I pretty much threw this thing together but it came out ok... it performs VERY WELL. it surprised the hell outta me  it will get new tires and im working on a CMS.. I shaved the front axle, made beef toob things not rear ones mind you. 1/4 stainless tube= perfect beef tubes for mrc axles  ..built a steel 4 link truss for front also.         |

thanks guys!! so i burned up the B1R somehow by plugging in a battery during some testing  PISSED.oh well. so over the last month in my spare nite time hours I have been able to get a few more things done on what is now 2 separate rigs, now i finally have one for me and her to drive both, when we go camping and on our trip to newmexico this summer.  ..goal is made, not done yet but they both run and thats good. let me know what you think and see my new tuber build in the 1.9 .. also i do plan on putting scale whels and tires on the red one. I just picked this lil MRC comp buggy up and threw the body and boat sides on.thanks       |

Do you know how much wider are the mrc axles compared to scx-10 axles? They look almost the same on your rig

well i turned the hubs around on the rc4wd 1.5 steel wheels for one, 2nd i have junfac widners on the frnt of one of them. and Im not sure exactly but i think they arent much different, maybe an inch or so BTW these bodies arent 1/10 newbrights they are 8 inch wheelbase and more like 1/16 scale. they are pretty small!! super fun lil rigs to drive! im having a lot of fun on my small course in the back yard , the course fits the smaller rigs much better than it did my 1/10 tj, and its so much easier to build a course for the smaller trucks IMOI have some more updates also, the red one is looking great! thanks everyone | |
