Newbright Trailcat

[krazykrawler]

Anybody seen this yet. I just bought one at my local Wal-Mart. At 100 bucks each, I could only afford one right now but plan on going back and putting a couple on layaway for "reserve".The real Trailcat is a concept vehicle said to produce 707 hp.!!!The gearheads shoehorned the engine out of the Hellcat in there. Along with subtle body changes...never really been a Jeep guy but who can argue with over 700hp ...http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-cont...03-876x535.jpg

What's the wheelbase on that body?

[krazykrawler]

Roughly 13.5 to 14 inches.Kinda depends on where i want to put my axles at.

That's bad ass! My local Walmart has some sweet RZR looking UTV for only $20. I'm thinking about getting one for my Losi MRC.

I believe this is it: http://www.newbright.com/products/rc-polaris-atv-grey/

Update...got the body separated from the cheesy Newbright running gear.Decided to sacrifice my fully optioned Twin Hammers.It has the discontinued RC4WD aluminum rear axle,Sr. Irie front steering rack as well as the GCM upright shock setup on the front.Going to cut the main frame right behind the trans and build a custom tube frame back half.I plan on doing some wild tubework and custom length links.Gonna run 1.9 Vanquish rims with Prolines XL Boggers .I think its going to be a sick build.Now if only i can get it finished before Crawlapalooza next month

Those are based on the Twin Hammers cloned chassis. I've been waiting for a decent TH roller to come across the classifieds or maybe the k949 TH clone on fleaBay for cheap. Most of the TH parts will swap on the 1/10 chassis clone.

your insanely nice builds and tubework always make me say damn I want that so look forward to what you do with this on the tubework side.

There is a 1/12 and 1/8 version. Not sure why NB does that but you see it a lot in there stuff.

The pic above looks like a 1:1, 1:10, and a 1:12.

[durok]

The smaller scale New Bright is equipped with a camera and "VR goggles"... The 1/8 is not.

Thank you Cmbscx10. Once I figure out how to use Flickr I'll start posting pics of progress. Photobucket got all greedy with their services.

[Killa-Cotton]

Photobucket can line up and start kissing asses. If they want to charge for their service that's understandable but be reasonable. $400 is Not a reasonable price for pic hosting. Also they shouldn't have or even be able to remove existing links to pictures hosted when there service was offered for free. If they want to charge for anything from this point forward then fine but you can't retroactively charge someone for a free service. That's just bad business.

[DukeMinnix]

what section are you going to start the build in? I wanna follow it.

[krazykrawler]

In the 1.9 section. Oops , I almost forgot to move it. Thanks for the reminder

13.4" wb for a 2 door? that is big. makes me wonder if the bronco is the same.

[Killa-Cotton]

I hope not. I'm headed to wally world tonight to see if they have them. I'll post up later.
