Jem shares her experience learning to assemble the Suspension Links and Shocks for the viewers to see! The truck she is building is an Axial SCX10 2 4x4 kit. This is her first build of an RC truck, and she wanted to film it herself in hopes of inspiring other ladies out there to build, or follow along on her RC Adventure!

Lot's of folks ask me about the "Hex Drivers" we use for our drill or hand turn drivers - here is a link:
If you want a tool "set" - this one is pretty good:
Our goal is to capture a real time new builders first experiences when faced with challenges that we all encounter when assembling these types of trucks. We have given her a list of tips and tricks prior to the filming of this production - and she does a great job of passing it along to the viewers! It is not easy to build a kit, AND film at the same time - so we all SALUTE YOU JEM! Your doing awesome!
In the next film (part 3), we will cover how the Transmission is built
Here are some stock specs about the truck she is building:
SCX10 II™ 2000 Jeep® Cherokee 1/10th Scale Electric 4WD – Kit
AR44 HI-PINION AXLES:
High pinion gears for added ground clearance & better driveshaft angles
The high pinion design allows increased gear surface contact for increased durability
Larger load bearings used around the gear set to reduce flex and create a stronger drivetrain
Single piece axle housing for added strength
Small pumpkin for increased clearance and a more realistic, scale look
Front and rear 1-piece lockers
Bolt on link mounts
Knuckle carriers and straight axle adapters have a better mounting system with 10-degree increment adjustments
Optimized gear ratio – 3.75 compared the previous at 2.92 – this reduces torque twist at the axle which is typically seen with other small pumpkin axle designs

Comes with molded scale detail parts (Grill with clear lenses, mirrors, door handles and liftgate trim panel).
Clear Body with detailed decal sheet and window masks
