1/6 Avalanche "GET LIFTED"
 
Finally got this somewhat finished. Of course with a scaler your never quite done, there is always something you can add to it. Anyways here it is...I call it "GET LIFTED"
Specs:
ESC: EVX 14.4v
Motors: Twin Titans
Driveshafts: Revo's
Axles: Wheely Kings (thanks to Indy)
Wheels: Axial chrome 2.2 beadlocks
Tires: Imex Rubicons

Plan to put a more realistic engine in it but just painted this one up for now.

looks like any other SUV out there that is lifted... rollerskate... no offence but it looks like you could see it driving down the road, thats what acale is i guess, nice job, way to keep it very simple, lol.

weres your yukon at ?

E-Maxx King 01-23-2008 06:56 PM

Looks good. Wheels look a little small tho. Also you should try opening the rear wheel well a tiny bit.

Hey Prophecy.., I'm glad to see that your actually using that Avalanche body..!!! It looks much better on your chassis, then it did sitting on my shelf collecting dust..!!! LOL..!!! It looks good dude.., Its coming along sweet.. A set of RC4WD 2.2" Rock Crushers might look way cool under there too..!!!! "thumbsup""thumbsup"

"Looks like any other SUV out there that is lifted...rollerskate... "... DUDE- Who the hell are YOU to talk..?? Your Jeep looks MORE like a rollerskate than his Avalanche..!!!!!!!! In scale terms, a Chevy Avalanche is almost TWICE as long as a TJ, therefore the wheel/tire combo he's using isn't totally out of the question on a real 1:1 rig.. How many 1:1 TJ's have YOU seen running around on wheels that stick out as far as yours do..?...NONE..., Oh, and BTW.., Do you know what the K.I.S.S. theory is..???
:lol::flipoff:

Gula 01-23-2008 08:55 PM

Keep it down kids:roll: Looks good"thumbsup"

2kwk4u 01-23-2008 10:06 PM

Looks Goog"thumbsup"

Prophecy 01-24-2008 01:24 PM

Thanks guys, yeah i will be throwin different wheels under there when i go get a set. I just had these lying around not being used so i just put em on. Still have tweakin to do and changing some stuff around (with a scaler theres always things to change..lol).

microgoat 01-24-2008 08:51 PM

Do you have upper links, or is it some kind of 2-link deal?

Either way the geometry could use some attention. The look isn't bad, but I bet it doesn't drive all that great.

Prophecy 01-24-2008 09:11 PM

actually it drives fine. its two links since i have the shocks mounted straight up and down. havent had it outside yet to fully test it tho so ill get back to ya on that one!

chino63 01-24-2008 10:33 PM

That thing would be sick on 1.9's.

YoUnG_vErSiOn 01-24-2008 10:55 PM

if i wer you i would shorten the rear links and make a carrier bearing for the rear.......that way you wont taco the rear links when you approach something, or land straight down on the back tires.....just my spare change."thumbsup"

first off im not trying to make fun of anybody or anything so i dont know why you are making fun of me... i dont really care anyway, my "jeep" wasnt built as a scale rig, i have a tube chassis and got the body from a friend for free, cut the bottom of the jeep out and set it on there, and yeah i have seen some jeeps and other rigs that look like that... you ever see a toyota on 54" boggers? well i have and thats what it looks like, so sorry that ur in a bad mood but im not making fun, i accually gave him a comment "looks like you could see it driving down the street"

Whatever dude.., you just came off as sarcastic to me, thats all..Sorry if I reacted the way i did...
:flipoff: Anyways- YES, I've seen Yotas on 54" tires,, and you know what, they look stupid as hell .....a mini truck like that, on those monster tires, looks like a rollerskate, not his Avalanche.... as he said, he just threw those tires on for now, he's gettin others...


And..... I think the "K.I.S.S." thing was explained in the above posts.... :roll::lol::roll::lol:

fullwidthtoy 01-25-2008 07:19 PM

YES it does look like a roller skate. lmao, oh man, srry but thats funny and you know it. ;-)
