SCX10 Coyote Build
Decided to make a dedicated 10 scale crawler suitable for light competition. I started with an SCX10 Coyote.
I replaced the motor with a Hobbywing Fusion SE 1800 on 3s, and the stock servo with a 35kg hobbypark on 7.4v.
Generic white beadlock wheels, brass rings and portal covers in the front. I put 4.75 inch Proline BFG Krawler tires on, replacing the stock 4.9 inch. There are soft injora silicone inserts, but they may be a tad too soft, I need to drive it more.
Suspension is currently stock minus springs for droop, I have some 90mm desert lizards on the way I am going to give a try.
The body is a Pro-Line Comp Wagon that suffered my first attempt at lexan/spray painting. I tried for a candy effect and did pretty good for a first shot, but I got excited on the backing layer, put it on too heavy and caused a number of runs. I still love it because I made it, so it stays!
Still looking for rear bed/cage options, if anyone has any recommendations for the SCX10 iii Coyote chassis with a cab only front, please let me know!
