first scaler project

[m3kan1k]

aight guys heres my first attempt at a scale rig....jus got finished building the kit .......big thanks to Troy at CAC for the sweet azz rims he gave me in the recent giveaways, these look awesome on the rig! i plan on using longer bolts installed thru the back of the hub and stainless locknuts as lugnuts to give it an even more realistic look.....im also working on using the stock kits center caps to add more realism, as soon as i figure out how to attach them properly. i also plan on using a custom body done by zegers rc graffixx, a pro-line 72 chevy with flames and black metallic base coat. the electronics ill be using are traxxas waterproof items and a 16t double motor with an 8.4v 5000mah pack. this is gonna be built for mud!! anyways heres a few pics!

can i say 2 things 1.9 mud slingers and a droop setup ditch the springs plzplzplzplzplzplzplz lol looks great tho i want it i like the realize on the chassis it looks better then my tcs x trial btw how long did it take to build the kit

[m3kan1k]

it took about 4 hours to build n that was takin my time.....first ever kit i didnt rush thru lol....im really diggin it by the way....about the droop setup i dont really think that would work for my intentions for this rig.....mud and mud and jumps n stuff so a droop setup will prolly break stuff and acheive poor performance, about the mudslingers thats a really good possibility tho.
