I am working on setting up my SCX10 with the R2 transmission using the 2 speed unit as well as disconnect. Its taken a lot of careful thinking to make sure it will all function right. The biggest issue was getting around the terrible drive shaft angles from moving the outputs inward. Typically the transmission is mounted flat and the driveshafts are offset but theres no way it will work unless you stretch the wheelbase to a rediculous unscale length. Heres where im at on the truck now
Truck info:
Its 91 4Runner I built to resemble my 94 4Runner using the SCX10 chassis. I have spent many hours beefing up and fully waterproofing this truck and run it off a traxxas brushless with 11.1v lipo. I will have to post the higher res pictures of it underwater and all the hill climb/creek crossing its done. I love this thing it does awesome on the trails.
I have repainted this body 3 times, now its a 4 door
It has the RC4WD aluminum SR5 wheels and soon to be finished chrome grill set, with head lights, turn signals, marker lights, painted valence, grill and toyota emblems.
All done, time to hit the trails. Just waiting on the waterproof servos and steel driveshafts

The grill on the left is what happens when you buy a reproduction grill set. I pulled the tape off after painting the very last part and already had the marker lights and turnsignals on.
The one on the right is an original one I just got in from overseas and is in progress. I think the chrome is gonna stick much better

When I get the new stripe kit for my 94 4runner im gonna use the old stripes to recreate the graphics on the rc truck so they are 100% correct.

I dig the scale wheels (look like 1:1) & tires.
Looks like a fun project.
