texx that look REAL nice....i would leave the roll bar blue. at first i would of said paint it but it fits... for the interior thats up to you..... i would recomend painting the bed cover maybe a flat tan,it will give it a more real look to it. like stretched leather or vinyl. |

| THANK YOU. TWISTED. I appreciate much. OK…. if I included/understood 1= I keep the blue roll-bar. 2= I painting the back fabric ( tan - flat ) .. QUESTION ######## 1 = To cover the back fabric with true leather, would be a good idea . ### ? 2 = BLACK-CAB should it remain on the frame of my SCORPION with the large tires. or to turn over on its frame to him with its small tires ### ? 3 = the small tires ( mickey thompson ) on the photograph top is good side ### ? THANK ....... |

covering the back with real fabric would be an alternative and totaly up to you. i would just paint it as it already hasa textured look. i like the black cab on the smaller tire truck.looks more scale. i dont understand your 3rd question ... |

| HELLO ....THANK .. TWISTER ... ..After having to finish the body BLACK-CAB, I takes again my SCORPION.. . I had some parts in excess which came from my JEEP and I have to think has to place ROCK- SLIDERS on my SCORPION.. I have to screw them on the frame SCORPION and that seems to me pretty, I have also to sand and painted the axes blue in black. I have also to bore three other holes( 1/8 ) in each rims to let leave the air even more… . Tomorrow, I will inform me with the store of hobby if my parts are available to manufacture my TRACK-BAR.[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG]...[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG]...[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG] The more important modifications will come a little later.....

| HELLO. I have to install (( 4 )) TRACK-BAR on my SCORPION and that functions SUPER good. (( THANK YOU TWISTED )) for this good idea. ############################################## The axes of the crawler are more solid and they do not rub with the tires. My SCORPION still raises the foot of 6 inches. I had my parts with the store of hobby, TOTAL $25.00 Thank you with all for your good councils.[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG]...[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG]...[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG]...[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG]...[IMG]http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/ [/IMG] Gradually the bird makes its nest Last edited by texx; 01-09-2009 at 07:08 PM. |

| TRICKEDOUTNYLINT06.......I am afflicted, I would like me also to find partners, but here in QUEBEC ( QUEBEC CITY )they are very rare, I always only find themselves with my crawler on the rock. Thank you for this thought and good luck in your search for partners. Unless I move in your city :-) :-) Last edited by texx; 10-07-2006 at 08:56 AM. |

PVTJR01550 .. THANK.....THAT GIVEN PLEASURE TO HEAR… this afternoon I did one tests on the rock and its behavior is very good. But I had forgotten my video camera, it will be for another time..... The (( TRACK-BAR )) are very useful, it keeps the stable crawler, I like them, and my tires work well. There will remain to me the POWER STEERING and ELECTRONICS to be changed. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENT. Last edited by texx; 10-07-2006 at 01:43 PM. |
