only things I am going to change are the chassis and bumpers. Going to add sliders and tube fenders.

Here is the chassis with the trans mounted and the rear axel mounted.

This mockup isn't quite right the fenders of be a little lower even with the fenders on the stock body.

Re: Rebuild plasti king.
 

Cut the fenders off the body, and added a support bar to the fender.

Re: Rebuild plasti king. Now the meatal king.
 

Working on getting this chassis worked out and found a good use for my swiss cheese frame. The wheelbase is exactly 12".

What do you guys think, going semi scale but preformance oriented?

How heavy is this beast so far?

Any idea on what will power this rig? Brushless?

Re: Rebuild plasti king.
 

I wish I could go brushless, no work = no new power system. Rooster crawler 55 turn and 8nimh cells.
Dont know the weight but as it sits now it is no heaver than the plastic chassis.

Mock up of electronics placement.

good work keep it up!!!!!!"thumbsup"

Re: Rebuild plasti king.
 

Sweet build, it's like the egg McMuffin of budget builds, "I'm lovin' it!" Keep the pics coming. Your rebuild is inspiring me.

I was thinkin' I'd take a page from your play book and rebuild my crawler chassis with some plastic and go for the scale look. What did you use on yours? I'm thinking tight budget + the WalMart = cutting board.

Your thoughts...

Re: Rebuild plasti king.
 

You nailed it walmart cutting board 8x11 I think is only $4 make sure you get the thick one (about 1/4" inch thick). Wood screws held it together.

Ask if you have any questions.

Got the rear fenders bent up
