Thanks man.. There is a company that makes a sammy body that will fit a SCX-10 chassis ( Proline I think..?) I've seen them done up before, they look nice.

I was talking about 1:1's.

[pardonmyn00b]

Damn dude, you almost have as many 1:1's as you do RC's

Hey mate I just read your whole build this thing is awsome you have done such a good job you have even made me try my hand at strynne I'm hoping to do a grille and interior keep up the good work man looks unreall what tires are you running on it ATM ??

Thanks for the inspiration

[1beatjeep]

This is a sweet rig any update parts on it.thanks

[theloudone]

so what scale is this? 1:18 or just a really small 1:10

[1beatjeep]

This would be a 1.55 scale.

1.55 is the tire/wheel size.

1:55 scale is around the size of a matchbox car.

To answer the question, it's roughly 1/10 scale.

The axles really aren't 1/18 scale. Not by a long shot. And the body is 1/10, possibly 1/9 scale. Where did you come up with 1/24 scale body?

Can't believe you found a Sammie to match ur mini crawler I built my scx10 to match my 1-1 Cherokee all the way to the tsl's on the soft 8s super build wish I was so talented

[51WillysJeep]

Hey guys, totally bringing this one back up from the dead, but I was going thru my computer and found some old sammy pics from a car show that shows the little guy with his 1:1 big brother and thought I would share



This also shows the custom 1/4" plate front bumper I made for the 1:1 to match what is on the Slickrock Sammy

The Slickrock Samurai will never die, it just goes into hibernation. I remember when I first started to read this thread I believe you were up to page 7. I was in awe at how cool it is, and how well written your updates are. It is(and always will be) in my top 5 favorite builds on RCC. I love seeing the pics of it and the 1:1(gorgeous truck by the way), they look so perfect together. I do miss seeing thread updates, but seeing pics of it hanging out with it's big brother makes up for it. Just wanted to let you know you've got a serious fan here.

Gotta say, this is the only time I've seen somebody make a part for their 1:1 to match their RC lol.

Your 1:1 Samurai looks amazing. There's somebody here with one, all he has is a 3" body lift on it, it's almost as if he doesn't know how cheap and easy it is to lift one of these safely.

hey, where did you get the rancho steering stabilizer?

[YoUnG_vErSiOn]

Chris remember, I have dibs if you ever get rid of it. Haha sell me it already dammit!
