my losi MRC stretched to 12.5 wheelbase scaler

[ped453]

well it started of as a 1.9 comp crawler, but I got bored, because we don't run a 1.9 comp class in our comps so I figure why not just turn her into a scaler, so here it is

first the chassis, I bought a 1/2" square tubing at our local hardware and heated and bend, at this time I had no idea what body I would use, now I realized it's best to have the body for fitting.





here is tipsy as I call here before I hacked her all up, and here's the chassis comparison.





sorry guys, this might be the quickest build thread yet for I am not good with camera and also a computer dummy.

on the next pick I went and build myself a wheelbase jig that I can use for other scaler projects.



here it is for now...thanks for looking
