well i'm sorry if i offended anyone, all i was trying to do was get my point across that he was thinking of the wrong crawler. the lock isn't needed as i've posted enough in this thread and it was obiously a mistake in creating this thread but i will finish this by saying that i have mentioned that it is a 1/10 and have posted pictures, all of this only happened because he didn't belive me about my crawler and anyway, i'm not converting, i'm buying an scx10.
hsp crawler thread
hi all, my new hsp crawler got here today and went for the first crawl. so far the standerd esc's drag break was enough to hold it anywhere it would go so it wont be upgraded for a while (untill it stops working). the tires look grippy but aren't very crash hot
and the foams are soft, very soft actually but hold the wheight of the rig. the suspention is pretty sh!tty and the torque twist is massive and the chassis sits too high. the tires rub on the lower link and the body so the body will need some trimming. it goes almost 80 degreas up before it rolls backwards. it has no steering angle (about 10-15 degreas). and the gearbox is essentaily a cheap knock-off of the ax10 gearbox. all in all it's about what you would expect from hsp. so, here's some pics (forgot the camera when i took it for a run)

Hi Everyone,
Have been looking for a bigger and better body for my 1/8 Hsp crawler since 2011 and have finally found one. It's a Smartech body, from a 1/5 big foot. Mounted it with some hsp body posts used in their 10th scale on road cars. Enjoy the pics.

So I converted my HSP Pangolin into an Axial SCX10. Used the HSP drivetrain and electrics and an Axial SCX10 chassis I picked up 2nd hand.

To this.
The gearbox mount/skid plate has to have 2 of the holes slotted to mount up the HSP gearbox. Otherwise everything else just worked. I fitted stock plastic axial links on the front as i had them spare. I used some of the HSP links to make a 4 link setup on the rear. The front lower links on the HSP are bent inwards to give more steering angle. I turned these 90deg and used them for rear lower links. The bend gives them higher clearance. Then used the rear links to make upper links for the rear with a custom 4 link mount. I also deleted the rear steering bar.
