UXF Offroad SDime

[suicide_star]

Started this project an hour ago...it's a 2nd gen S10 body, red w/ black trim...
Modlist:
Radline Stock motor
Locked diff w/ 4wd
Metal Bearings
Wide Axel Stubs
Aoshima Swampers
GPM ridgeless rims

To come:
6 cell upgrade
2x2 fet stack
a few body mods
fog lights, tail lights, head lights
actual body mounts (body's just sitting on chassis atm)

My goal is to make a good offroader with good top speed, NOT a crawler.

Everyone has Aoshima's. I want some! But awesome S-10. Looks sick.

thnx...i found those Aoshima's in a toyota hilux model kit, it was marked down to like $20...jacked the tires, threw the rest of the kit away

[xmodificationer]

why not give the kit to me?

[taiwanesekid05]

That thing's pretty tall

I'd bring it down a bit IMO to make it look more realistic.

[nitemeer]

looks pretty nice

Nice. You might consider lowering the body down a hair and painting the chassis black.

[suicide_star]

the interior didn't allow for it to sit any lower, so i removed it...it'll actually sits about 5MM lower, the body will actually cover part of the chassis though. Flat Black paint is definitely a plan for the chassis

how do you get those aoshimas to fit without rubbing? i cant get the lift kit and i dont know how to make a spacer
nice lookin truck but it is a little tall for an S-10

it's going to sit a bit lower. here's a good way to lift your body, it's very easy and inexpensive http://ultimatexmods.com/index.php?topic=36.0

been there, done that haha, on the avalanche. but here the kits are marked down to $12 now, i bought mine for $15, they're regularly $20

looks good so far, i'd say when you mount the body, make it a bit lower than it is now, and do a battery pack relocation

[suicide_star]

ok, how about we quit playing games?
i'd say this qualifies as an offroad Sdime.

Chassis:Radline
Mods: Oil filled alloy shocks, metal bearings upgrade
Plans: 180 motor, LiPo, and a fet upgrade.








let's face it...sometimes an Xtruck chassis just doesn't cut it. =) i'm holding off on all my other projects until this one is 100% functional, i cleaned up my work space so i found all of my tools and i'm ready to jump on some hardcare xmodding. =P

PS...im well aware that the tires are on backwards lmfao...it's late, i apologize.

One word: Big.

[fieldfairy2]

Nice. Radline monster truck chassis i believe? Nice tires lol. Are you really keeping that chassis? i don't care i am just asking. Really nice. Keep us updated.

[theruns]

dam, that is awesome

[nitemeer]

dam.. giant wheels lol

[noturday]

Radline chassis FTW!

dude, with that 180 motor you wont be disappointed, and the wheels should be facing that way, it actually grips rocks and mud and stuff better that way. those tires are HUGE, but they give the chassis plenty of clearance which is an issue with my radline. this thing should be pretty sweet off road though, and if you do end up breaking a dogbone (probably wont, the tabs on the wheels tend to break first) they do make aluminum CVDs for it.

look on AM, they have a few alum parts for them, but some are only for the Master series

[Boost101]

Those wheels look way to big for that chassis, but that just me.

[fieldfairy2]

to add to what Noturday said. I believe towerhobbies sells aluminum rims which will last longer than the plastic ones. The tabs break off so easily. Very nice tho.
