Pro-Line HOW TO: Install Twin I-Beam 2WD Pre-Runner Suspension Conversion Kit for SCX10

[@danielbaugher1798]

so you discontinue the pre runner fender flare kit for the ranger, then release a pre runner suspension kit?

[@Bziiit.]

This kit as the ability to turn a simple crawler into a cool and unique machine! Thank you Proline.

[@toolbaggers]

It's like cutting off your thumbs to be 'unique' like in the past. That's what removing 4wd and adding a non-double wishbone suspension is like....a regression to 1910's technology.

[@Bziiit.]

This is one of my fav things proline has done, hope they come out with aluminum upgrade bits.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I wish people realized that metal is not an upgrade in this scale. The flexibility of this plastic is what will help these hold up

[@max7143]

Have you watched the slow motion of these kits landing smh. The tires go 90* to the chassis. These are way too soft for anything but looking cool on a bookshelf.

I had a bronco with a superlift suspension....man that thing gives me good memory's.😅

This is rad Pro-Line, you guys are the best... now about that f-100 you know would look SO good!

Pretty dang stoked! Got two on order!

I don't have an SCX10 but now I want to get one just to put that suspension kit on it 😭😭

I got 2 scx10s laying around. Make for some fun racing.

[@moe282]

Where can we get spare parts I already broke a beam?

[@kevinmontgomery9475]

Not sure what everyone's experience is after the build but here is mine. In a straight line its awesome. Super top heavy and very unstable when turning. I used a 3300 kv puller pro and tried big 5000 mah packs and small 2200 packs without a noticeable difference. Rear swaybar did help some. Hoping to see some more in depth setup videos soon.

[@magnetico6389]

Is there a sway bar??

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

It's going to take a lot more than this kit to get real performance out of these. The base is there but I think proline completely mist the concept while still achieving the goal. Although the TTB front end is well done they completely mist the points that make these trucks work propperlly. First mistake was using stock length shocks.

[@Bingo_Bango_69]

That's because Pro-Line wants you to install the kit and then keep the truck on a shelf where it looks cool.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

​@@Bingo_Bango_69I personally can't stand the instagram style non functioning models. My personal rigs are built to use and built with real world respect to what makes these trucks special in real life.

[@asty418]

@@DoubleClutchProductions Im looking into one of these kits to turn my 10.2 into a prerunner, apart from longer shocks what else would you be changing or adding to this kit?

[@TheSmokeStack]

Now you too can know the joy of owning an 80's Ford truck! LOL! This is an awesome idea for a kit! Thanks for releasing this, and for adding another thing to my list to get. 😁

[@johnathanfarquhar1981]

Most Baha race trucks use twin beam front suspention, because it gives you huge amount of travel in the front.

[@TheSmokeStack]

@@johnathanfarquhar1981 I know, but the downside to TTB is a constantly changing camber and tow. Not that big of a deal on a race truck, or RC car, but it's temperamental with tire wear on street driven trucks. Hence me making a crack on 80s Ford 1/2 and 3/4 ton truck owners. Like I said though. I like the kit and plan on using one to make a scale desert truck whenever my play money opens up.

[@angrymelon]

Is there a parts list for how to convert an original SCX10?

[@TurboTaco2JZ]

TTBs with a chevy body. Makes a lot of sense.

[@MikesRCWorld]

already got my project started! just waiting for the Beam kit to ship

[@DisasterRC]

find it funny that you used a chevy body for this when chevy never had a twin I beam suspension, yet proline makes a killer ford ranger body with prerunner rear fender flares that would actually have a twin i beam front. weird must not be truck guys making these things lol

[@TrokaRC]

Lol

[@serrated13]

There are a lot of Chevy trucks with I beams. It's always been the least expensive way to get gobs of travel.

[@PNWRIPPA]

Yeah you can pretty much twin I beam anything and ford actually had a twin traction beam front end kinda independent/straight axle crossover. Never had a twin I beam, nothing did from factory.

[@chazbeaumont65]

​@@PNWRIPPAWhat would you call the front suspension used on Ford 2 wheel drive trucks from 65-90 then if not twin beam?

[@MikesRCWorld]

Beams have been swapped into Toyotas, Jeeps, Chevys ETC...

That is a super cool kit. Ready to start seeing more bodies get released too. What bumper is that? Doesn't like oem Axial bumper.

Good luck, both kits are very complicated. Also, look at 1:1 4WD TTB suspension, the pumpkin is mounted on one of the arms.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Pros, TTB, Cons, stock length shocks,no sway bar, rear battery is not actually over or behind the axle resulting in poor CG, the front shock towers flex terribly, almost all mounting holes are stripped after just a few mock up sessions. Did I mention stock length shocks. I dont think my beams will survive very long, my rear parts bag went straight into the trash too. What sucks is all this info is easily available, you have to work hard to not use it.

what are you talking about exactly? it has a transmission, also the gearing would depend on what motor and tyre diameter you use and what speed you want, if you can use a screwdriver you can experiment with gear ratios, its not hard

[@Bingo_Bango_69]

@discovolante6624 the 2WD pre-runner suspension kit does not turn your Axial I and II into a functioning 2wd pre-runner, it just makes it look like a pre-runner. Pro-Line released this as a way to make your old and outdated crawlers look cool on the shelf.

First thing, why would you ever want to give up your front diff for 2 wheel drive. it is very stupid and makes no sense at all. Anyone who does has lost their stupid ding bat screw ball head. now for the second issue. you loose power and torque by dropping the drive shaft from the motor. there is no proper way to block that out put and keep it going back to the rear end. a failure at that point. at this point all you have now is a shelf queen. as well as an unusable truck
