Default SCX10-III: Things to know before you build yours (Tips)

EDIT 4/6/20: The instruction manual has been updated for typos. None of the views have changed but typos and part numbers have been fixed...I hope LOL...I can look at these 100 times, think i got it and then find more after.

AXI03007 Updated Manual 4/6/20

I'm sure someone will let me know :-)

Hi all,

I thought i would share some built tips and notes for your SCX10-III build. Hopefully you will find these handy and I would appreciate you guys sharing these as much as possible.

Thanks,
Rich


Step A-3: Do not over tighten the portal cap screws. Its very easy using a power driver to overtighten these and crack the covers. Also note, the covers are numbered "1" and "2". They are different and specific to the axles. "1" are for the front axle, "2" are for the rear.



Step B-1: Add a drop of oil to the o-rings before you install the cap. This helps to keep the threads from tearing the o-rings.



Step B-1 Springs: Green marked springs for the front, Red for the rear (I forgot to add this info to the manual)



Step C-1: You only need to install the spacer if you plan to NOT use 2-speed. If you install the spacer inside the trans, you will be in low gear, pull the shifter out and install it on the outside and you will be locked in "high" speed.



Step C-2: The manual view is a little tough to make out exactly where each screw goes, i've added an image to help show their location.



Step C-5: Add a little drop of CA or other glue to help hold the M3 nut in the plastic mount. It's not usually an issue but they could pop out. Also, note to install the Right (Passenger) transmission mount first before installing the lower cover.



Step E-1: Typo. Two short "1" shafts should be used on the front.



Step F-2: Just showing a clearer picture for location of the shorter screws.



Step F-3: I Highly suggest tapping the holes on the tower to mount the panhard mount and the hole for the panhard bar link mount. DO NOT USE A POWER DRIVER as it you could strip these holes. Take your time getting these threaded. Our shock tower material is very stiff.



Step F-3 (2): Depending on your servo, you may need to trim the base as pictured to clear the face of some servos. Its very minor but double check when you screw your servo down that it is flush and sitting level/perpendicular to the shock tower.



Step F-9:Again I suggest Pre-tapping the holes with a 3mm tap. Also note, the Drivers side Left front shock uses a smaller 18mm screw to hold the shock to the tower. If you use a longer one, you will start screwing into the side of your servo case.



Step F-10: Again, I suggest Pre-tapping the holes with a 3mm tap and NOT use a power driver.



Step H-2: Again I suggest Pre-tapping the top holes for the brace. Also, when installing the motor cover, hand tighten these as it is easy to over tighten and break the cover if you has a power driver.



Step J-5: Typo here, the screws should be M3 x 12mm and not M2.5 x 12 as noted in the manual. The hardware in the parts bag is correct.
