|  bit by a new bug. .. .the scale bug that is!!!
i am looking to build a "semi" scale rig, not a big rig, but just a rig thats not an "ALL-OUT" scaler, just a rig with a scale chassis and im hopin 2.2s, but i would run 1.9s if need be. my ? is, what is the best start for a scale build, chassis wise? i dont have the connections or tools needed to do a custom chassis, so im stuck buying one thats already made:-(. .. . i plan on using axial axles, and a proline blazer or chevy body of some kind, and tranny is still undecided. .. . thanks for any and all input!!!  |

Unless you already have the axles,I'd say you can't go wrong with the SCX10.

I would go with the Axial SCX 10, even if you just buy the frame kit, it's a NICE frame for a scale build.

SCX10 - readily available all in one box (just about) and probably the most accurate looking scale representation of an actual 1:1 truck frame. Once the stock servo mount posts are removed from the axles, they're not too bad themselves scale-wise... |

SCX10. I don't have one myself but that's a great place to start. |

You can also swap out parts chassi for chassi... I think ive seen the scx10 avail for about 45$ shipped (I think).... from there you can swap out other items tires rims....ect...

ok, so im set on the scx when i am able to get one, now what motor would be a good choice? i will be running either a novak rooster or a sidewinder, but will be stuck with stick packs for a while.. . .. i have heard alot about the holmes hobbies motors, but any others? i wan it to be a litl bit more quick as it will be a bashing rig more than a dedicated crawler. .. .

run a 45 or 35t on a 14t and you will be good i think, plenty of low speed but some good wheel speed still even on stick packs, then if you bump up to 3s you will haul ass.
