CaliKing's HUMMER HX CONCEPT

[calikingcrawler]

This thread will be updated with actual build pics and tech, Just waiting on a few parts from VP and the body.
Specs:

Dingo kit,
SCX10 BEADLOCKS,
RR trans gears (stock as of now),
HD stock ratio rear gears,
OD HD front gears (Stock as of now),
Front beef tubes,
VP 8* knuckles and chubs w/ dlux no slop bushings,
Axial CVDs,
Gunnar pins throughout,
FXR,
Tekin 35t,
Hitec 7950 with CC BEC,
RC4WD radio and receiver,
Axial newer servo as winch (until I can afford a high torque one)

And to top it off a 1/10 Maisto Hummer HX concept body

I am kind of at a stand still until the body arrives. I built a home made chassis mounted servo / battery / electronics mount, but wont know if I need to move the servo back until I can sit the body on the chassis.

MORE TO COME

Where did you get the body. And do you know what the wheelbase is. I have an H2 and an H2T. I would love to find an HX body.

[Tremelle]

The body can be found on Amazon.com. The wheelbase of the body is 10.5"

[calikingcrawler]

Exactly. Mine will be pushed out to a little over 11".

[leowrc]

now look at the photos!!

[calikingcrawler]

My wheel base turned out to be just over 10 1/2". I have a ton of pictures on my phone, I'll get them uploaded to the comp and get them here ASAP

on to the serious part,,should be cool

[calikingcrawler]

I started by putting the chassis somewhat together. You all know what that looks like......


But since I already knew what I wanted and what I didn't want to pay for I went ahead and started modding while putting it together.

Started by making a light, simple and sturdy CMS set up.
Stole Bowties electrical mount idea with a twist and the CMS.

[calikingcrawler]

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with these pictures?




Besides that they are sideways.

[calikingcrawler]

And while I wait for people to guess on that photo.



AAAHHHHHHH Nothing like the smell of easy-off in the morning.



Was going to dye them black like I have done on my previous scalers.

[calikingcrawler]

But I got in a hurry and opted to prime them, paint them satin black and satin clear.

Love the look, tho they are a little shiny.


This is the spare.

[calikingcrawler]

Any opinion on plates?

[calikingcrawler]

I'm diggin the CALIKING plate. With a frame of course

[calikingcrawler]

Chassis is a little long for the body.
Thats what she said.

[calikingcrawler]

No big deal tho. Ended up moving the chassis forward about 1/2" and hacking about 1 1/4'' of the rear of the chassis.

Came up with this mount to maintain the stock rear bumper (for now)

[calikingcrawler]

Was able to keep the rear bumper with very little work on the body. I had new links made also (Thanks John aka SNAIL) that push the rear axle out a hair more.


As for the front tho, in order to keep the front bumper from the HX I would have to make a new servo mount. Didnt really want to so I will be using velcro to secure the front of the body.

[calikingcrawler]

I'll make a custom bumper later.

Here it is with the new rear links. Front are gunna be made tomorrow if I can get ahold of John.

This looks really good man. I like where you are taking this.
