This project has been sitting on my shelf for several years now.

It had no hope of ever getting finished...

....until now.

Ripper77 started building a Yota truggy of his own and I couldnt leave him without any competition at our local scale events. I never knew what I wanted for the back of this truck until I saw the awesome tubework that MG200 has been putting out lately.

The K2 chassis was replaced with some SCX rails and the old pede tranny was replaced with an AX10 version.

The truck seemed to run nicely with this setup

The only issue I had was the terrible approach angle....so some larger tires were in order. Add some paint and we are left with it's current state:
(link setup)

I will be running this truck in a G6 style event this weekend with the ETXRCC guys....we'll see how it does!

The yota is looking good bro! I will be rebuilding my yota soon too. I can't wait till this weekend. It is going to be a blast for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Shelby. I am also looking forward to seeing this rig run. See you Saturday brotha!

JeremyH · 05-09-2011, 08:59 AM

Thanks man! Yeah, this weekend should be a blast!

JeremyH · 05-09-2011, 08:11 PM

Put a few scratches on it this afternoon.....this truck is really fun to drive!!

JeremyH · 05-09-2011, 08:15 PM

BTW, I put this truck on the scale.......7.2lbs RTR.

JeremyH · 05-21-2011, 07:20 AM

This truck did really well at the ETXRCC G6 Event last weekend at the Crawler Innovations Compound. The course took most folks more than three hours to finish and I'd say about half the pack that started the course did not finish. Anyway, here are some pics:

JeremyH · 05-21-2011, 07:21 AM

I've also got some new scale goodies that are waiting to be installed!

Dillpickle · 05-21-2011, 07:24 AM

Cool pics, I'm hoping some of the SCRCC guys will start a g6 comp. Also, the truck looks great!

MG200 · 05-21-2011, 07:56 AM

Nice job at the G6! I did the one in Long Beach, WA. Lots of fun

Your truck is looking great to, I love those tires

Nova's Ark · 05-21-2011, 09:03 AM

I love your Toyota Jeremy. Thank you for coming up for the BBQ comp and G6 event. We all had so much fun. I am excited to do it again.

Thanks Eddie! This truck is a blast to drive! Yeah, you just let us know when you recover from the last event and are ready for the next one. You know I'll be there!

Nice little rig you got there, do your boggers work better after you cut them.

Thanks Ricky, and hell yes they do! I also shaved off the rib down the centerline of the tire on the inside.

Stormin2u · 05-21-2011, 06:37 PM

Hey Jeremy, that's a sweet ride it's a total classic.

My cut boggers work pretty good too. I have yet to shave all the internal ribbing, that should help out.

Southern_racer · 05-21-2011, 07:19 PM

Truck looks great, looks to perform very well also.

I just did that rib down the center of the tread....I think with the small cut lugs it helps let the larger lugs fold over a bit.

Thanks! Haha...yeah, that damned east texas rock. My 1:1 jeep had stained tires for years after I moved away from that part of the state.
