I went with my friends to do some scale crawlin today. This is first time we have been out in a while. Sure had a good time. I thought I would post up a couple of pictures of todays outing. But now all I need is to get that same little video recorder that Skidplate used.

I hope you like the pictures.

This is what it looks like after the snow if you don't have wheel wells. I am going to be working on them soon

Looks good buddy, the snow can be pretty entertaining. about time you make some chains and get started on the tube work.

70duncan · 01-09-2010, 07:23 PM

Snow chains, That is what I need to make next. Thanks Ty

.

The snow was a blast with my Cobalt 7t, 20t pinion, and 3s. But more speed would of been even more fun

.

I am getting a start on the rest of the tube work this comming week. I plan on keeping the rock sliders very simple, just a single tube tucked into the body and making the rear almost like the front.

Unless someone has a better idea for the rock sliders?

after seeing all the scratches in my paint with it sitting on your hood,

I think I'm going to repaint it. You were right, our camera's do take good pic's.

Sweet, looks like fun. I need to waterproof my scale rig so I can play in the snow and the water.

70duncan · 01-10-2010, 05:15 PM

I have desided that the water thing sure is hard on parts. But is very fun. I think my new favorite is the SNOW. I am headed to Hobby Lobby tomarrow to get some chain

. They were closed today when I got back into town :?.

Go to Lowes, get 16 or 18 guage JACK CHAIN, prob only have 16(but 18g is a little more scale). Very easy to work with, cheap (.49c ft) you'll need around 16-18 ft. Make a jig to lay it out and build it. Let me know if need help. Bunch of us here have them

, they work!!!!

My electronics box is a poject box for Radio shack

. If you click on the "SCX-10 Mega Cab" in my signature, it will take you to my build. I have some picturs in there, but I am not sure about the box. I will send you a pict tomarrow that shows it better.

I added those pictures to my build thread

. Let me know if you have any questions.

70duncan · 01-15-2010, 04:09 PM

First of I want to thank TURTLE and CATO.

Ty, the chains make the snow waaaaaay more fun.

Caton, thanks for the help on the size

We went out again yesterday when I got off of work, to check out this months scale event sight. I havn't been there in a few months, so we thought we would go see how much snow was in the way. It looks like I will need to go out and just help it out a little in a few places, but a am planning on using most of the snow

.

I didn't get very many pictures, my phone was starting to run low on batteries. So I realy only got pictures of area with no snow. I was bumbed that I didn't get any good roost pictures with my new chains

.

rtousley · 01-17-2010, 06:06 PM

that was a lot of fun

i found some 1 x 6 by the way

gdhknives · 01-17-2010, 10:31 PM
