PROJECT
One of the best things about
the trail-truck scene is how
easy it is to personalize your ride
with the nearly endless array of
aftermarket goodies out there—
especially if you own the most
popular truck, Axial’s SCX10.
Offered as a kit and RTR and plenty
capable right out of the box, the
SCX10 is the “blank canvas” for
countless trail builds. If you can
paint a body and turn a wrench,
you can style out an SCX10 as mild
or wild as your budget allows. I
enjoyed a little bolt-on fun myself
for my own SCX10 project, but I
wanted the finished truck to be
truly unique—that meant a custom
body for a style not offered in
Lexan. I’ve always wanted to do
a 1932 Ford, although more for
general inspiration rather than a
to-the-millimeter modeling job.
The result is what you see here: a
one-of-a-kind custom that mixes
distinctive touches (namely the
handmade body and flatbed) with
parts you can get at your hobby
store right now.
