XSC project

[mk2mike]

Picked up an XSC with no body, and no compression for $100


Tore it apart, put a new top end on it, found the battery was bad, wheel bearings toast, throttle servo fried...

Great buy looks good!!!

Nice find!! All the upgrades and your still in cheaper than new with no upgrade.

Thanks guys! I ordered a set of RamTech wheel adapters as I spun my hub on an XSC wheel.... terrible design.

Also with RamTech I ordered a 3rd Channel Kill switch and some Rovan wheels that almost look like Trencher knock-offs, yes they're staggered widths but feel it shouldn't make too big of a difference... though the Diameter of 7.5" is a big difference and what i'm looking for.

My only fear is the taller diameter of the wheel assembly will make contact with my JetPro side pipe, hope between the adapaters and lower offset of the new wheels it'll clear

Recieved the parts today! Thanks for the super fast shipping!

Rob, I was told by a friend today who also has a 1:5 scale Rampage that the gear plate is a must do item.... Would you suggest this as well?

If you are running the plastic gear plate then yes it is a must do.

Yessir, it's the plastic gear plate, pulled the cover, everything looks to be in okay shape, but will probably run this until it burns up. I started looking at aluminum hop ups and relized I wanted everything! So quickily got off the page

Well good and bad news! My new wheels clear the side exhaust! BAD NEWS is I did not expect that, and now have a JetPro REAR mount exhaust new shipped to me by Dino fast, that I don't need... DOH

RamTech Adapters installed (forgot to take a picture, but wow... great product

Have yet to install my kill switch, but the wheels made a huge difference over stock!

And my un-needed Jet Pro Rear mount exhaust

Went out bashing with a buddy, dang lower screw for the knuckle backed out, got some good negative camber out of the deal though
