|  Unimog Scale Crawler, PinchFlat-nitroRcEd- Unimoger OK, here is my Unimog trials truck scale crawler. Pinch Flat built this originally and it was the 1st one, the one that started it all. Kinda fitting that a unimog guy ended up with it. NitroRcEd bought it from PF and then sold it to me, he has the other one the kaeto built that is green. specs are: Bruder cab, I modded it with a unimog grill, snorkel and diesel stack and visor Custom built chassis 11.5" WB 3" CG 3 link suspension with panhard bar and captured springs 4" alm shocks, only 2 of them geolanders narrowed pede wheels, died black with rckjeep rings pede trans locked with BB high speed motor, not sure, it is a silver can tq-3 radio hitec 645 mg servo 6 cell 3300 batt, mounted in back locked and BB'd TLT axles roll bar custom antenna that's about it, truck crawls amazing after a few minor mods that I made. It is a blast to drive and might actually do ok in a scale comp, you would all be surprised if you saw how well it crawls. pics: flame away      |

| Like the changes you did for the more scale look. What body did the new grill come from? You going to fold the mirrors out anytime soon? Ed |

| Here's his brother - seems to have plenty of flex for me... At least for my inside pile. Lots more can be found here: http://www.nitrorc.com/ed/photos/rc_crawl4.asp Unimoger - what Bruder body did you get that had the additional parts on it? I have the Unimog one but it did not have the stuff like yours. Later, Ed Last edited by NitroRC Ed; 02-14-2006 at 11:06 AM. |

| Unimoger's is the same as Nitrorced's. If you want to go a different route, here's one made from an XC: http://s8.invisionfree.com/Scale_4x4...showtopic=2885 If you want to go a different route that is. |
