It's been a while since I did anything about my LC80 shell and the conversion the SCX10 II chassis needs to take the scale interior. So here's a short update on what I discovered about SSD's scale transmission, how it fits in the chassis and what it's like to work on.

I couldn't agree more... it's so scale! Looks amazing. I follow somebody on Instagram (marcsgarage) who's just built one though, and he seems to be saying it has a few issues to work through. I'm not sure what exactly. But my god, it certainly looks the part... 😁👍

Nice looking parts for sure. Glad you got it sorted mate. Secretly I knew you would...lol. Looking forward to finished truck as I'm sure you are also. The year 2021 was my childhood future and now here it is.. I hope you have a fantastic New year Steve. Cheers👍

Thanks, and happy new year to you too! Yeah, 2021 sounds ludicrously futuristic (glossing over the fact that 2000 used to sound futuristic as well, and 1984 before that 😱) but it doesn't FEEL that futuristic. Or saying that, maybe it does? I think 1984 me would have been blown away by lipo batteries, scale 4x4 drivetrains and youtube videos on pocketable phones... 👍

I've talked to Chris at ssd it's a 14t 48p pinion gear so you could gear up or down a few teeth

Nice work on the rig, Steve! Looks like a "proper job"!!! Hope the gearing is spot-on, or there will be furious head-scratching to come! Oh, and the ending was hilarious... I've said it before, but it is New Years Day, it would be rude not to wish you a fantastic 2021! All the best, dude. :O)

In the very brief run I've had with it, I'd say yes - the gearing's great! Luckily... 😬🤣

hey can i ask u a question i have the same ssd scx10.2 scale trans...my question is what servo mount are u using in this video??

@rccrawlersmid-wales645 2 ай бұрын

I was lucky really, as I also used the RC Run body mount for the LC80 and that features a servo mount. So I didn't even have to mess around. It puts the servo across the chassis where a radiator would be in a real car.
