Guido was built in 2007 as a Top Truck Challenge scale build and has evolved over the years to perform and look better. Guido finished 3rd place at the Colorado Top Truck Challenge in 2009, finished 3rd in the 2.2 class driving event at the MSD/Tamiya Scale Nationals in 2008, and won the concours award for most realistic build at Scale Nationals in 2007 and 2008. At the 2010 Colorado Scale series first event on 3/28/2010 I ran Guido with the suspension changes and finished 4th after a driveshaft failure on one course. It would have been a 2nd place finish. This is a dual purpose rig designed to merge concourse award scale looks and performance at the highest level possible. If given the chance to compete I will push Guido as hard as necessary to win with no concern for breakage or damage. This is no shelf rig and is 100% built by me so I can fix anything that gets damaged. Upgrades are in progress to make Guido lower, longer, lighter, and stronger in preparation for this event. I appreciate the chance to put on a show for you and hope you vote for Guido. As progress continues on the rebuild I will post more specs and current photos before the voting deadline. Build thread link Chassis/Suspension Chassis: Custom aluminum frame rails with 3/16" brakeline cage Front Axle: Axial, Axial steel locker, stock dogbones (maybe super 300's), Axial aluminum axle C's, Vanquish Products high steer knuckles, custom steel axle truss Front Suspension: Custom parallel 5 link, coil spring design, dual HPI 4" shocks Rear Axle: Axial, Axial steel locker, Axial straight axle shafts, Axial aluminum lockouts, custom steel axle truss Rear Suspension: Custom triangulated 4 link, coil spring design, dual custom Savage shock bodies with 4" shock shafts, link mounted shocks Drivetrain Transmission: Axial, 54/12 32 pitch gears, Hot Racing stainless steel outputs Driveshafts: Traxxas T Maxx driveshafts with steel yoke adapters Wheels: Montana Scale Designs 4-Dyce, TLT backspacing, Taylor Hobby Products Outer rings Tires: RC4WD 2.2 Rok Lox Foams (front): Northwest Tractech reach, extra standard foams on sidewalls Foams (rear): Northwest Tractech reach, extra standard foams on sidewalls Electronics Motor: Holmes Hobbies 10T Cobalt Puller, maybe a HH proto brushless motor ESC: Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR-XL, or Castle Creations Sidewinder if brushless Batteries: Dual Holmes Hobbies PolyRC 25C 2500mAh 7.4V LiPo, batteries can be switched to parallel or series for 14.8V Steering servo: Chassis mounted Hitec HS5955 TG with on the frame steering box.

Looks like I better get into this thing too. My EB was built approximately a year ago for the 2009 Montana Scale Nationals. It has been through many colors and modifications in the last year, and is currently torn down to the frame and being improved for the Scale nationals in May. I competed in the ORCRC TTC and finished in 4th place....3 points off of 1st. This truck is also the current Oregon 2.2 scale class champion and finished 1st in points for the entire 2009 season. I too will pull out all the stops to become the 2010 Montana TTC champion. This truck will be ready, and I would appreciate being able to compete against the top scale trucks in the nation. Specs: Custom tube chassis All steel body panels Built axial axles with super 300 cvds, overdriven front gears, all aluminum upgrades. Axial transmission with custom motor mount 10t Holmes Hobby puller Big D Fabrications transfer case Tekin FXR ESC Futaba 9157 steering servo Hitec 7955 servo winch Thunder Power Pro 1800mah 3-cell lipo Create-a-Crawler EZ lock wheels with Big D Fab aluminum outer rings Custom aluminum disc brake wheel spacers by me RC4WD 2.2 Rok Lox tires 3 watt Cree high intensity headlights More updates as they become available.....

Here it is, in running order. Actually got it running in time for the TTC entry deadline. It's not finished yet, I will be adding LED's, waterproofing, dialing in the suspension and moving things around a bit for better weight distribution. Guaranteed to be an exciting vehicle to watch (if you have'nt seen me drive before).

Wouldn't be a true TTC without at least one Canadian entry This is my TJ lowrider build: TJ low-rider - 2010 Scale Nats Trail rig build . I built this with the intention of being scale, but also with being as tough as possible. I run my trucks hard and put them away wet . So far, this truck has held up to all sorts of abuse from numerous people (including my 6y.o. who drives, well, like a 6y.o.  ). I've already been running it in the mud, water and snow, and that was before waterproofing. For Montana, I'll be bringing along spare everything (axles, electronics, etc.) to prepare for any mayhem .      And to show that I'm not afraid to get it dirty   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbczbHrumt4 Specs: Chassis, body and armour:
Wheels, tires and suspension:
Axles and drivetrain:
Electronics:
Other:
I think that's everything  . As with everyone else, I'll likely be doing modifications to this rig until the last minute.Thanks for your consideration, and hopefully your vote Last edited by ecoli; 05-02-2010 at 04:39 PM. Reason: Updated pics |
