I have been wanting to build a scale cayenne from day one. Maybe because I'm a little crazy, maybe just because I love Porsche, who knows. I had a Tamiya hummer, and it was fun, but really lacked articulation. I have had a couple 1/16 traxxas rigs, and they are a blast as bashers, but with open differentials and a high center of gravity, they really lack when it comes to crawling. So I decided to get another one and just use the suspension on a ground up build. First I tried locking the differentials. fortunately Traxxas now sells a kit so I didn't have to use puddy or glue. In case anybody was curious how tangled a mini summit can get with the diffs opened up, here you go. It's kind of nice being at a shop I can work in during lunch. Here is the scrap aluminum cut into the basic pieces I will use for my chassis. Suspension mounts rough shaped and test fitting |

Neat idea. I'll be watching this one, I like the Porsche Cayenne body.
