My first scale crawler build... - 12.26.2008, 11:33 PM

As the title says, this will be my first 1.9 wheel based scale-ish build. I have 2 more chassis and one of those is setup to run 3 axles... But you guys have to wait for that build...

Anyways, I have a reign k2-5 chassis for this build. Going to set it up with stock tlt axles, a modded pede tranny, and some jato links. My body is a new blackfoot hard plastic body. Wheelbase is around 10" so it is a short truck. I will run the mud slingers on hpi stock car wheels, just like the pics (those are my buddy's set).

Motor will be a stock mabuchi (sp?) 27t motor running off a tamiya esc. Most likely use a hitec 645 servo as it it metal geared and no servo saver will be used. This truck will be geared for about 10mph, no speed demon here!

Most likely going to run nitro 4-tec shocks, but I may try a semi-droop rear shock setup using short springs on rustler front shocks. That way I can get some more axle articulation and ground clearance in the rear. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I will try it out and post pics.

and the body will be painted blue to match my old f250...

Ok, picture time!!!
