|  any scale redcats
Does anyone have a scale rig using the redcat? I'm thinking about it with a tuber but don't know how it'd turn out, I still want it to be able to crawl fairly good. What do you guys think? I've looked in the scale sections and really like them.

The biggest gripe you would hear in the scale section is that a MOA rig isn't "scale" since it doesn't have drive shafts. I agree with this to an extent, but feel like people can run whatever bodies they want. The only issue that arises, especially if you use the stock chassis or a normal comp style chassis, is you have to mount the body so high up to avoid tire rub that it creates a high COG and in my opinion looks silly. That can be remedied by trimming the crap out of the body or running smaller 1.9 wheels and tires.

I figured it wouldn't be cosidered scale with the MOA and that is why I'm not sure about a build like that. I want to do something with the redcat but I'm not sure yet, I really don't like the look of the redcat stock.

looks like Comp trucks from 05-06 only MOA. drop the 2.2's and you'll be able to get more of the look your going for without having to hack the body to shreds.
