|  1/18 or 1/20 scaler?
Hey guys, I was cleaning some stuff out of storage and ran across a couple busted up 1/18 scale models..... I have some good parts but no ideas.. any suggestions? Tuber maybe? based off of Micro losi axles? Turbo Honda VTECH with full exhaust and tranny Radiator with fans Brake master cylinder shifter and e-brake manual tranny pedal setup (3 pedals) Reclining racing seats Dash and steering wheel out of a S2000 Nos tank    |

| the RC4wd micro TRex axles are about the same width as losi micro axles. for bodies that fit the width of the losi micro/rc4wd axles best I would look at 1/24 or 1/25 for larger vehicles and full sized trucks like F-150s rams,ect or 1/20 for compact trucks and SUVS like the S10,ranger,hilux ect there are a few 1/18 wranglers that are close but you need to make spacers for the wheels |

I dont think Im gonna go with a typical scaler ( already built a 1/20 TJ ) I think this time Im gonna try a Tuber... I am leaning towards the Losi axles because I have them. BUT.... I am workin on something special! If it turns out I will post it in another thread later  |

Ive seen your micro and 1/10 and think they are awesome. Im curious to see what you come up with. BTW in your build thread didnt you say the TJ was closer to 1/18? I remember seeing you had to space out the wheels to get the right width. |

It was actually 1/20... I thought it was 1/18. The spacers were easy compared to building smaller axles.... current cunnundrum.

You should do a tuber with that 4cyl mounted behind one of the seats. maybe use it to hide the real motor and trans.I have a 1/18 hot wheels civic ricer i wanted to use for that same reason something like the picture. its just a 4cyl 2.4 from a dodge caravan/PT/SRT with a neon transmission as the transfer case with a welded diff. the trans output that would normally drive the wheels drive the front and rear axle  |
