Rock Force Goes 2.2 JK Scaler

[sally1800]

Well after trying and trying to get this Rock Force to a comp rig. I have found it just doesn't cut the cheese.

So here it is the good thing is I got to use almost the hole Rock Force to build this.

First there is a custom steel chassis that Josh HotRod Build's
Custom Four Link mount from HiloDB1 Aloha Bud Thanks
Custom Motor Mount that I had the Maintenance Guy @ Work Cut out
Custom Links that are 4mm thread rod with 1/4 Delrin drilled and slid over these links are the only way to go SUPER STRONG from Xirtic (Josh)

Stock Shocks Rear limit about 3/8
Pro-Line Epic with Losi Claws
Tekin RS 21.5 combo
True RC 2100 3s Lipo
Hitec HS 5645 Servo
Casle Creation Bec


Here it is set to 13.25



These are the links we built


Now the JK is a roller



Got all the goodies tuck in a nice




Now for what we all have been waiting for.




Here the flex shot

It is cool that you got to make a lot more progress on it on Saturday....it look very nice. Hopefully you found those pins that you were looking for.

Yes this rig handle very nice as a scaler. I allways felt it drove as a scaler with that stiff chassis.

More to come.

Yes it is a Rock Force and a lesson learned. It's not what it is. It's what you do with it that really matters.


A lesson is a structured period of time where learning is intended to occur.

We all have learn that MOA's is the only way to go

You have come a long way on being able to pull off these projects Brian

Looks like you are able get these built without too much hassle.

The one thing about a RF scaler is that I like to be able to drive my scalers for hours at a time. You are going to need deep cycle Optima to be able to run that thing for that long

It's really hard to cut up this body. It just looks to good. I still need to put on the fenders and rockers

How can I get in touch with the builder of the chassis and links?

[Jcplante]

This thread is really old. You prob won't get a response from the op. But a chassis and links like this are easy to build. The links were just 8-32 all thread and the chassis can be cut out on a band saw or get some square tubing and bend it in a vice. Then drill holes where you need them and cut it down the middle. Now you have 2 identical bent and drilled frame rails
