Needed to build a 2.2/C3/TTC rig for our up coming winter series. At least I know I'm pretty safe to start this one while they hash out the new scale rules yet.

So started with an SCX chassis with 12.5" wheel base and a custom painted, whats left of it, Dodge Ramcharger. I've had it for a while now but never set it up like I like, until now.

For now it will run as is until I can get to the tube work, most likely after the first of the year. Lot of project to finish first!

Anywho, I'll run down the parts list now, and what's in store down the road. Also need to give it a memorable name.....you know, like all the cool kids do!

Present State:
- SCX10 chassis
- Axial axles
- Alum C's & Lockouts
- Vanquish Zero ackerman knucks
- R2j Delrin links
- R2j Truss

-Traxxas Big Bores

- Hand Bros CMS
- Hi Tec servo
- Axial trans
- 35t Intejunk
- Sidewinder & BEC
- Spektrum radio gear
- Pro Line TSL's
- Delrin CAC's
- Rogue Elements wheel nuts

To Do List & Wants:
- Back half
- Sliders/Boats sides
- Summit trans(maybe)
- Servo winch
- Bumpers
- CVD's (Super 300's)

And more as I see fit or need.

More to come!

Very cool paint job.

Will there be metal around the fender. How about maybe a front end like Guido

Maybe with some of those little light's

ColquittCustom405 · 12-02-2010, 08:53 AM

Never thought about cutting the fenders like that. Looks sick.

Thanks! The body is pretty much sitting as low as it can without putting the shocks through the hood. I like them to sit as low as I get them.

Thanks Brian! Not sure on what going on there yet, but I don't think I'll tube the fenders at all. I am going to tube what would be the grill area and tie it back into the inner cage and also use that tube work for the front shock mounts. Kinda like how I did Eric's FJ. Also will be truggying the back half.

I agree! There's not going to be a lot of tube on the front at all. Trying to keep it all pretty minimal to save some weight.

Nice comp cut front and rear huh!

And the cutting not even done yet.

Yeah, My 1.9er will have very little tube work done. Wanna keep it under 8lbs.

I may do some of the tube work like that one. There's a few things about it I don't really like and will change to my suiting. It will be very loosely based on it.
