|  Weekend Warrior
I scored a cheap New Bright 1/6th scale Ford Raptor for $30 the other day.  I have always wanted one of these big bodies, and figured I would do a scale build. Element Ifs kit is on order, and I plan on picking up a SSD pro 44 rear axle so I have matching gear ratios. I cut some frame rails, giving myself 1/2 an inch on each end extra, so 27" long. Sitting on a 16.5" wheel base and 10.5" wide at the fenders. After tossing the body over the various axles I have I determined Scx10 axles were wide enough with 1/2" wideners and 2.2 wheels.I had a set of Axial Method 2.2" beadlocks. I stretched some 1.9 Pitbull Growlers over the 2.2" beadlocks giving me a 4.75" tall tire in the 5"wheel well openings.  Ride height will be low, I plan on building a truck that looks like a weekend warrior type. https://images.app.goo.gl/mD6cGFiW2nmqFgcd7 Last edited by lonleycreeper; 11-16-2020 at 03:07 PM. |

Dude! This is awesome! I have been looking for the New Bright 1/10ish scale 4 door body for my TRX4. Where did you get this body? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

That body is a almost direct bolt on to the yeti you just need longer links for the rear and a piece of 1/2" L angle up front Can't wait for the run video Last edited by ferp420; 11-16-2020 at 05:45 PM. |

I did throw it over my Losi Baja Rey, and the track width is to wide for what I was going for. I would have to widen the fenders a bit with wider flares and then I would have a hard body version of my Baja Rey... Not ideal imo... Quote:
Not as excited as me! | ||

Nice! I just saw one of those at Walmart to, same price. They are pretty scale bodies, good for some minor bashing. I built one using a slash 2wd.

Agreed, holes for 5mm led's in the headlights and tail lights, can probably stuff some 3mm led's in the markers. The light bar up top could take some 5mm led's as well. Only problem for me is the holes in the back of the cab are kind of large, where the have to plastic bed cage in it. And the windows are black. Quote:
In other news, I stripped the stickers, not vinyl, but paper stickers... peeled right off and left no residue, unlike my Bronco. I also got an axle under my trailer, I think it looks fitting...  | ||

Sweet! Looks 100x better without those crazy stickers Is your trailer made out of some sort of thin wood? Looks like 1/4” wood. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |

That’s pretty much what I did, except I used 1/2” interior plywood. I wanted to use 1/4”, but realistically I’m probably going to make a new one in a month or so lol. Do you have a thread for it? Mine is just a boring box, I now wish I would’ve added some curves to it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |
