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

That looks mean. Those XLs look spot on for this. Always refreshing to see something that's not a Jeep in this section. |

I like it... 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 ? 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 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 Last edited by TacoCrawler; 03-07-2015 at 12:35 AM. |

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
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 I find more enjoyment in driving rc's... then the time spent constructing them. But it's not going to build itself Thursday the Wraith arrives. and hopefully I can start soon after. |

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

| 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 !? |

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 Quote:
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. | |
