Its been 5 months since I felt done with my build.

TLT based
k2-5 chassis
My old clod body from like 1996.
axial trans
1.9 msd wheels
1.9 mudslingers
Traxxas slash electronics

I had been debating a color to help give my scaler a new look and get ready to show off at our local "Car Show" this comeing mid July.

I found some time to sand the old purple body down about four months ago,

and then took a break to comp. our local club's points season.

I ended the season second in the points standings.
Now its time to finnish this unfinishable project.

Any ways, Here is the the supposed look of my scaler:

Fire engine yellow.
Or close to it. Red was a frontline candidate but there where many RED chevy's out there, and only like one other yellow one.
So Yellow it is.

I also got the custome pipe racks painted. But now I will need to figure a way to mount them so It dont keep falling off.

whats up my braddah, nice paint job. But you could have at list bling,bling the tires. Why get some action at the car show. Maybe gata bust out something new.

I have a few things in mind but, as always, Things never turn out exacty as planned. The only thing I know is that it is going to be fun, fun, fun.

Figured a way to mount my pipe rack's.

I brazed tamiya bolts tot he bottom of the racks and drilled holes in the bed to allow 3m screws to hold um.
I should have figured this out before painting the rack.
I had to repaint, DOI.

I got some scale lights on order and looking foward to doing some electrical work for a change. Also I have a 1/12 scale bobcat in the mail, and will be needing to fab a scale trailor to hat the machine.
Any Ideas on a trailor, Post um.

brah, looking good. i just "re"-started working on my crew cab, choke more body work. electronics & chassis almost there.

fantastic color! At first I thought it might look better with the white like chevy's usually have

but I searched for a sample image and had a hard time finding one. found plenty of 1:1 all yellows though so you're probably right leaving it all yellow for a more scale look.

looks good

ryan48 · 07-05-2009, 05:17 AM

yes now hopefully we can get our scale class going

nytuber · 07-05-2009, 06:43 AM

Yellow was a nice choice! The rack looks good too. Makes me miss my 1.9 clod

Da Hermit · 08-07-2009, 03:27 AM

Well, Its been over a month now. I think old yellow is going to be a scale Puller(termite?) for now till the scale crawler class get organized.

C'mon Hermit, Get it going!!!!!!!
