|  Tubed Tamiya Bronco
The other day I saw Madscrambler's little brute at the UTRCRC Scale Adventure and knew I had to have something that size again. I've always loved driving shorter wheelbase scalers. I think around 10 1/2 to 10 3/4" wheelbase is almost perfect and I've been wanting to build a Tamiya Bronco ever since they came out. So the plan is a gnarly tubed Bronco, kind of like a mini Guido. Here's the plans so far Based off a SCX10 chassis Shorten the Wheelbase to 10 3/4" Shorten chassis to fit Tubed cage and bumpers all out of 1/8" for better scale Metal boatsides and Aluminum top. Tamiya Bronco body, top removed, dove tailed rear, flat gunmetal gray RC4WD 1.9 Rok Lox, Either Black Axial 1.9 beadlocks or white RC4WD Steel wheels Servo winch front for sure, probably rear 35t motor Tekin FX-R Front, rear, and rock lights Hopefully interior but it's going to be tight! I might have to just use the interior out of a Axial TR or something like that. Chassis mounted steering, probably Hand Bros Anyway, onto the progress pics. There's a lot of work to do still but here's yesterday's progress. There's quite a bit of bracing left to do. Also the rear cage and bumper. I was hoping to get a lot more work done today but my wife didn't end up having to work so that's not going to happen any more. After Christmas though I have a couple days to work       |

Looks great so far. Is this the remains of your 2 week old honcho?  |

Looks like a good start I have this body also and plan to put it on one of my scx10's. What did you do to shorten the wheelbase??

Zach you have started like 5 builds in the amount of time that I have taken to order parts for one.  You must have kids mounting wheels and doing all the time consuming stuff. Keep up the good work man.

Once I get going I build very quickly. It's just getting time. I have most of tomorrow to build though, unless my wife get's called off. Today I've been building Legos all day, I wish they were tamiya kits | ||
