Dragbolt - World’s Fastest SCX10

This was the first subject of the Monthly Mayhem series. The challenge was to take a Axial SCX10-2 Deadbolt and create the fastest car possible while retaining the stock style axle, stock body and chassis

Build Breakdown:

Base Vehicle: Axial Racing SCX10-II Deadbolt

Like many custom projects, not much of the base was left at the end, but some that did remain may surprise you. The rear axle remains 100% stock, stock driveshafts and stock shock towers, stock DOG BONES.

Body: Axial Racing Deadbolt

The rules of the challenge stated that we had to use the stock body but trimming was allowed. At the end of the challenge, a custom windshield was added to create downforce in the center of the chassis.
