|  wannabe scaler
Here's the first pics of my almost-a-scaler blazer build. rooster crawler with a 55t angled links rc4wd 4:1 reduction 12t pinion droop front and rear I made the canback from stainless found at the hardware store and stitched up the canvas from scratch. the red body still needs some love, but its mostly done. comments welcome!        |

Hey thats nice, only thing of course is the height. The paint on the bodies are nice. Since its droop I say you can drop the Body height like a half inch. Barely above the tires. Also if you will a little fender trimming will give you a little more room. OR smaller rims/tires.

its good now. it took quite a bit of trial and error with the lower links to get it the way I wanted it. I ended up cutting the internal springs in half, putting half above the piston in the front shocks, and half above and below the piston in the rear.... if that makes any sense. it works very well, I need to get some rc4wd aluminum shocks eventually, but for now the stockers will have to do.
