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.
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.
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.
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_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.
@@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?
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 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.
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
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.
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.
I REALLY dont undersrand how this fits an SCX10.1 with different servo location even using kits lile ssd or locked-up rc I dont see this as straightforward for the gen1.
Does anyone know the outside measurement of the SCX10 frame rails.....I've seen 74mm, 76mm, and 78mm. I don't have an SCX10 but if anyone can answer this question, I want to get this kit but plan to make something unique.
Haven’t used my scx10ii in years now it’s coming out of retirement soon as the kit gets here. What are you guys doing for more speed? Brushless system?
Wow great video on the how to. But would have been WAY better to actually see it run…. Just saying Now I gotta find a used cheap 10.2 to make this happen!!
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
@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.
Exactly why I haven’t bought it yet, there is 0 videos of it running, neither from proline nor any other UA-camrs… As soon as there is a video, and if I’m happy with how it seems to perform, I’ll then probably buy at least one! I already bought a 10-2 for this project!
Those aren’t “Ford” beams. They’re modeled after custom fabricated beams which people have installed on every kind of truck out there. And lots of people swapped beams into other makes. 🤦🏼♂️
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
Man you clearly need to do some research. I got 4 of these builds two are 2wd. It's called overdrive with a inverse trans. These properly built and not built for I stagram are the real deal.
so you discontinue the pre runner fender flare kit for the ranger, then release a pre runner suspension kit?
This kit as the ability to turn a simple crawler into a cool and unique machine! Thank you Proline.

@@toolbaggers that's a very dumb remark. I bet you have blue hair.
@@toolbaggershave you ever thought of: not everything is for performance, some things are for fun.
Something are for fun and this my friend is a badass thing for fun 🤣🤣
This is one of my fav things proline has done, hope they come out with aluminum upgrade bits.
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
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.
Pretty dang stoked! Got two on order!
This is rad Pro-Line, you guys are the best... now about that f-100 you know would look SO good!
I had a bronco with a superlift suspension....man that thing gives me good memory's.😅
I got 2 scx10s laying around. Make for some fun racing.

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

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

already got my project started! just waiting for the Beam kit to ship
Where can we get spare parts I already broke a beam?
Is there a parts list for how to convert an original SCX10?
Aye, that's so awesome. It's such a great looking kit and truck!! It's on my list of RC wants now ha
TTBs with a chevy body. Makes a lot of sense.
I’ll be getting one for sure now
That's sick! I did the same thing with my TRX4 sport using 3D-printed parts to produce the same look.
Waiting on a 4x4 version of the beams. If it ever comes out. 😁
crazy how we drop this as soon as they stop selling the 10 II builders kit
WE NEED THE FLARED FENDERS IN STOCK !!! to go with the ranger body
Agreed! AND the ranger body. Both are showing discontinued. We need bodies to fit this mod!
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.
Axial Hanco

Lol
There are a lot of Chevy trucks with I beams. It's always been the least expensive way to get gobs of travel.
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.
@@PNWRIPPAWhat would you call the front suspension used on Ford 2 wheel drive trucks from 65-90 then if not twin beam?
Beams have been swapped into Toyotas, Jeeps, Chevys ETC...

Wow! you guys made another video! That's like 4 this year 😂
Great job, Ian!
Any idea when this will be available again
Got mine ordered, waiting for it to ship. Not sure what body ill use on it
looks awesome! please release a metal kit! would love you long time.
We need bodies that fit this setup. (Ideally proper period correct Fords). It’s wider than crawlers and narrower than sct
Agreed!
When will this be available in the UK?
I wonder if there's a way to marry this to the Element IFS system to give your prerunner 4wd?
Absolutely not lol!
@@DoubleClutchProductions Now I feel promoted to figure out a way to
Good luck, both kits are very complicated. Also, look at 1:1 4WD TTB suspension, the pumpkin is mounted on one of the arms.
Kool stuff🤙🤙🤙🤙
Perfect for my 10.2 that I have nothing to do with
Looks great . Can you all make some jeep Cherokee bodies from the early 70s. Also a ramcharger would be cool. Dont discontinue it so fast this time.
Need a f-100 or ranger body
This needs to be made for the udr
That would be cool but they’d have to make sure to keep it 4 wheel drive!
I agree, beams for a udr would be great!!
UDR owners Crack me up lol
@@DoubleClutchProductions I don’t own a udr, but if I could put beams on it, I would buy one!
They will
what servo do you recommend with this Twin I-Beam?
I'm curious how tough it would be to put in an scx10 iii. Blown my front output gears twice in a month, I would love to do this to my bronco
Now let's see a slowmo running vid
We all know this is a instagram non functional model lol. Sucks they glazed over the real functional side of converting these over
That’s killer awesome job proline 🤌🏼
Great job.
I really want them to come out with a ttb 4x4 version. Even better if they made it “full width” to match an ar60 rear axle.
Is there any way to adjust the pinion angle on the rear axle?
You don't want to with a triangulated 4 link, pinion angle is designed to match the motor pinion angle as much as,possible or you get a wobble
Why not make hex/axels like the Exotek eflite axels?
I REALLY dont undersrand how this fits an SCX10.1 with different servo location even using kits lile ssd or locked-up rc I dont see this as straightforward for the gen1.
Agreed!
Would they be coming in metal sometime soon?

Where can I get that bumper
It's a honcho bumper
How do you fix the steering acronym problem?
Zero degree knuckles with a physical stop at lock! 👊😎
Would this work on a vanquish or injora chassis work?
Haven’t used my scx10ii in years now it’s coming out of retirement soon as the kit gets here. What are you guys doing for more speed? Brushless system?
It’s called a drive cup silly 8 min in
Make a kit for the trx-4m
How will this work on the original SCX10 when it has a axle mounted servo?
Have to use the scx10 2 servo mount
AX90059
wouldn't the steering hubs be the wrong size as well?
Anyone know what bumper that is?
Axial Hancho
Why would you want I beams in the first place? And why would you use anything but a Ford body with I beam chassis?
Look up I Beams and desert racing 👊
Wow great video on the how to. But would have been WAY better to actually see it run…. Just saying
Now I gotta find a used cheap 10.2 to make this happen!!
I need that bumper PROLINE! Please send it to me as a Christmas present. 🎁
Its an Axial bumper. Still available.
@@shaynejenkins446 Does it come with the plates? I only find parts tree listings
Are the sliders needed for this? Or can this be done without them?
Coukd this work on a trx4 with carbon injora chassis? I notice it has holes for 2 top links instead of one like the stock chassis
Straight up thought this was a real rig build and I was kinda confused when he pulls out the small box lol.
What about transmission and gearing???
I do think they glazed over the really important parts. They basically built an instagram non functional model for looks, mildly disappointing
@@DoubleClutchProductions yeah super lazy of them. They even made a body for a non functioning truck. Gotta love it

i have a scx10 1 and it does not have a chassis mounted servo what parts do i need to do this ?
Will this work with the base camp kit
Wondering if there would be a way to fit this kit to the wraith 1.9 or a Capra chassis
Maybe a Wraith 1.9 with the Deadloc rail set 🤔
Why are those front knuckles so different to my one that came with my scx10 ii buikders kit? Does this mean it will not work with my builders kit?
Ignore me lol , I should've watched the whole video first 😊
Seriously? No running video?
Exactly!!!
Exactly why I haven’t bought it yet, there is 0 videos of it running, neither from proline nor any other UA-camrs…
As soon as there is a video, and if I’m happy with how it seems to perform, I’ll then probably buy at least one! I already bought a 10-2 for this project!
That rear pinion angle does not look happy 🧐
Explain further?
