Default Losi 1:24 Trail Trekker Project: Grave Digger.

this is my first scale project so please don't heckle me about it.






i am still not done with this yet. i plan to cut out windows and put clear plastic in. i might get a light set for red headlights and flashing cthulhu eyes. i do not have a hobby store here in town so i was thinking of going to the petstore to get siphon tubing so the body attaches better.

thanks a bunch, it was a pain to get the body of the other part of the toy. i had to use a chisel and hammer at one point.

Good job for your first attempt

If you make yourself some links that are a different length , you should be able to get your axles a little better centered in the wheel openings.

Another option is to leave the suspension in place and cut your body right down the center and section a piece out of it to fit your wheelbase better and glue it back together. You might even be able to peel your decal back first and stick it back down after the modification.

Keep up the good work! Welcome to RCC

You simply must extend the wheel base of the chassis for that body, it doesn't look right like that... As an alternative try one of those 1/32nd scale model kits, I think they have a grave digger one... They are the snap-together kind, but a little ca glue might just help reinforce them so they don't come apart... I used a 1/32nd scale USA-1 body on my Redcat Sumo micro crawler, which is similar in size...
