Kevin While I had all the arms and stuff off, I thought it would be a good time to install the new Castle motor and tear out the old Traxxas one.
Same deal as the front.. Installing suspension arms is pretty straight forward so I won’t narrate the whole thing.
Here we’re taking off the rear tower.
Putting the front tower together. You can see the adjustability here. The grooved sections lock together with the ability to raise or lower the tower.
The Shock locations are adjustable in that same fashion (in and out). For this setup, we’re running everything all-in, lowest tower setting. We also flipped the Right and Left top shock location pieces to work for our shocks. Below is the front tower installed.
Rear tower installed.
The towers include standoffs for the shocks, which is a bonus. Everything that came with the towers/shocks was a direct bolt on. I didn’t need anything special to make the SC10 4×4 shocks fit this truck.
ESC installed. We’re getting there.

Great write up and details on your upgrades. this is usually how it goes, with untested components failing. I look forward toward you next update.
I to have a Slass 4×4 and have gone with the SSC LCG conversion chassis and rear arms. I have also upgraded the shocks to Kyosho SC shocks and the Castle MM Pro and 1410 motor. Its pretty close, still need to upgrade the uprights and hubs and the shock towers. Ive also had those days with electonice bugs and parts failures. I stopped about 3 months ago. but I may dust it off and start working on it for this fall.
So far it feels as though the 1410 doesn’t have the power to complete triples, but it could be my set up, I am new at this; )
