so Ive been bitten by the scale bug and seem to have gone completely mad. the chassis is tig welded 1/4 inch brake line on a scx10. specs: mayhem 7 comp wheels 2.2 hpi rockgrabbers axial axles with overdrive front gears dna dig reversed motor on custom mount hand bros frame mounted steering servo kit losi comp shocks rc4wd key fob remote winch and a seemingly endless list of things left to do. Inspired by the top truck challenge. going to have a multitude of tire setups for the different scale comps coming up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
