Scale Short Courses
 

Anybody build any realistic/scale SC trucks? Looking for inspiration.

I've mounted Axial Yeti cages to some 2WD Slashes, and they turned out looking pretty cool. More like a Class 1 buggy, but I was able to mount the Slash body to that cage and it looked great. Sourcing a Yeti cage would be a waiting game though.

A guy I saw on YouTube (Double Clutch Productions) mounted an Element Gatekeeper cage to an Associated short course chassis, and that looked rad!

I bet you could put just about any 1:10 roll cage onto a short course chassis. Some roll cages it'd be easier to mount a truck body on than others.

Anyway, if you start with getting a cage onto a chassis, you can figure out a body after that.

Does this qualify? :)

Well... this definitely doesn't qualify... but it is a Short Course, and just fun to watch...

If I were to make a Scale Short Course Truck, I would probably start with a UDR or something with a straight rear axle.

I have a couple of SCB's, the Losi and the Associated. They look pretty cool stock. Not exactly sure how true to scale they are but they sure look cool

I just picked up the Pro-Line Toyota Tundra body for my Slash 4x4 Ultimate. I plan on making it as scale as possible and adding lights to it. Hoping to get some paint on it when the humidity drops.

ive got a baja 1000r raptor tribute truck thats pretty scale and runs short course tracks pretty good
its based off of a axial yeti streached about 6 inches i dident really do much to the newbright body other than some trimming and sticker removal and mounting it to the streached yeti

Thundertech racing CORR-2 (PRO-2 truck)

just messaged the guy the other day. he has a few left. i may be picking one up by the end of this week.

Re: Scale Short Courses
 

True 1/10 scale, like a Cen Racing dually? What is it dimensionally? And to think that a friend and I had designed and drawn up a sheet metal chassis for a trophy truck and I shelved the idea, saying it wouldn't sell. Hopefully their program grows in popularity and they are successful with a race series. To get RPM to make your stuff and engineer MIP components shows some level of commitment to their product.

Sweet - those trucks were way cool - ahead of their time imo! CC01 rear axles IIRC

That Yeti based Raptor is Awesome.

Like I said, If you want it to be "scale", start with something that has a straight rear axle.
