|  High Strung Chevy Truggy well its time to start on a new scaler for me. Some of you may have seen my old heavy chevy roasting the tires and submarining in the videos i've taken   i bought my girlfriend a Tamiya F-150 for her to completely put together and paint. well it turned out pretty good but she got aggrevated with it cause it wasnt waterproof and it was open diff front and rear. So im gonna pass the heavy chevy onto her to continue to beat on all the other scalers in our club.LOL  Watch out for Tiffany guys  New build. picked up a Chevy SS body, X-Trail chassis, and TLT shocks off here to start with. Planned Specs. include: JRH 25t 540 Handwound motor Sidewinder Elite 4800 3s CC BEC ? maybe R2d reversed to the front for normal 2wd/4wd  Hot racing 1.9 Beadlocks 2.2 slingers Reduced 645 servo Axial Axles straight axles and Axial plastic adapters in the rear Spektrum of course WATERPROOFED pede shafts and metal yokes Inspiration for this build came from: MTHead MTHead's Truggy (completed pics pg 7) dezfan Rock Rescue/Recovery/ & Repair Vehicle exesivefire 1.9 Silverado truggy.. Definitely some TOP Notch builds there. I applaud you guys. The Bed is gonna be hacked off and all tube in the rear and No Doubt the front will be bobbed  Since all the parts are on order right now. all i have to work with is the body, chassis, and shocks   the elite 4800 3s is supposed to be the same size as a stick pack. So that works perfect!  started working on the shocks    Last edited by cspyy; 06-15-2008 at 09:18 PM. |

| Thats a great start you got going there Cody. I have a SS Truggy I've been working on forever now. Once state is done here I am going to finish it up and the next comp you come down to we should do some scaler runs |
