Another 1:6 New Bright Conversion

[jstfish]

A newbie here but I love the scale side. This is my first one.

I completely disassembled the Hummer and after additional measurements and checking, I thought the Summit donar would be a tad short on wheelbase to give me that "scale" look I was after so it was off to the Hobby shop and after some additional dimension checking, I purchased a Traxxas Stampede which has a very small channel type frame which will be easy to modify for different wheelbases. I cut the new Stampede in half and started working on the frame stiffeners and supports for the large Hummer body. By the way the Stampede is very close the the side to side wheelbase of the Hummer.

I stiffened the 6" stretched frame and made the required measurements for the wheelbase with the loaded suspension of the Hummer body. I am working on the body sukpports and should have a test run tomorrow. Attatched are som pics of my progress... see pics at below site.

Well, isn't the Stampede 2wd? other than that, it looks pretty cool. I guess you could make it into more of a Baja type thing.

Because of all the weight in the back of the Hummer including the Video equuipment and the 3s Lipo, I need HD springs. Can someone suggest which ones to purchase ? I puchased the "variety pack" with different color springs but none of the assortment is stiff enough. I am using the stock Stampede shocks.
