Small update, some pics from last weeks start. I do have to say that I really love working with the Chromoly over solid. However, I did use some solid rod for the sider/boatsides, but the rest will be tube and a few pieces of 1/8" here and there for gussets and the window center down bars.

thats a sick start. i know you'll keep up the good work

Been following that YJ Truggy build on Pirate for what seems like years. Truly a one of a kind rig, and it looks like your 1/10 will be as well.

Moar updates please!

I got an email from Pitbull Tire Corp. confirming the pre-order of the new 1.9 tires. They will be mounted on these:

Should be pretty damn close to the 1:1.....Sweeeet!

It would really be sweet if you could get a passenger and driver axle housing machined.....Actually I guess with serious skills you could build your own passenger housing, and have one machined up for the drivers side. Use a second rcv by the "pumpkin". Making a scale TTB front end.

That was one of the big things about the 1:1. Strong-basically D60 independent front suspension, for the go fast sections, and still able to crawl over the slower stuff

Should be a fun build to watch, just like the 1:1 was.

Yeah, what that guy said...any plans for a scale Twin Traction Beam set up?

As of now the plan is to make it more of a Class2 rig by sticking with the Losi axles and trans. But as for the rest of the build, I'm staying as close to the 1:1 as possible. The tube work on the 1:1 is very unique! I've spent/spend a lot of time studying pictures and find something new each time. It's simple and intricate at the same time.

I do really dig the front axle though and have spun various ideas around in my head on how I could replicate it. I'll save that for a another day.

I had no idea this rig was in the 2011 KOH, I found the build thread after seeing a pic of it in CRAWL magazine. It's awesome, the 1:1 shocks even look just like the prolines power strokes. I love the boat sides, the low stance, and I'm a sucker for orange and black.

I'm sure you'll do this rig justice, so far looking good

I want one for myself

scx10basher · 07-27-2011, 07:54 PM

Oso787 · 07-27-2011, 11:34 PM

Bulldog · 08-07-2011, 10:36 PM

Thanks Oso! I haven't seen any homegrown pics of the 1.9s yet. Can't wait to see them mounted up on the rig.

R2j · 08-10-2011, 10:24 PM

Those are going to look bad ass on this!........

Stretched the rear links out about 3/8"......looks much better!

Looking to have it done and on the way home this week.

Not too much more to do!

Oso787 · 08-11-2011, 03:22 PM

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

run2jeepn · 08-11-2011, 04:59 PM

Very nice... Liking the Doors.

Bulldog · 08-11-2011, 11:43 PM

Looking really sharp. The doors look great and the Iroks look killer to me, but I definitely want to see those pit bulls.
