My Daily Driver / Beater Rig

[Rocksolo]

My new favorite rig aka Daily Driver
I just scored this rig from LEROY (thanks man) and I am stoked! I have changed a few things already.

I added a 645mg servo and arm, tiny spectrum RX(thanks J), and lowered the body about 3/8". I also made a custom electronics mount for my battery/Goat ESC & RX and front body mounts. Similar to the one it came with just smaller and lower.

present parts list.........

X-Trail chassis
100mm shocks
Traxxas turnbuckle lower/upper links
custom rear body mounts
custom rear aluminum bumper
HPI from bumper
**********4/40 screws:-(everywhere***** I have already started to swap them out for metric ones.
Proline 8 shooters with Flat Irons
MIP drive shafts
Losi tranny (locked) gone*
*added Axial tranny
Axial axles

upgrades to come.... like my 3 racing winch and other scale details.

thanks,
I always tell my wife that I have to get one whenever I see one driving down the road, I know what you mean.

well, I have one just 1/10 the size


I got this 3Racing winch in a trade, the wires were broken off the switch board so I had to doctor it up a bit but I got it working. This weekends procjt is to get it on the C10

[Rocksolo]

had some time to kill so I made a little winch mount, I still have to install the wire harness and program my radio but I have the winch mounted in place.
next I think I may throw in some head/tail lights.

Everyone should have a beater rig that they can run hard and look good doing it. I love that shot of her sitting in the water . Have fun with it!

thanks, I like this rig too....at first the bright orange had me thinking twice but once I hit the woods it was on
It is pretty pepy with the goat/18.5T BL ...for the life of me I will never understand the idea of a BL ESC that can only handle a 2 cell lipo. but its fun nonetheless.....
I am working on water proofing it...the water kicks ass.
Had I known a scale rig was this much fun I wouldnt have built 4 comp rigs before my first scaler

[Rocksolo]

got my winch working last night so of coarse I had to try it first thing this morning. look carefully you can see my winch line. Both rigs are on the same radio so I had to place the toyota by hand but the C10 pulled and clawed its way up with the help of the winch

That rig looks like alot of fun I can see why it is a favorite. It looks tough in the last pictures

Your trackwidth looks great with that body, which axles are you running? I strained my eyeballs trying to I.D. them.

thanks, I needed it to look sorta tough, since my hilux looks so tiny with the 1.9s

sorry for the phone came pics but I cant afford to get into another hobby

I moved my servo up out of sight after I waterproofed it with Phil's grease and silicone.

I get some bump steer but its a scaler.... still quite capable and I love not seeing a servo or the chassis below the body line
