Brandon’s Trail Ranger: Axial Rock Sliders Installed!

Just got my hands on a set of the new Axial Rock Sliders. They bolt right up to the Axial SCX10 frame using existing holes and hardware. These rock sliders will fit most bodies on the market really well. I am using Axial’s Trail Ranger body that is slightly narrower than most so I did a little bit of modification to them to keep the sliders tucked up against the body.

In the first picture you can see the original length of the adjustment post on the slider as well as the frame mount for the slider. Both were modified to bring the slider in closer to the body.

Here you can see how easily I changed the width and how drastic of a change it made. This should allow for the sliders to be very universal to match a wide range of bodies.

Here you can see the rock sliders doing there job… Actually I just needed something to hold it up, this was about where the sliders would have been without modifying them.

Next I used my Axial Stepped body reamer (Axial #AX20036) to add the holes into the mounts and ran a 10mm screw through everything.

Bolted them onto the frame. The slider mounts use the existing hardware from the upper links.
