanup, I can tell this chassis used to have a rpm chassis brace and front bumper.

I bought the chassis with turnbuckles, front tower, front arms and top plate. And the wrong chassis plate! It came with a T4/B4 chassis plate and wouldn’t accept my gear diff so I had to open one of those.

I can’t remember what member I bought it from in 2020. But it’s finally almost alive.
