Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Wow, that looks nasty! "thumbsup" Very cool blacked out like that. I'd love to see a video of it running.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

That looks mean. Those XLs look spot on for this.

Always refreshing to see something that's not a Jeep in this section.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

I like it... "thumbsup"
the blacked out theme looks swell.
^ but for how long ? Lol

Will we be seeing brite yeller
when ya scratch 'er up a 'lil bit ? http://www.websmileys.com/sm/evil/teu17.gif oops


I have two complete original 1/6 scale Nylints
and they still run as good as new.
One is a scorpion another is the jeep.
plus I have an extra new jeep body.

Sadly they sit around collecting dust :cry:

I have thought about making a custom chassis
to fit those bodies... (I just might run them if I did)
tho' that fantasy is probably why they're still collecting dust. :doh:

I would have to do more then just think about it... eh
How 'bout I send you two 1/6 scale nylint's...
and you convert them and send them back ! ? Lol/jk

^ or sell them, then share the profit with me :mrgreen:

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

I have been looking for a jeep body to throw on it sometimes but can't find one. The yellow shows up under the paint sometimes but it's an easy touchup with flat black. The next thing I want to donit make a better chassis and links.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Finally got a jeep body! I had to lift it a little to fit.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

ya better tie down that keg!

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Been itching to build a 1/6 scale Nylint bodied rc for awhile now.

So I purchased a Wraith kit
with no intention of building it as a wraith.
Instead I want to fabricate a scale(ish) chassis
run the wraith drive train/axles...
and use either/or the 1/6 Scorpion and Jeep Nylint bodies

Yeah I'll still have two fully operational Nylint chassis's
doing nothing but collecting dust.
maybe 'dem ebay peeps will want them ? Lol

Really like that scorpion blacked out look.
plastic dip work ?

I could alternatively abuse the unpainted Jeep body :razz:

I find more enjoyment in driving rc's...
then the time spent constructing them.
But it's not going to build itself :cry:

Thursday the Wraith arrives.
and hopefully I can start soon after.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

I vote for the Jeep so i can "help" you throw away the Scorpion.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Lol... I never throw anything away.

I must have the RC hoarder illness !?
But the junk is not waist deep yet...
so I must be ok !?

you'll have to buy my scorpion body
if you want me to be rid of it :flipoff:

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

I agree with TacoCrawler. I very rarely get rid of anything. Mounds of rc parts in just about every room in my house. :twisted:

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Should we laugh, cry or just feel sorry for you !? Lol

Like termite mounds ? :shock:

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Here's some pictures of my initial mock up
of mating the Nylint Jeep body to a Wraith drive train/suspension.

still planning and ordering assembly parts.
But will start my own write-up/thread whence I get going.

I'll use Revo rod ends and make my own links...
I will be using WB8 drive shafts which will be extended using the double female ends (cut to length)
along with a centered floating spline shaft. (aka: similar to the Deadbolt)

at least... that's what I aim to attempt !? ;-)

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

Looks great so far. "thumbsup"

I would extend the front axle farther forward and widen up the width a little. Just my .02.

Once i find axles for mock up i am thinking of using Yeti XL driveshaft in my build. Initial measurements it is pretty close. Closer than modifying a MIP or stock shaft.

Re: My 1/6 scorpion
 

I may go with wider (maybe taller) tires later on...
but these will suffice for mock up and prep.

The front axle will get pushed slightly forward...
but not too far.

I actually like that the tires don't stick out too much.
as I'm trying to maintain a stock look.

If I wanted the tires sticking out way past the fenders/body...
I'd just convert it back to the Wraith chassis.

But I don't really like/want that...
or I'd have built the Wraith as it should be and called it a day.

I'm not building a monster jeep.

All 3. :lmao::lmao:"thumbsup"
