Rs10 F250 Scale Build My rs10 started out as a comp crawler until I met LVSC (Las Vegas Scale Crawlers) which is a group of great guys with scalers. Took my comp rs10 out with them on a few outings and it felt a little unfair to be the only one with a comp crawler making lines that most scalers can't make so I decided to go scale myself. Instead of buying one why not make one?! Also got inspired by Hoosierdaday's Rubicon Scale build. I like my comp crawler, so I tried to make it interchangeable between comp and scale. I can change it in 20 mins between comp and scale. So check it out, let me know what you think!

Using aluminum angle iron. http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...ler/jared3.jpg Using spacers to clear the axle. http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...ler/jared2.jpg Then I had to widen the body mounts for the new F250 body http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...ler/jared1.jpg Then drilled a few more body mount options to lower or to raise the body without drilling new holes in the body itself. Larger holes to lighten it up a bit. http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...ler/jared6.jpg http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...wler/jared.jpg I got a small clip of the scaler. And yeah those tires are stretched!! This is my version of a scaler. Its my first video so don't hate :flipoff: Redcat Rs10 F250 Scaler - YouTube |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build Man that's awesome. My son just bought the F650 body about two hours ago!!!! Now he's chomping at the bit to get started after seeing yours. Nice work!!! |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build Really digging the rig man. I was out to get that same body for mine at the local Hobby Hut, but my little cousin was going to trash his new bright so I took up that one instead.. I'm kind of going for something like that but my own homemade chassis. .. Great job!!!! |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build That looks bas_ss dude!! I saw that video of you and the scale guys, I couldn't figure out where I saw that bug before. I got a kick out of the video, most of them struggled and you walk through some cool lines. |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build Those aluminum angle shock mounts on the axle are VERY nice. Did you use short sections of aluminum tube between the underside of the mount and the connection at the axle? What lenght/size screws did you use?Great work. |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build Nice build, I used the aluminium angle to make my mounts as well. Works great. Awesome Hybrid Scale to Comp! Cool Vid too. Keep up the good work. |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build And that children, is how "the Scamp" came to be.... |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build nice vid Jared! your rig kicks ass! "thumbsup" i wasnt to sure how the extended tires would work... but they seem to do fine, you got through everything yesterday with no problems. I am jealous.. lol now its time for me to start working my RS10. |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build Yea your looks awesome and performed just as well at the comp..! |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build are those 1.9's just stretched to fit your 2.2 rs10 wheels-it looks great that way if so |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build No fair it's still a crawler:flipoff:j/k. This truck actually looks good up close. good job Jared"thumbsup". |

Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build nice rig mate and awesome video too |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build where did you get that body and the frame rails? |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build The F250 body is from Proline and its made for the T-Maxx 3.3. Frame rails are homemade from 1'' x 1/8'' aluminum. |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build You probably could make some money making those things. Also how does your truck hang with axial ones? i am thinking about taking mine down to the hobby store and getting in the rookie comp. |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build where did you get the 1'' x 1/8'' aluminum? hobby store? |
Re: Rs10 F250 Scale Build Awesome Rig Jahred!! |
