Well I finally got around to getting my build up on the boards.

I wanted to do something that hasnt (or isnt done much) been done before. So I decided to build a yota truggy, but with a twist

Axial axles w/ all the goodies
Pede trans w/ 45t motor
Hitec 645MG servo
custom dovenosed hilux cab
K2-3L Chassis
1.9 SCX wheels
1.9 G8 Flatirons

It is sitting WAY high right now, but I think I am going to make it full droop, since it looks really good on there.

I still need to make the EXO and the truggy rear end. I am hoping to atleast get it running by the comp

Jester666 · 06-07-2009, 12:10 PM

great start. Nice job on narrowing the front.

I dont think it sits to high. Looks like a good hight to me.
Keep the pics coming.

vipxj · 06-07-2009, 12:45 PM

I like it that height to,looks good.

t_kirl · 06-07-2009, 01:14 PM

You should def. run full droop. Would make it look much better IMO.

RJLosi · 06-07-2009, 01:31 PM

Looking good. you going to use a hilux bed or tube it??

amorton94 · 06-07-2009, 02:11 PM

I think either height you choose will look killer. It looks great now I think, but droop would look great too. So which ever you choose will look great, well to me anyways ;).

Going Up! · 06-07-2009, 02:11 PM

The rear is going to be all tubed out

I havent decided on the height yet, since I will be making the cage out of solid 3/16" rod, I wanna see how that will weigh it down before I decide to eith full droop it or not. Since that stuff is pretty heavy, it might weight it down just right.

RJLosi · 06-07-2009, 04:57 PM

solid rod is going to wiegh it done a bit. 3/16 brake line should be plenty strong enough and light so u could run the droop.

Going Up! · 06-11-2009, 11:14 PM

Since I last posted I drooped the suspension, and I think it looks WAY better!!

I also switched out the miss-matched links for all matching links, and some other random stuff

Bro!!!! that is looking killer! you definitely dont need any ideas or pics of my rigs with your talent... cant wait to see how this turns out!!!

Thanks man!!!

Ya I am totally excited to get it finished up, and running

Toycrawler5481 · 06-15-2009, 10:37 AM

So here are some updated pics from my yota. I modified it a bit to crawl a bit better and look a tad more scale.

I lowered it and put some losi mini crawler shocks on, threw new axial bead lock rims and thrasher tires, trimmed the body and fenders and remounted the electronics and working on the interior. Like I said Im definitely not to your level so I cant wait to see how yours turns out.Thanks for the compliments

Jester666 · 06-15-2009, 12:02 PM

looks pretty sweet

I like how you opened up the front fender wells.

That thing is SICK!!! I really REALLY like it!! If you ever wanna sell it, hit me up!

Mine will be going in for tube work soon!

fernando · 06-17-2009, 12:01 PM

I like your scale build. Theres only one problem " You have it and not me "

Great looking rig.

STANG KILLA SS · 06-17-2009, 12:34 PM

id shorten the front links. the comp crawler look isnt quite right for a scaler.
and wouldnt it be narrowed not bobtailed?

either or, sweet project. bring that front axle back in, and the rear tubed out and youll have one badass scaler! ;)

Mac10 · 06-17-2009, 12:58 PM

I agree with stang killa!
I told him to suck it in, but he like's it that way for some reason???

once i start brazing that cab is going nowhere!

fernando · 06-17-2009, 01:31 PM

You could put some wheel fenders on there to help tuck those tires.

Going Up! · 06-17-2009, 08:15 PM

I dont know what it is, I just love the look of the front end pushed out a bit, I plan on cutting out the fenders to clear the tires when felxing, but I think once the cage work is all done, it will be one sick rig.

I need to play with it, and see what I should do, The access frame sticking out past my rear shock towers will be cut off, once I figure out the cage.
