As many of you know that I bought a Losi micro rock crawler not too long ago, stock out of the box is fun, but tbh its not scale enough. So I ordered a Aoshima Toyota Hilux Double Cab to use it for a scaler project. The kit showed up today. I didn't waste any time, get started on it right away. So far, I have the front axle 90% mounted. I have did many model kit trucks conversion, but this is my first building a scaler, so if any of you have any tips, feel free to share it. Now its time for pics.
Change the front axle shocks mounts.
Chop off part of the front axle, so that the shock can move freely.
!st attempt on the suspension setup.
Imo, this setup doesn't work too well, so I changed it up a little be, I'll get pics on that tomorrow.
This is how it sits now.
