My dream RC Car. EPIC Mega MudTruck. How can i build one?

[Jjay]

I have been dreaming of this all this year now.

I really feel stronger and stronger that i need one self.
I must have one before this year end.

Check out this cool BadBoy truck

Is there way to build like second hand Axial or something to similiar like
the one in Video?

Long wheelbase.
Wheelbase: 16.02 inches [407mm] Ground Clearance: 3.54 inches [90mm] Motor: High Torque RS550-S Brushed motor Speed Controller: 40A WP-1040- brushed

120-130mm Shocks and xl 2.2 mudtires would do the ground clearance
i believe.

How can i extend the chassis to about 407mm/16 inches?

CEN Ford F-250 Complete Body Set (Clear) w/Headlight Bracket is 89$

I will use hex extension about 1inch 25mm each side and have the body
high up enough to not need cut alot on the Body.

HW Fusion Pro 2in1 should be strong enough on 3s
40-50kg servo.

Im worried about the huge wheelbase.
Is it possible extend like one old Axial?

Cen 250 is pretty expensive total. New truck from Cen.
Brushless combo, Stronger servo. Big wheels. Total is alot
About 850$ or more.

Old axial about 100$
Electronics with extra receiver to my Dumbo about 200$
Tires maybe 80bucks. I have couple extra new 2.2 bedlocks alu
from Aliexpress already.
Body with paint about 100$

Here we are at 480$.
Shocks 550$
Mods 100$ ? Longer center axles. Universal materials steel to frame.??
650 total maybe. Stronger and better than CEN?

Any good advice or ideas how to make this happen?

Do you have a scx10? All you need is a second chassis to strech yours out to match the wheelbase of the body. A 2nd skid plate would also help

[ferp420]

I have lots of rigs like your talking about
If it were me i would make a chassie go to the hardware store and pick up some square metal tubing if you have the set up to weld otherwise i would look at a trx6 chassie
The traxxasss chassie has a lower center of gravity than the axial chassie to help keep thecwaight low
I would run a wraith 2 speed trans on the skid modified to work as a tcase
A standered 3 gear mounted up front and a outrunner
I would use ryft axles there alot beefier than the 1/10 scale stuff and they will take most of the aduse so you want beefie axles
They sell 220mm driveshafts if your rig needs a longer one you might have to make one the axial wild boars hd are pretty cheap used and you could easily make one work even if you need to buy a spline kit there cheap and reliable shafts just make sure if you do go the wild boar shaft route make sure you get the hd version i wouldent go to long on the shocks your not gona need alot of articulation or wheel traval
So

Wow so easy?
I have two axial II style rigs, same thing, made in china.
One is high quality, better than axial, expensive full metal and carbon
and one decent, parts from axial fits both.

So it is so easy stretch them? Only secon chassis rails? and one extra
skid plate? Do i need longer center axles telescopic ?

I really want do this as soon as possible.
Is there any build treadh or video i can watch how to do this ?
Thank you

Sounds expensive, how much are these parts only you talking about ?

extra skidplate and chassis rails? sounds cheap and easy fix.
No need buy other transmissions or so.

Anyways it would be nice have beefy axles, lover center gravity.
Beefier axles.

Have you any price info what this will be total?
Any part numbers?
iS There any video or build treadh with these things?
Would help me alot.

how do you like yours long wheelbase rigs?
I believe they are bad ass, and great.
They look so good.

Bonus:
Is there any other aftermarket bodies to CEN 407 wheelbase?
Different truck ?
I like that TRX6 body also Mercedes. These are way too expensive anyways.
hOW LONG wheelbase does TRX6 have?

TRX6 is my dream of them all. Sad it is so damn expensive.
800$ with boring brushless combo :(
I have seen that the TRX6 is insane also, very capable.
Many places where TRX4 dont make it, the TRX6 does EASY.
Seen it many times at Youtube. 6x6 is magic.

[Jjay]

this is how cen looks under the body



i believe you will need do the rails like that.

Longer center driveshaft, strong ones
Longer links, or will just dual skidplates make it?
to start with

Anyone know what wheelbase i will have? can i match it to 407mm 16.02 inches ?
TRX6 has 454mm/17.9". wheelbase , and it needs 6wheels, body is made that way.

Cen 250 is the only long 4wheel body ? 400mm+ `?

Large scale custom builds arent cheap but there not over the top ither
Heres a thread on a rig im building right now

Nice builds. So scale with those Bright bodies.

I like to buy one mini welder self to next winter, smal cheap one.
Be able weld self.
The material you use to chassis rails are 4-5 x stronger than the
normal crawlers have.

Nice be able choose size self easy, and have it very strong same time.
Those last life out. Or minium 20years of hard use.

Just buy cheap Bright or other rc car, and custom make them
like you strong with aftermarket axles, otherstuff, and do the chassis self
is nice. And wheelchange, some better shocks, and electronics.
100% True scale look with those bodies.

Do you reinforce these bodies inside with something?
Maybe polyester thin layer or?
Have them last many years even if you roll down from big stones.

Anyways these are used most for trails, so maybe not nessesary ?

I will try custom build one second hand Bright rc toy car or something
similiar next winter. Should be fun, and something special that not
everyone can have.

Are Injora axles decent in Quality? They are cheap i saw today
