i think it would work better for you if you put 1.9's on it just my .02

rockcrawler_101 · 09-30-2007, 04:09 AM

but then it wouldnt be scale to the rig im building it to. The rig that im building it to runs 42 tsl's and the rock lizards are a little under 4 and a half inches so they would be close to 44's which is pretty close to a 42. I migth go with some geolanders later on. I cant make it any shorter of a wheel base so it will be just as long but with smaller tires.

Umm the Scale truck also has the wheels completely under the body...I mean to be true scale you need a custom huge body. I agree 1.9's would make this more realistic.

Great start!! I'll be following this one,

Have you thought about turning radius with the rear axles locked??

Well if he cuts out hs rear fenderwells and extends his bed then the wheels will be under the fenders!..I say stick with 2.2s!!!..Maybe narrowed M2Ks!!..That would look sick!!!...You cant builld a TTC contestant with puny 1.9s

rockcrawler_101 · 09-30-2007, 01:59 PM

well i might buy another dodge body with the regular cab and long bed and cut the bed off and put it on the back on this body, which should put the body length closer to what it should be.

chafee · 09-30-2007, 09:28 PM

any chance of a hard body? that would make me hard

hagass · 10-01-2007, 03:28 AM

Very Kool keep up the good work , i wonder how she will perform ?

rockcrawler_101 · 10-01-2007, 04:51 AM

Cool looking Rig

Want to see more

Rudukai13 · 10-04-2007, 02:37 AM

Looks pretty good but two suggestions:

1. Drop this into the scale forum because it belongs there.

2. Can you just try putting some 1.9s on it to see what it looks like?

rockcrawler_101 · 10-04-2007, 03:29 AM

well got the winch on and all the electrical stuff. Got the suspension to work go enought for the time but i will be getting some softer coils for it. I also ordered another body to make it longer and cover the tires.
