how should i start building a formula offroad? I have a average joe scx10 honcho and I want to turn it in to a formula offroader, I was looking at the RCP crawlers wrekluse chassis and I though that looked pretty nice if anyone has any ideas how to start building one out of a honcho please let me know, Thank you |

I followed bender in some aspects. The SCX10 is a great platform for a Foff. Especially if you are leaning towards a scaler appearence type build. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/image...subscribed.gif DRV KRAWLER FOFF'en Formula Offroad |

Search around in this section I think at least half the builds are based on your current set up. This is is the simplest format, Its basic bolt on parts, shorter shocks, some paddles, and a fast motor/speed control nothing to it. Or if you have the ability and desire build your own chassis and components, There's no right or wrong."thumbsup" |
Technically all you'd have to do is mount up a set of sand paddles and a fast motor and bam, FOFF. If you want it to perform better though there's a lot more you can do from that point. |
ok thankyou for your help i am going to throw a mamba max 5700 in it with paddles, and i was wondering if i should run paddles all around or something different in the front |

Thats what I'm talkin about, hah. |
You'll need to beef up the drive train to handle the brushless motor power. A slipper clutch will help... although I haven't installed mine yet ;-) |
What exactly is the difference between a crawler and FOFF? Can any crawler be converted? If so, what are the ideal parts to be swapped? Thanks |
For the smaller shocks would you put the GTR 1/16 E-REVO ones on it |

I am running the GTR 1/10 E-Revo ones. Perfect size for this set up. Pssst, don't forget to get softer springs. Look to the Jato. DRV KRAWLER FOFF'en Formula Offroad |
Re: how should i start building a formula offroad? Formula Offroad : paddles, lots of power. As you drive you will find the improvements you want. There is more than one way to build it. Let it evolve (?) Evan |
