SC-T3

[73cuda2]

If you have a T3 laying around and want a cool project try this. I saw a few people talking about it on another forum and jumped in on it and this is what we came up with.

The wheelbase is still a bit short in your body on shot. Instead on messing with the front suspension geometry, why not just find a second chassis and splice them together to get the extra 1.5 inches you need? it's not that hard, you just need to measure twice (or 5 or 6 times lol) and cut once. Get some thin carbon fiber and epoxy and make a longer chassis. I really think screwing with the suspension is just going to bog down the actual testing and setup work.

Just my 2 cents

I remember around the time of the first thunderdomes people narrowed their saloon bodies by removing a strip along the center.
Maybe a good idea for this body: split and overlap behind theside window.

Or just go for a bugs body

I agree with markt311, the wheelbase does look short. Don't forget that the wheelbase gets shorter as the suspension compresses. I found that stretching the stock RC10T wheelbase by 2.5" makes the wheels line up perfectly when the chassis is bottomed out. I haven't run it yet, screwed up drilling the new chassis plate, but there appears to be enough clearance for the wheels when the front suspension is fully extended.

I agree that making the chassis longer is the best way if you have a metal chassis .Cutting and then try to epoxy a splice im not sure of. If you have done this post some pics please. On the T3 the front clip is a metal section that bolts on so that might be the answer to the chassis mod. Make a longer sub section that is a direct fit. I have a SC10 and this T3 I raced alot over the years and was just sitting there collecting dust. So I thought I would try this. The wheel base is a tad shorter @ 12.5 " Vs 12.9. When the suspension is compressed the wheels move back but also move inward tucking in behind the fenders. Ill let you know how it runs. I have a 10GT Factoy Team that I want to make a 2wd SCGT. I might make a new chassis for this or cut and splice.
Thanks for the feed back, thats how this project got started, alot of ideas and spare parts.
By the way everything i bought from e-bay for under $100.00

I spliced together 2 LXT chassis to make my LX-SC-T in the Losi forum. It isnt hard and it really withstands the abuse.

upload your pics to photobucket, copy the img. code and paste it to what ever your typing , and the pic will apear.

I love it!

Now that a few projects are caught up, I think I'm gonna try doing an SC10-GT. The GT's wheelbase should be perfect.

Here is a picture that I found on the web of a real SC10 (bottom)and a new picture of my SCT3 (top) at the same angle to compare. I think they are very close. Thanks for all the feed back and good luck with your conversions!

[73cuda2]

Its finished. Time to get it dirty.

[Mr. ED]

nice paint scheme. Simple but really works well

have fun at the track

[slotcarrod]

Very nice truck and body. Love the custom SCT3 decal. Let us know how it compares to the SC10.

[73cuda2]

Thanks, I added the pin stripe today. I ran 3 packs through it over the weekend, it runs and handles great.

[17nut]

good job
