Bronco scaler

[malofish]

I am building a bronco scaler. I have managed to get the trans engine, links, almost everything lined up....I cut the engine bay out and now im planning the servo part of it. From all that i keep reading is that the stock losi servo is junk....Whats a good replacement servo that isnt much bigger that the stock? I plan on making braket that centers the servo right between the bronco frame rails so that i can run the servo low. I do not have access to a camera right now so im sorry that i cant send pics

learn to search! but i use an eflite s75 $14 on amazon when i purchased it.

Ive searched alot, im looking for peoples opinions for my current setup/situation. I really new to rcs and i can honestly say that i dont understand everything and when i usually read up on stuff like that i tend to get lost in all the initials and model numbers. I also usually only find people talking about the best most expensive parts....i just want something good at a fair price.....best of both worlds kinda thing.

[Slambaam]

well the eflite s75 is a pretty darn good servo imho. check them out. alot of people here use them! a fair price as well!

I use the mg90s. Go on eBay and type that in. They are pretty cheap. I buy them four at at a time for $30. They do take a few weeks to show up from China tho.

Some vendors sell in small groups and offer discounts. plus they are so cheap its worth ordering spares and not have to wait 2-4 weeks

[DANALLY]

And when you have as many micro's as i do you tend to go through them. I like having spares around too.

Well guys i ended finding a digital eflight 75 servo thats small, light decently priced at $14.
I also.......
Got some body mounts made
BIC pen driveshaft mod
mini t extended links

Future mods....
Wheels, or some type of wheel widner kit
HR shocks or better shocks
find some thread all that bends so i can make some bent links
ddt 90t motor
Possiblly HR alluminum transcase and x memeber
tires......juat not sure which ones i wanna try....trying to keep scale if possible

[Intashu]

How scale is scale? I got my current truck running Xmod tires which are crazy scale. but lack performance.
another scale option that's smaller than stock is the 1:36 losi desert racer truck tires. they need a few mods to fit but look awesome as a more scale offroad tire. the trekker tires just seem too HUGE for a scale build. xD

[malofish]

I cant figure how to post from my phone?

[Intashu]

smartphone? email it to yourself. or use a usb cable if you can.

Before i had a smartphone I emailed it to myself. or media messaged it to a friend to email it to me.
or steal a friend's phone with a camera...

[malofish]

I have a Galaxy S. Im inbetween homes right now so i dont have access to a computer and my bros laptop just crashed. I kept on refusing the talktappa or what ever it was....j think thats what i need to add pics fron my phone.......unless someone else knows a way to post pics via cellphone???

[hrddrvr]

I use the photobucket app, and post just like I would from a pc.

[malofish]

I built these to run screws thru the interior to keep the frame stiff.
You can also see where i cut doen the brackets.
I still need to build the rear lower links.
Trans flipped.
If you check out the top right of the pic you can see the rear of the "cms" thats drilled for the upper front shocks.
I will post more pics when i get back homw. Im outta town all week for work znd wont see my micro till friday.

[malofish]

my first mistake was ro cut everything......then try and refill...but it worked out. There is a small box in the fllorboards of the drivers seat to cover what cut out...and after trimming everything up i think it all fits real well. The rear seat was "narrowed" to fit between the new wheel well boxes. That will eventually have a cover like a big tool box to hide the esc and battery pack. It will all be done in scale diamond plate.... This IS my first attempt at styrene and scale. Its kinda a cross between my dream 1:1 80's bronco and a scale extream crawler.... Hope you guys enjoy

[malofish]

Whoops in that pic i still hadn't narrowed the rear seat or removed the rear shock hoop. Ill get updated pics on friday/saturday.
