|  WheelChair 2.2
The WheelChair 2.2 * 10.4/1 Scale * 12.5" WB * 5.2" Tall by 3" Wide, 13.5" long * RC10 Stealth Tranny * Custom Maxx/WK axles Until a 2.2 Cutbrake axle can be built * 1/8" solid steel WELDED construction * Brushless SCORPION POWER/3S Lipo/Mamba 25    Ran out of both Mig Wire and 1/8" rod.  This build starts now and WILL be finished before Nationals, Early September. Here is a comparison shot of the size difference between the 2.2 and the super.  I plan on finishing the frame this weekend! Stay Tuned! Last edited by WheelChair; 08-24-2007 at 04:01 AM. |

| Progress!
I had planned on having a lot more finished but life always has to throw something in the way... None the less, I still plan on having the Frame finished by the end of this weekend! I am not done yet tonight, but I thought I would take a break and upload some progress!     |

Since the 2.2 will have cut brakes as well later on, the Patlas Maxx tranny is not needed. I have a pede tranny sitting here that I was thinking of using but its friggin huge!! I might try to trim the case and reinforce it. I might go Rc10 tranny. Evil Ed seems to have good luck with his... Here are the last updates of the night, I'm tired. More tomarrow!

If you can get your hands on a B3-T3/B4-T4 tranny I'd say go for it I've also seen a few run the nitro GT trans with a custom motor plate, not that that would be an issue The newer GT2 tranny has a 4.09/1 gear ratioShorTy |

I like it but i dont get how its scale! i know you have/had a 1:1 that looks like it, but really you are going to compete with it? in the 2.2 class!? owell not thing to say! But it is looking good and the super is total BEEF-CAKE  |

The Super has a wheelbase of Just under 18 inches. Its Scale is 7.25 / 1 17.931" times 7.25 = 130" 130" is the wheelbase I am going for on the Fullsize. Same with the 2.2. Its scale is 10.4 / 1 12.5"WB times 10.4 = 130" A 44" Bogger divided by 10.4 = 4.23" So a moab is a bit tall... at 4.95" But they are almost tall enough to be a 54" Bogger! The only thing that would not workout for Comp use was the width. Scale calls for 2.88" wide. Rules call for 3". So its a touch wider but you can't tell... Why wouldn't I be able to run a comp with it?  Last edited by WheelChair; 08-17-2007 at 01:40 PM. | |

How can it be more scale, it's a very close replica of his actual 1:1 rig?

Interesting build. What's more interesting is the random use of caps. Look forward to seeing at the Nats. |
