Pretty cool rig. I never gave a dually much thought until I did it myself to my Trailfinder. I have a 6x6 and the extra axle really increases the offroad performance quite a bit. I didn't think a single axle with dually wheel would help much but I love it. Duallys in the rear are awesome.
Get some long screws and a extra set of wheels. Drill out the center hex area of the outer one so you can get your axle nut on. The middle one will be what your axle hex goes to. Use just the rim and not the beadlock. The inner wheel will need the center cut out so the outer part of the axle will clear. Drill through the inner and middle rims. Install the long scews and they'll pull it all together threading into the outer rim. No coupler and losing your outer wheel.
I have a question for you being there is a joint almost at the wheel end and only one bearing do you have an issue with the truck looking like it has camber on the rear meaning is the rear tires as ridged as they are on a stock axle also I noticed the spacers that you used to keep the spacing correct between the wheels what actually drives the outside wheels? thanks for your time and good idea
Would it be possible to tell me the size of those hex couplers Please I've been trying to find them Your link doesn't work anymore Please let me know if possible
Dale, thanks for the video. I am building a scale wrecker and this is very helpful. I would like to use you design for my rear axle, however I am having a very hard time sourcing the hex couplers that you use. please inform us where to find these.
In today's episode of "where does the Rona take me" brings me here, a 6 1/2 year old how to mod video. Good job bro. Any deflection or wobbling caused by just one support bearing on the drive cup axle?
great job! that is a really nice clean scale look. and your right about how most people just add a wheel to the outside which looks pretty ugly and not very scale to me. this video should really have a lot more thumbs up and views cause you did a fantastic job and also thanks for sharing. thumbs up and subed.
Looked like the outer dually wheels don't have a 12mm hex behind them to offer real grip...like they're just gonna be turning because if the friction from the screw holding it to the extension. Do you have plans to use a 12mm hex on the outside wheels?
No plans to use a 12mm hex because they work perfectly fine the way they are. With the amount of friction they are on strong just like they normally would be on the hex and they offer a lot of grip. Just make sure its on tight. Add some blue locktite and your laughing. Been running it like this for years and never had an issue.
Yah, this is a neat mudder, perhaps, but not a proper dualie/dually**. Though as a mudder i have to wonder how long that screw holding the halves together will last. ** There is some variety in the alignment between Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Etc. but generally you are spot on, and none of them look like the model above. But then, the RC community is forever making 'School Bus' rigs that are straight 4X4s, so it seems like the definition of dualie is hiding in plain sight.
On my F650 flatbed tow truck, my front wheel spacing was the same as my outside rear dual spacing. Basically meaning the front wheels were wider than most normal vehicles, and the inner dual would be further in than the front tires. The outside duals and the front steer tires were on the same path.
Easy to do thx for showing us. As i was sitting here i thought about using Wraith front axles you would need two short sides but you only gain about a 1/4" per side, both sides for a total of just under a half. In some cases i guess it might work. Have you got any other axles that have worked? Besides the losi
I have thought about wraith axles on the front but then i thought might be to wide for me to try and keep a scale look. No have not tried other axles other then many failed attempts. Only thing Lodi are the drive shaft itself.
thanks for sharing you mods.now I was wondering if you're running 1/10 on you honcho with usually wheels.I have axial scx10 model.we'll that mods work on it? thank you again.
This is a Axial 1/10 SCX10 Honcho. Wheels, axles, chassis, etc. It is all a SCX10 model. Only mods done is what you have seen and if it works on my SCX10 then yes it will work on your SCX10 and everyone elses.
+DribbleGamingTV I did the same thing only with scx10 rear diff and wraith front diff. same thing no cutting, I made it work with hex spacers on the front. axial makes hex spacers so does rc4wd
+ben dover that's also another way to do it. Only reason I did not do it that way is because I did not want my front end sticking out any farther and was going for as scale as possible.
Cheaper to modify rims. There is so much tress coming to those bearings, as there is uniball joint that i doubt it will last long like this. You can get it last if done properly by modifying stock style hard axle, but like i said one harder jump and that axle is probably dead/cracked.
Im interested in RC. And this truck is work way more then $20 or even $30. Thats an ignorant offer. This is a SCX10 which is custom built. Go look up a brand new one they are at least $300 plus.
hi I saw your rear shocks r mounted straight to your frame and not on your shock mounts was wondering what kind of shock they r so I can do the same cuz I want to put a flat bed on my scx-10.
They are actually the stock shocks that came with the truck 4 years ago when I bought it. I just took the springs off for a droop setup. Doing it like this and mounting to the chassis itself gave it a little bit more height and better flex and way less rolling the truck over.
That's what makes this hobby amazing. The imagination is the only limit! Great job.
Pretty cool rig.

I had a 6x6 for a bit. I just love the dually look and feel.

Mod is permanent yes. But I love the dually look and have a separate build of a non dually truck planned. But yes looks a lot better for sure.
Thanks Brian, looks so much better and more scale now.
Thanks Nate. Truck looks a lot better now for sure.
Well done buddy! Great looking rig!
I have a question for you being there is a joint almost at the wheel end and only one bearing do you have an issue with the truck looking like it has camber on the rear meaning is the rear tires as ridged as they are on a stock axle also I noticed the spacers that you used to keep the spacing correct between the wheels what actually drives the outside wheels? thanks for your time and good idea
so was the axle end the same size as the scx10 axle end ( part that goes in the differential housing )
Looks great Dale... loving the scale dually look...
Where did you get those hex extensions? For between the wheels.
Where did you get the extensions? Are they called wheel extensions?
Could you please tell me what size bearings you used?
I gotta Axial Scx10 Trail Blazer...can I do this mode to get the true dually look??
Would it be possible to tell me the size of those hex couplers Please
I've been trying to find them
Your link doesn't work anymore
Please let me know if possible
I need help. I’m trying to convert my trail honcho into a dually
Bobby Dellinger yo that’s crazy so am I 😂😂😂
Thanks i was wondering how you go about doin somethin like this
What kind of tires are these?
Oh, very sneaky on the hub spacer in-between your duallie's. :) Nice.
Thanks for stopping by bud.
Dale, thanks for the video. I am building a scale wrecker and this is very helpful. I would like to use you design for my rear axle, however I am having a very hard time sourcing the hex couplers that you use. please inform us where to find these.
Thanks for sharing how you did this. I'm looking for a way of doing this to look scale and your video helped a lot in showing the process.

Excellent!! Thats pretty awesome
Great vid mate and great mod!
what shocks did you use
did the mod hold up?? did the axel break or spin in the ring gear under a load?
Never broke or had any issues. Has held up great for me.
Sweet build! What size are those couplers? (thread and lenght) You've inspired me to try my own dually axle.
Thanks!
GREAT JOB DALE BUT IM DOING THE SAME THING BUT IM GONNAUSE AN AXIAL WRAITH FRONT END AND STOCK REAR BUT GONNA USE THE HEX BOLT SPACER
but wouldn't that little bit of play eventually strip the rear?? just my opinion
+Keith Schreffler I haven't had a issue yet.
That's cool but on a 1:1 dually the inside rear wheels are the same width as the front axle

t i meant was the axle shafts. they are shorter slightly the ones on the short side
what body did you use
thanks for sharing you mods.now I was wondering if you're running 1/10 on you honcho with usually wheels.I have axial scx10 model.we'll that mods work on it? thank you again.

What size tires are you using
Those are 1.9's in the video.
very helpful video, but where Did you get the cuplers?
If you click on the arrow or drop down box in the description I provided links on where I bought them from. Thank You
Thank you man appreciate it
MAGGOT FOR LIFE no problem at all
looks a lot better that way, problem is there's less going back in this mod, its like permanent
Revamptheindustry it's not permanent you just replace the axle LOL
does that r2d2 project you keyboard for your computer
martin wheat ...um what? No idea what you are talking about.
i have seen people buy them little star wars charters but the make a light up keyboard
martin wheat oh yeah I have seen those. No this is the Lego Ultimate Collectors Series R2D2 goes for about $450 and up and no longer made by Lego.
On cool
DribbleGaming oh awesome
do your wheels ever hit the shocks?
Yes they do a bit only at full flex though.
Cool video . Liked&Subscribed! 👍 👍 👍
Where u get de 3 hex bolt bud...?
Cool, Thanks for the tutorial!
do you have any problems when flex?
I had to do a drop setup for my suspension or else the tires would rub on the chassis when it would flex and it would also rub on the shocks.
if you would put a altule truck bed ill pay 30$ but if its the crawler bed 20$
Great Job my friend Dale.
Cool i want to try it, its still holding up any issues with it
Working great. But remember no turning back unless you buy new parts to go back.
Where can I buy trucks like that
+Damin Vargas custom made
But where can I buy sum like that
Damin Vargas hobbies shop
Do these benefit the performance? Cool vid :)
Way better then the stock crappy plastic ones. It does make a difference.
NICE can't wait to try this
Good tip. thanks for the info
if you do plz keep it in dooly mode i love those crawlers /mudders
dually*
what shocks are thoughs ??
+bombshell31600 stock shocks that come on the Axial SCX10
thx...
they look good that way!
Cool video,,subed n liked
Great work bro!
MIDWID!
Hey trouble I didn't realize you were into RC
I was. Not so much anymore.
+DribbleGamingTV if you're not interested i will buy the f650 in this video for 200-250
nice video presentation!
That's genius and badass
this would be awesome on a 6 whell rc
Its in the works with this method. Need to finish my current project first.
Congratulations.
Thanks Man
thx... 4 the info !
No problem and thank you
Sweet bro thx
Cool 👍👌
Love dually's
Pretty cool!
Thank You
What axle did you cut down
Excellent!!
Good job man...
Thank you
+DribbleGamingTV I did the same thing only with scx10 rear diff and wraith front diff. same thing no cutting, I made it work with hex spacers on the front. axial makes hex spacers so does rc4wd
+DribbleGamingTV nice way to keep stock wheel base good job!, I went wider and my honcho doesn't flex like it use to...
+ben dover that's also another way to do it. Only reason I did not do it that way is because I did not want my front end sticking out any farther and was going for as scale as possible.
Nice video.
Why cant someone just sell them already Made that ways i may just Gladly buy it made

cool truck
That's sweet
mistake about 30$
i am doing this upgrade
cool
Very cool
Sweet
Great!!
: ). Great vid
My guy
Neeraj Kangra
Nice
HEY SENES YOUR NOT INTERESTED IN RCS WELL WOULD YOU HAVE INTREST IN SELLING THE TRUCK IN THIS VID I CAN GIVE YOU 20$ IF YOU SELL IT :)
Im interested in RC. And this truck is work way more then $20 or even $30. Thats an ignorant offer. This is a SCX10 which is custom built. Go look up a brand new one they are at least $300 plus.
+Gage Phipps Looking at all the aluminum bits plus the mods plus custom body thats around 300-350 right there
lol "a bit of play"
