I got this on my doorstep today and after a couple of hours it grew into this. basicly all stock. I need to trim the driveshaft so the tire tuck in the wells nicer. and still need to lock the tranny but not sure of which way I like the best. Any thoughts or comments welcome. I am not sure if it's scale enough for the scale section, so mods you can move it. and yes that's another one in the background.

JRmudmanXJ · 07-02-2006, 05:10 AM

dotson · 07-02-2006, 03:07 PM

i ahve a jeep on the desk right now with tires and shocks like that but this ones belt drive and doesnt streer ? u turn in on and point it at the rocks u want it to climb haha i was gonna make a scale crawler out of it but lost intrest lol

trickedoutTLT06 · 07-02-2006, 05:04 PM

i was also going to do that with two that i bought for 5.00 each, but i dont see how u could with belt drive

S10XtremeSR · 07-02-2006, 09:57 PM

yeah those are only good for tires. can't make a crawler out of them If I could I would have about 10 allready.

Trike Kid · 07-02-2006, 10:44 PM

I'm not sure it has enough lift

Nice stuff, I really need to get back on mine now that the servo trans is done.

S10XtremeSR · 07-02-2006, 10:47 PM

I really need to start to find out how to build these things. I want to make another one but have it propotional and have better steering. (i am such a newb)

and as of lift tried to keep it scale. you have to lift the crap out of an s-10 to put good tire's on it.

packdaddy · 07-03-2006, 11:41 AM

anyone have a ssmt for sale or two?

bRIBEGuy · 07-03-2006, 05:29 PM

Looks good, S10XtremeSR.

If you decide you want it to sit lower, cutting the springs works well. I cut about 1/3 out on my Micro-Jeep, and it left a nice stance. As a bonus, if you don't limit the shafts, you can still use the droop to get some wicked articulation.

Are you going to run any kind of links to the back axle for bracing?

packdaddy: if you're seriously interested is a couple SSMT's, PM me. I may be able to get a hold of a couple for you.

S10XtremeSR · 07-03-2006, 10:20 PM

I was thinking about lowering by cutting the springs but not sure yet. As of links I have no LHS around and I mean none so I will have to buy off the net or from people. I am looking for a servo and esc for my next build but I am a newb at this so I am still trying to grasp the lingo.
