| Thinking about building a 1/6 F150
After looking at some of the amazing rigs on here I have been inspired to start my first large scale rig myself. Also I have recently started my first scale truck with my CC01 and I think I have really been bitten by the crawler bug. Forgive me for a bunch of newbie qustions on this. I am using a newbright 1/6 scale Lightning body and trying my hand at a scratch built chassis So on with the questions. What would be good axles for this build? I want a scale trail rig for this build What would be a good center gearbox for a truck this big? Can I use an Emaxx gearbox? Actually at the moment I have less questions then I thought. I think this is going to be an awesome truck. |

My first build was a Nikko Hilux CC01, I would complete your CC01 build first with a 1/10 body. Then, apply your new skills and knowledge to the 1/6 build. I been thinking about 1/6 Ford also, using the wraith axles will be the way to go.

Yeah your probably right finish the CC01 "Black Dog" first then move on to the large scale rig.

Ok been a while but I think I have found a chassis with drive train for my large scale f150. I have a Tamiya TXT-1 on its way..its missing wheels/tires, electronics, motor plate, and one suspention link. But all the rest of the major components are there plus extras like spare axels. My only question is has anyone built a large scaler out of a TXT-1? I have already compared the wheel base specs and I need to stretch the wheel base 2 inches. I'm thinking new links and revo shafts.
