I have always been a fan of the old Dodge A-100s, and Unimogs, but all I had laying around for a hardbody was a Yota. So my imagination got stirring, and I came up with this. This will be a slow and lengthy build thread, because I plan to do more detail than I ever have.

First, thanks to my sponsors
RPP Hobby
Holmes Hobbies
Crawler InNovations
RC4WD
and good friends
Vanquish Products
Cheap Battery Packs
RC BROS

Goal, somewhat, it will have a sloped hood, not this steep...

Specs...
Electronics
Holmes Torquemaster BR-XL waterproof ESC
Holmes Torquemaster Handwound in the 20T flavor

Cheap Battery Packs Elite 2200 3S
JR8711 for the steering
Mini Hitec 225? for the dig

Drivetrain
Axial axles, loaded with
Vanquish Zero Ackerman Hi Steer Knuckles
Vanquish Rear Lockouts
Axial Aluminum C's
Axial HD Gears
S3R Chromoly Lockers
RC4WD XVD's
Axial Tranny with Vanquish Dig, and VP housing

Chassis
SCX-10 chassis with...
Vanquish Shock Hoops
Hand Bros CMS
Honcho Links (LWB)
Axial Aluminum SCX Shocks

Wheels are on order
Vanquish SSZ-11 1.9's (I will machine the lip for some bling)
Nova 1.9 Dual Stage Foams
Undecided on tires, either RC4WD RokLox, or Proline TSL's
My brakes

I eventually want to try my hand at a transfer case setup with the vanquish dig bolted to it laying down. This will be my next step....

What I have so far...

My brakes that will be sammiched in between the VP hubs and the VP wheels...I want to do brake lines, exhaust, the whole works

Start of the hood...

Fenders Chopped...

Cab Chopped...

Bed Bobbed...

Extra bed pieces from over the years bob jobs...I'll need these to make the bed longer...

There will be TONS more chopping going on, I will do my best to update as much as possible!

jeeper_05 · 09-16-2010, 12:39 AM

Taking shape....

calikingcrawler · 09-16-2010, 12:52 AM

Awesome already.
I hope you work on it all night and I get to see it with the front wheel wells on it in the morning at least.

calikingcrawler · 09-16-2010, 01:00 AM

I just had a thought. Well.... a memory. My dad drew me a picture when I was a kid of a Ford Econoline Truck like this :

Only it had a mid engine in the bed.

Wouldnt be hard to hollow out a 1/10 scale model Hemi and cover the trans and dig in a drop bed.

LIKES2CRAWL · 09-16-2010, 03:11 AM

Looks cool Scott, can't wait to see the progress take shape.

ax10rtrmaster · 09-16-2010, 04:28 AM

this should be awesome. keep it comming

ColquittCustom405 · 09-16-2010, 05:57 AM

Very cool indeed....suscribed.

Cave Dave · 09-16-2010, 07:59 AM

Where's the other one? You are making 2 right,one for you and one for me.

Big Mike · 09-16-2010, 08:43 AM

Damn.

And I'm scared to try a simple dovetail job on the hood/fenders of my Hilux.

You've got skills dude. I'll be watching this...

STANG KILLA SS · 09-16-2010, 08:45 AM

been waiting for this build. cant wait to see that body take shape!
whats your plans for the bed? full drop? judging by the rear shocks im guessing no?

SICK build. really gonna be watching this one.

Axialfan19 · 09-16-2010, 08:46 AM

sence your were putting the disc brakes in for more of a real scaler look, it would be pretty cool if you could put the actual working disc brake kit in that integy offers, be cool to see a crawler with working discbrakes that would rlly give it a true scale feel.

66sprint6 · 09-16-2010, 10:13 AM

Im a BIG fan of the old Ford van/pickups...would love to see this build as it progresses. Best of luck with it and please keep us updated.

Thought about that, but I think a tranny hump, kind of Hummer style hump will suit the build better.

Thanks Eddie, I thought about you when starting this build since you bugged me to start a build for the last Yota, this one should keep you happy as a clam

Thanks, but I really don't.

It really isn't that difficult, just measure 4 times and cut once, take your time. It shows in the end.

Thanks! I am going to do a drop bed, I have plans for those rear shocks, but that will have to be figured out once I get to that step...

I don't think an actual disc brake kit would do any good on an electric car, but I plan to put calipers that are connected to the knuckle so they turn with the steering, but not with the wheel...

I will be sure to keep the posted going as much as possible!

jeeper_05 · 09-16-2010, 12:59 PM

Got some work done while I was at lunch today, gotta slope the hood more to match up with the grill...

Also figured out a lower servo mount for the dig, just flip and add spacers! Driveshafts clear great! Gonna drill the linkage mount lower on the servo horn, and the hurst shifter, shouldn't be much of a tranny hump, haha TRANNY HUMP wow

Those actually work? (they do say "Integy" on them after all)

They can't even seem to get a simple set of shocks right, and they're trying stuff like this?
