| Kinda-Scaler Redux
Been a LOOOOONNNGGG time since I've been on RCC. Getting ready to move and was cleaning out my RC room selling off stuff on eBay left and right. Next thing ya know, I got the itch again. Sooo after selling off $1,280 worth of parts, I am repurchasing some. I bought this rig from Dez back in like 2006. While I love the idea of a scaler, I want something that can crawl damn good too. So here's what I have. It uses locked TLT axles with aluminum knuckles, Integy Matrix Pro Lathe Motor 35T, Stampede tranny geared super low -Stripped down and repainted the entire chassis -Used steel links covered with hollow graphite to be slippery -Created my own pivoting shock extensions so the truck sits low but has more dropdown flex -Had a custom steel bumper made for it which puts some good weight up front -Switched to Interco Iroks on aluminum beadlocks -Front wheels are weighted -Foams are cut short so tire will flex a lot but not bottom out -All stainless bolts -blah blah blah Still lots to do like paint the front bumper, better steering servo, winch, finish the lighting, etc. Anyway, it's more like a crawler disguised as a scaler. Love seeing a tire flex for some reason! lol Last edited by zBigBadWolf; 12-08-2016 at 10:34 AM. |
