| its so little!! (Tamiya CC-01 / XC)
here is my Tamiya XC chassis w/ a Radioshack Chevy Stepside body on it. Here is a comparrison between stock front suspension and TL-01 rear arms. It adds about 3mm to each side's width, so nearly .5in total over stock. TL-01 rears and C-hubs installed^^ Stock^^ rear 4-link and shock/link mounts- Top shock mounts- and one last running shot- total moddificaion list: TLT shocks all around 4-link rear wider front suspension locked rear diff, very stiff front Soon: body re-painted, and tires cut (every-other lug).

Yea the front is wider than the rear, but thats what I was going for! It just that often on lifted 1:1's that have kept the front indy suspension, they end up making the track a bit wider by using longer suspension arms (among other things). That way they avoid having to lower the front diff assembly and really killing ground clearance. here is a 1:1 article I found on the subject: http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techart..._ifs_lift_kit/ As far as the bodys go, heres my suggestion. Raid the local Wally-World, Toys R Us and simmilar stores for the cheap toy RC's. They are 9/10 times licenced hard bodies, and for the most part, have short wheelbases. This truck has only a 9.5in wheelbase. Heck, even asking your neighbors/friends if their kids have any old RC's or truck they aren't playing with, though you may feel kinda silly... Thats what I did anyhoo, here is what the truck came on: Yes, yes, it was a monster NAPA truck, complete with yellow light up hat on the roof. Though it did have a bit of actual working suspension.... Heck, if all else fails, you could always get a chassis and REALLY extend the wheelbase to fit into one of Prolines new C-10 bodies or something. Not sure on the scale of the tires compared to the body though... demon Last edited by Demon Dag; 10-17-2006 at 11:45 PM. |
