NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

Alright guys lets end this long winter that weve had with a little something fun!
Ive wanted to build one of these for a while and i have a xtra scx laying around so i figured it was time.
I was talking to chad and hes been talking bout building one of these too so i figured how fun would it be to have a little build off!

Heres wut we will be building

Really the only rules unless somebody else has any thoughts would be you have to use the rjspeed body and 1.9 tires nothing too big tamiya size is what we were thinkin.
Heres the body

Then we can just set a date when the trucks have to be done and have them voted on here. Then we can set a date to run them at one of our local ice rinks.
Then for summer we can run them and have hill climbs, mud racing, sand drags.

WHOS IN?

Im in! just need to score me a good chassis to start with"thumbsup"

Jus take that xtra square tubing that you bought for the brute heat it and bend it to the shape you want and split it in two ta da chassis!

Thats prolly what i will end up doing if i remember the rj body is pretty short and i dont want to cut up the scx that i got.

Bodies were ordered today, as soon as they show I'm done (other than the cage).:flipoff:

Woo hoo looks like it will be me Chad and Sam! Oh well i guess let the games begin!

Got my body last nite started some mock up. Today i bent up a few bars for the roll cage and started studding the tires. Hopefully i can get the roof cut off and get the body mounted to the chassis.

Found this from back in the day i think we should do this again. and if not on ice jus use the stock tamiya tires on a cement floor.

Any takers?

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

ill give it a try

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

would be fun, and in the summer throw some paddles on them and do hill climbs?

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

looks like fun and jon your drag car doesn't count

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

Same thing i was thinkin kasey.

Whats everyone thinkin for rules?

open class
or more of a spec class tamiya silver can motors

I think both would be fun. either way i think we should make the tamiya tires a must.

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

where do i get tamy tires, i have a bunch of stock mrc tires to put holes in haha, spec class first run wild next run?

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

spec for the winter open for the summer? silver cans dont have alot of get up and go do they?

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

Looks like it could be fun...
Does it have to be solid axle???

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

put a wanted ad on rcc im sure theres plenty of people that have them


yeah depending on where we get to run them you might not need much hp.
silver cans arent too bad for power and they are very efficiant.

I like the idea of converting them to foff trucks for summer or sand rails and have sand drags or sud runs mud runs whatever

no i dont think that matters. but i think it should be built off of a frame rail or tube chassis but thats jus me

Re: NDRCRC Buildoff idea
 

Jus looked rpp has the rj speed rockers on sale for 17 dollars
and the tamiya tires are 20 for four tires
Jus sayin
