Default my new scaler dodge power wagon

well i got the smc chassi and the leaf's just dont look right with my h1 hummer so i went to wall mart and got a dodge 1500 body here is what i got so far test fit


my cat like's it




used magnet's to mount body and added a bed cover




i have also noticed it crawles better than the h1 i think its because the h1 body is heaver than the dodge body i still need to paint it and add the i.d. winch but i must say i love this thing

For which battery? I have the NIMH batt for the Rally/SCT & only get 12-15 minutes if I'm lucky.

i timed mine and ran from 6:48 pm till 7:29 pm and that was the stock micro sct batt if it only lasted 12-15 min i would just use the stock batt because of the longer charger time on the sct

and thanks i took all pics with my iphone

Wow- I've timed mine & 15 min is about the max time running over my rockpile outside w/ the SCT batt. 10 min is the max for the stocker, so between the 2 I get 20-25 minutes or so. WTF am I doing wrong??

You might not be doing anything wrong your rock pile might just put way more load on your truck than what I put on mine in my living room climbing over books and up ramps also if your trucks weigh more than mine or if your tranny is binding at all that could make a difference . Also I always charge my batt for the full 4 hours the instruction said
