I got my daughter a Falcon Edition G6. She's 6 and calls all scalers "baby jeeps" so I got her one of her own. Now she will stay entertained at G6 events. Here is her build.

Started out stock. Added Motoworxracing wheels to start.

Took the Falcon Tires stickers off. We run PitBull tires. Got some cut Madbeasts with CI foams. Then it was time to change the links and steering.



Got some limiting straps from the RCChick at Axial Fest.

Also got some sweet BPC Chassis components. Sliders and a battery tray.


The pics will improve...sorry.

I got the light buckets mounted. The headlights are super scale. I had to glue the lenses into large axial buckets. Then I had to cut perfect holes for them, because axial paints the body where the headlights go...so you can't mask off the body like you can on the kit. They look better than what I did on the Redcow. I also used radio shack housings for the running lights and tail lights.


I'm keeping the running gear stock...esc, servo, motor. She will run it on 2s lipo. I figure I'll let her run it stock til she breaks something. Scale items and a driver are coming soon.

Here's a few more pics. Vanquish steering and getting the lights started.

Thanks for putting me in check, your dauther has more upgrades then I do... Off the RPP I GO!! I guess your dauther drives very well as my 5 year old would drive the same with or without upgrades. I'm teaching him on a stock rig as they are already great out of the box. If your can drive stock then you drive anything, plus it really makes people mad when a stock rig takes a line that a fully loaded rig can't.

I removed the Falcon decals cuz I knew she would be running PitBull Tires. Hopefully, I can get the Falcons off of the RTR plastic rims, cuz I do like the tires.

Well, I got the lights wired up and installed. I had to alter the Axial simple led set to my liking, but it looks good.



Here's some pics of her Shake down run. I had to replace the servo horn and the rear springs. Other than that it performed really well.





After a few practice runs in the backyard. I took Hadley to our local crawl spot. I took all the flex out of the steering...Vanquish Knucks, chubs, servo horn and steering lineage. Because of this...she destroyed the servo from the RTR kit in about 10 minutes...ha. Time for an upgrade.

I put a Savox steering servo in it. Crawls like a charm. Pics coming.
