Default scale rc pre-runners

Does anyone have one? I'm thinking of building one similar to the one hulk built awhile back. I want to run brushless for all out speed with a parma toyota body. Post pics here if you have any.

Man I wish I lived closer to you. I would love to build one of these rigs and go out bashing with guys that have similar rigs.

Sounds pretty cool to me - blazing through a scale Baja-type course. Keep us posted if you go for it.

Next to where we are building our house is 300 yards of rutted sandy dirt down a power line. Looks pretty cool for tearing some stuff up.

This is the body I'm 99% sure I'm using.



But, does anyone know much about this one?

That 2nd body you posted is absolutely wild. Awesome find, if you can find one for sale. I wanted to do up a desert truggy using my 1/8th buggy as a base, but the motor took a dump-o so that idea got thrown out because a new motor is $$. Good luck, and keep us informed!@

You heard about that too?

I was going to use this body also. I don't think you can find a better looking prerunner body!

Tower stocks it.

braceysdad,

What chassis and drivetrain do you plan on using? Damn you for bringing up this idea in my head again!

Brushless is electric. What are you talking about?

Badger, I'm not sure. I bought an all alum stampede and a Novak brushless motor. I'ts way fast, for me. That's wher the idea came up. I've been watching some old Score videos and got the bug.

I was thinking something on the lines of a 4WD with a wide trackwidth for stability and a brushless setup for power, a low ride height with some good travel. I wonder if they make 1/8 scale buggies electric?

Would tlt axles hold up for brushless? Also in a speed rig would it be wise to lock front and rear diffs or only rear. A narrowed up 1/8 scale would be bad. I wish I had a junk buggy to play with.

i was surfing and found this.http://home.comcast.net/~milemarkers...-_Netscape.htm
Its a little pricey but it would probably be a good powerfull chassis to go off of if you can find a truck body to fit. here is a link to their homepage as well. http://home.comcast.net/~milemarkers/Products.htm
here is a link also to the thorbob prerunner build listed above. But this one has more pics very cool rig!!http://www.rcjimsplace.com/invision/...showtopic=6968
