If I truly wanted to turn my STe into a full-on 10 SC it would cost at least as much as the 10 SC truck itself. So here's the plan:
-custom chassis, with similar dimensions to the Hyper 10 SC's chassis
-Slash nerf bars on custom mounts
-reuse all components off the Mini STe's chassis except for the center-rear driveshaft
-Proline Slash rear 2.2 beadlocks (already acquired a few weeks ago)
-Proline Hardcore body (also acquired previously)
-cut apart center-rear driveshaft from Mini STe and use tubing to make one of the proper length for the 10 SC
What is on the way:
- Ofna 21121 front shock tower
- Ofna 21122 rear shock tower
- Ofna 21124 body post set
- Ofna 21125 front bumper set
- Ofna 21126 rear bumper set
- 2 sets of Ofna Mutilator front shocks
So for a bit over $100 plus a few custom pieces you too could have a pretty cool Hyper 10 SC! However, it's still lacking the proper nerf bars, driveshafts, roll bar, and chassis braces but it should still work well enough  |
I hate to say this, but by the time you figure out tires/wheels/body and the other goodies it's so not worth the effort. Keep the parts you have breakage.. and get the new unit.. prices will drop 20-40 bucks pretty quick.. or just use a coupon at amain.
