|  total newbie needs help.....
ok guys herre it gose i just found out about the rc rock crawling nation you guys have and ive looked at some of the pre-built rc's avalible and none of them look like something id want so heres my question i used to build alot of model cars and stuff and i had an old 68 or 69 c10 body out in the shop that looks like something i would want that has the potential to be B.A so i was wondering if you guys would have an idea of how hard it would be to build a scale crawler out of it. i have plenty of tools at my disposal so thats not really an issue for me. the only things that are an issue is money and inteligence, normally i only work on 1:1 trucks and cars but i saw these lil dudes on xtreme 4x4 and i just had to check them out so any help is greatly welcome here are some pics of the body:   |

Well I would imagine you want to build a scaler. If so then you need to figure out the scale of the body you have then buy a crawler that is close in scale to put it on. I assume your body is 1/25 scale or close. Losi is coming out with a a 1/24 scale crawler that would be almost perfect for the body you have.

Here is where you need to start looking for how to's and info on scale rigs. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/#scale-rigs-general-tech Almost all of the guys on here are really helpful and will try to point you in the right direction. What are you looking to make from that body? A scale version of a 1:1 you have, or just a rig you would like to own? Or are you thinking a full blown comp rig with a bad a$$ Chevy on it for a lid? |
