| Independent Hummer H1
This is going to be a secondary project as time permits. I bought this body not knowing what I was going to do with it but I knew I had to have it. This is what I came up with so far. The body is 6-3/4"x14" 10" wheelbase 1.9 mud slingers 1/16 traxxas slash suspension(will be customized to work) SCX10 chassis SCX10 trans Last edited by Propane; 02-07-2012 at 05:10 PM. |

| I wanted to have independent suspension like the real deal but also wanted a real rail chassis rather than a pan of sorts. I'm going to get creative on this one.

Turned the rear A arms around to move the suspension mounts from behind the axle to in front of the axle. This will allow a coilover shock rather than the F1 style suspension it had. I will need to shave a small part of the lower A arm to eliminate some binding. I will make links to correct all the alignments later.

I am trying to figure out the front steering and suspension. Like the rear I eliminated the F1 suspension for a coilover setup. It uses a multiple-pivot behind the axle steering that I considered reusing. But I also considered flipping the knuckles and making a steering setup in front of the axle. Any input? I'm leaning to leaving the behind the axle steering and keeping the shock mount up in front of the axle. I hope to start on the crossmember sections to tie the diff section into the chassis. |

I was working on the layout and started looking at the traxxas transmission. It can handle running a 12t Titan 550 so it should hold up fine. I'm going to ditch the scx10 transmission and run the traxxas transmission instead. I will adapt it to the scx10 skid or make a new crossmember for it. I also think I figured out my front differential crossmember. For steering I will run dual Hitec 85mg micro servos utilizing the traxxas steering setup. The only downside is to do this I will need to retain a portion of the traxxas pan where the steering servos mount. Not happy about it but until things move forward that's the plan. I hope to make a chassis mount for each servo if possible. I can say for sure, I like how this one is going to turn out. |

Cut the front end of the Traxxas chassis off for my steering mounts. Now I can get my frame rails set and start the front crossmember section.

1/16th slash I-guts are a surprisingly perfect track width. I wonder if you nail this; will it become a new trend? I like it a lot. If I had have known that track width was so great I'm sure something like this might have made it's way into my shop, Best part- it's traxxas, so it will be invincible.
