The Build – Part 9 Part 9 is a set of short steps as well. We’re installing the electronics, however the manual doesn’t go into detail about where to mount the ESC or receiver. I’m installing them in the most …

The Build – Part 8 Part 8 is a short step; we’re basically bolting on the miscellaneous chassis bits prior to final assembly. Pretty easy. Build Notes: None. Start off by sliding the body posts down into the front body …

The Build – Part 3 The LM-1 uses a unique dual-bellcrank steering system, a setup found mostly in offroad and touring cars. This setup makes the steering feel (and react) a bit differently than a direct-setup and I’m actually loving …

The Build – Part 7 The shocks (or dampers) on any car, onroad or off, are probably the most important, and overlooked, parts of the car. Built correctly, they will give you a distinct advantage over those that don’t take …

The Build – Part 2 The next step of our Speed Passion LM-1 LeMans build is the assembly of the rear axle. We’ll also be assembling the differential as well. Build Notes: While not the norm, we do have to …

The Build – Part 3 The front suspension is up next, which includes turnbuckles, suspension arms, the shock tower and front bumper. Build Notes: You’ll be building turnbuckles in this step…never any fun. Have a few rags around to hold …

For those hardcore Team Associated SC10 owners that are extremely rough on their short course trucks, there is a product from DE Racing that you need to keep your truck ready for action. The DE Racing Chassis brace is a …

The Build – Part 2 Part 2 of our build revolves around the steering system and front bulkhead of the 22SCT. The steering is quite unique, utilizing a sliding rack design. It attaches to the upper plate and can be …

The Build – Part 1 The 22SCT is a pretty free-flowing build. Up front it has us installing the servo and steering rack, so let’s get started. Build Notes: Pay attention to the servo chart on page 12. This will …
