| 1/8 Scale CJ5 "Snail build"
The original build thread is here: 1/8 Cj5 Here is the back story I started building this in '08. I know bad Bart At that time there was little to no interest in scalers in my club and now everyone is building one for the 2012 season. SO, why not dust this off and post it in the board it is supposed to be in. The T/M Force board. Besides, this is where little Bart learned to walk. I don't see this build going fast means I've got 3-4 months of winter ahead but it will be done for the thaw of 2012 So here is the new roller. And this could not have been possible without the fantastic parts from Super Shafty and my buddy Rick I'm leaning towards an Axial trany with a mild Brushless system. It's not heavy so i think a 21.5 SC system, 1400-1700KV unit would work fine. Last edited by Bart bender; 11-28-2011 at 03:00 PM. |

Looks pretty awesome, like everything you put out. So it just needs a tranny, motor and electronics? 3 months?... |

Thanks Farmer, Kyosho brought this rig back from the dead. I like to think they listened to us. Rick makes it easier to make it more bullet proof | ||

Good job! I actually think its a good thing it took 3 years to build, most guys (*cough* AX10 weenies*cough*) would quit. Its a sign of resilience. |

Great looking chassis, body and setup! Really like the sprung axles! What is the WB and track on it as it sits? |

Yep 2.2 wheels. That makes them about 17.5" scale. Perfect for a 1.1 rig running 44" rubber. The WB is 15" (120" 1:1) width front 11 3/4"(94") rear 10 3/4"(86") Thanks guys |
