Im building a layed out c-10 one for my girlfriend using a rc18mt and stretching it

schuler · 01-25-2011, 03:26 PM

True, with a 1/10 on road car the wheel base should only be between 5 and 10 mm out so i might just take tiny bit out of the tray infront of the back wheels. And because they are 190mm wide and this body is only 165mm wide the wheels will poke out nicely and need huge camber to tuck them neatly in the gaurds.
Cutting the tray might motorvate me to give it a new paint job, somethin real nice

schuler · 01-26-2011, 04:55 AM

Actually how did you stretch the 18mt? That would be easier then cut and shut the body

customforlife · 01-26-2011, 09:37 AM

Very carefully lol......i cut the frame in half then took some kinda thick aluminium plate and bolted it To the cut frame and the body is a 1/10th body for a t/e maxx truck and with the wheels i put on it the whole truck fits in the body and it will have adjustable suspension too i can take pics of it if u wanna see it

schuler · 01-26-2011, 02:12 PM

Yeah man, picture would be great. Sounds pretty good, easier then trying to shorten my body to suit a 1/10 drift car chassis. Cheaper too. I found a brand new hpi 1/18 truck on ebay for $117aus

customforlife · 01-26-2011, 03:37 PM

There's one with the rear suspension done

schuler · 01-26-2011, 05:30 PM

That looks mad, what wheels are they? They look like they ate bigger then 1/10 on road wheels. Mine dont fill the guards of my ford body very well

schuler · 01-27-2011, 01:53 AM

Oh and how did you stretch the drive shaft? Or didnt you keep it AWD?

customforlife · 01-27-2011, 09:04 AM

There the big wheels hpi makes. And i havnt gotten to the drive shaft thing yet lol but it will be awd

schuler · 01-27-2011, 05:15 PM

Oh ok lol. Hopefully ill have a 1/18 beast next week or so and get started.
Ill try and get some brake line and start on the tube chassis for me crawler soon too

schuler · 02-01-2011, 03:02 AM

Bought a 1/18 4wd truck off ebay. Its all ready to run and hopefully wont take too long to get here so i can start the chopping haha

customforlife · 02-01-2011, 01:24 PM

you should post a pic of the 1/18 you got.....so you still going to make a lowrider truck out of it or do the drift thing?

schuler · 02-01-2011, 02:01 PM

Will do, its got lots of alloy on it lol. And im thinking of trying to do both. I might have my hydraulic shock sorted but i still want to have the tryes as close to the gaurds as i can get them when its at driving hight
