Unimog Scale Crawler, PinchFlat-nitroRcEd- Unimoger

[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 :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff:

Dangit, that is one of my favorite cars. I was hoping to buy it off of him. In the near future if you ever get, umm tired of it? Let me know.

[captconfusion]

Nice truck. How well do those geolanders work?

[Magic]

looks pimp, what mods did you do?

[Fordx4]

that right thurr is very cool

[Unimoger]

looks pimp, what mods did you do?

suspension mods were, new 4" aluminum shocks, 45wt oil, moved the panhard bars up and over for more articulation. Changed out and modded the steering arms for more steer, moved the battery all the way to the back for balance. Wrapped the wire antena around a plastic one and mounted it externallly, mounted the on/off switch also, was lose before, relocated the RX. Mounted a snorkel, a diesel stack and a visor. Also added rock rings and cut a unimog grill out of another truck and fabbed it into this one, also trimmed front fenders for more tire clearance.:mrgreen:

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? :mrgreen:

I bought another bruder body and stole all the good parts from that cab and fabbed them onto mine.

[halfcab]

unimoger, can you send me some close up pics of the 3 link setup, I,m going to do something like that on a bruiser chassis I just got, I'm doing a scale version of my halfcab bronco...............halfcab

[darksyde]

That looks cooler than i expected. Do they make scale portal axles for a true unimog look?

[FrankyRizzo]

That is really nice. I am looking forward to building one this spring.

[NitroRC Ed]

Here's his brother - seems to have plenty of flex for me...:mrgreen: 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

[Madcratebuilder]

Damn you guys, now I have to build one. I think my wife is looking into having me committed:shock: They're coming to take me away:lol::lol::lol:

[microgoat]

Ed, I thought I was the only one who had inside piles :lol:

[Unimoger]

Ed, the cab was from a bruder mercedes benz garbage truck.

[NitroRC Ed]

Ed, I thought I was the only one who had inside piles :lol:

Have to have somewhere to run when it rains and for late night testing.... :mrgreen: Did take my new 1:1 on the outside crawler pile though. Have a couple of pictures on my page of that one.

Unimoger - thanks - will keep an eye out for one of those. Also looking for other scale parts, fuel can, jack, toolbox - that sort of stuff.

Later,
Ed

Thanks

[Crawlerguy851]

Unimoger's is the same as Nitrorced's. If you want to go a different route, here's one made from an XC:

If you want to go a different route that is.

[xtman]

Don't think I will ever sell mine, love it way too much, too much fun to drive.:mrgreen: Just build one.

[Crawlerguy851]

That's kinda what I expected you to say to him.

[NitroRC Ed]

Unimoger just got that one and I think he plans on keeping it....:mrgreen:

I also don't plan on letting mine go either...:mrgreen: Was out running it again since the weather was dry - cold but still dry.

Later,

[Crawlerguy851]

I'm thinking of using an XC for mine, but it won't be as capable. Dang.

[Unimoger]
