|  Semi scale powerwagon This is my current project that was inspired by my visits to RCCrawler. I wanted something that was a capable crawler, but had a nice scale look to it. So I raided the parts box and came out with bent up bruiser frame that got the creative wheels turning. It has standard gear- tlt axles (locked of course) and a pede tranny (locked as well), a narrowed set of hpi split 5 spoke rims and a set of rock rings by Unimoger capped off with a set of moabs. I used all thread to make the 4- links so that I had a 12.5 inch wheel base and thunder tech wideners make it 11 inches wide. Since the photos where taken I've scrapped the upper front 4-link set-up for two reasons 1.under compression the mount came up to high to allow mounting the battery up front 2. way to much axle swing to suit me. I still have a way to go yet, but so far so good.     The mandatory flex shot.  |

| That is a NICE looking rig! Hopefully you'll put a nice detailed paint job on the body to do the rest of the truck justice! |

| IronOX- I remeasured the wheelbase of the chassis and it's 12 1/4 instead of 12.5 inches. I don't know if I'll get to much to the powerwagon for a little while. The motor in my 1:1 jeep decided that it was time to call it quits, so I'll be wrenching on it for awhile. |
