Yes,
I forgot who though, and it was 1:18!

supercrawlerfreak · 08-03-2006, 12:36 AM

ive seen 1/18 I want to see if anyone has done a 1/6 if not im gunna

I think mudinyeri attempted it and a few others (tube).

Four-linking the rear is cake but good luck with the front. I've tried for hours to get a workable 4-link system for the front axle but failed. With that steering motor there, it's very hard to get the links parrallel and not bind. I ended up four-linking the rear and making new arms to replace the blue ones up front.

I'd use 5/16 brake line. thats what I used, looks better and much stronger!

I had one about 75% done but I just couldn't find a link setup for the front that I was happy with. You can do a search on my user name and find the build post. I'll sell you the chassis and links and rear axle with the link mounts on it if you want.

00TJ-Nice looking Nylint. Can we see a better pic of it?

Rdoactive · 08-03-2006, 02:39 PM

could you post a clearer pic of your steering link. the link that came with my scorpion is of and it makes my front wheels toe in and i think it is causing my steering to keep trying to self correct or straiten up so when the wheels are off the ground i turns from left to right on its own and won't stop. i like you r setup and if you could let me know the materials and process that would help alot.

Could be your steering trim adjuster on the controller that is off? Sometimes when you turn the knob too far, the steering turns in one direction and keeps running. As long as the steering tie rod (steering link) is straight, it can't be off much. Measure the distance from the back of the tires apart from each other and then the front. If the measurements are the same, it's fine.

Someone said the steering rod is basically a clothes hanger.....so you can fab up your own pretty easily. The picture above is using RC turnbuckle rod ends and perhaps threaded rod. You can purchase the turnbuckle rod ends at towerhobbies.com and threaded rod at home depot or online as well.

The steering trim was the first thing i checked. i turned it all the way to both sides then evened it out. That was not the problem. that is a good idea to measure the back and the front i will try that. but also i can visalby see the toe in an the front if i put thr right tire completely strait thr left tire toes enough to be seen without measuring. yeh the front link i just a creap peice of metal and i think i need to replace it. i really like the look and set up on this jeep in the front that is why i would like to know how it was done. or if anyone else has a better set up i am open for all suggestions.
