I know its hard to make a 2.2 Clod look like a scale crawler, but I'm trying. What do you guys think? I'm thinking about getting a HPI Bronco body for it since it is a little wider. It might help with the scale look I'm going for.

I think your truck looks great. Looks like the old school Monster Trucks from when I was a kid. Good Job your build.

need to shorten w/b a bit

yamaharider308a · 07-14-2006, 07:46 PM

yep shorten the wheelbase and it will look good. how do you liek those tires? im thinking bout gettin some.

BOWTIE · 07-14-2006, 07:47 PM

looks good!
it's funny with 1:1's some people try to extend the wheelbase to improve approach and departure angles. i'd leave it as is.

Crawlsalot · 07-14-2006, 07:54 PM

i would leave the wb but IMO if your goin scale you gotta get rid of the servo sticing out of the front like it is now.

dezfan · 07-14-2006, 07:57 PM

Looks cool to me.

Skyjacker56 · 07-14-2006, 10:54 PM

nice work go get it muddy for a awsome scale look

Yoou need to move your lower steering link up. It's gonna take a beating.

Have you thought about the F-650 body? With the rims set up the way your are that body would cover almost half the tires. Just a thought.

T_Boy · 07-15-2006, 10:51 AM

I too would go with a bigger body. the tires sticking way out look kinda odd.

I think it looks good, but he is right the 650 is a big body that fits the width of the clod axel pretty well. I like mine.

f150dan · 07-15-2006, 04:58 PM

I've been wanting to get that body, but mainly for my Savage. I was thinking about the HPI Bronco body for this truck since its a little wider though.

IronOx · 07-16-2006, 06:06 PM

itd be sweet if someone did a fire truck theme with a f650. just thought bout that due to red one above. nice trucks both of you. ford owns.

peace. BIG JOHN
