|  Thinking about a scale
I am wanting to build a scale of my daily driver.  I am wanting to use this body from parma. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCZ54&P=7 But it looks like it will need a 10.5" wheel base. I am thinking about useing AX10 axle's and either a r2d tans or ax trans. I am haveing a problem trying to figure out what chassis to use or just build my own. I have plenty of 1/8" plate alum. I looked at the X-trail but it has a 11" wheel base. Does anybody have any sugestions. Because I have never built a scale truck and dont really know where to start. Other than the search which I have been and I am still doing their is a lot of info, but I am just looking for a little more. Thanks |

I would use the crawlerstore scale chassis http://www.tcscrawlers.com/MFM-Racin...r-p-16142.html and for tires I would use proline dirt works #1072-00 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...SEARCH=1072-00 Good luck and have fun!!!  |

if the wb is not exactly right you could trim the fenders for the proper wb

i would make the fender openings wider and it would look cool. from the pics those holes are small so some trimed ones would look just right but up to you . also what wheels and tires are you going to run? small or big

I do like that chassis but I think I want to go with the 1.9 tires because they equal to about a 35" tire which is what I have on my 1:1 truck. And as many holes as are in that chassis I should have no problem with the wheel base. I think I am going to go the way of useing a lot of ax10 parts. I already have one scorpion that I have setup for 2.2 comp. Plus I have several extra ax10 parts so it will make the build a little cheaper. Quote:

The X-trail chassis has an adjustable wheelbase. It is easily adjustable from 11"-12.5"
