Rs10 F250 Scale Build

[Jahred59]

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!

Comp Crawler

Scale Crawler




Started with a frame to mount the shocks more vertical.

Then shock mounts on the axle. Using aluminum angle iron.

Using spacers to clear the axle.

Then I had to widen the body mounts for the new F250 body

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.


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

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!!!

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

And that children, is how "the Scamp" came to be....

[sisterfunk]

nice vid Jared! your rig kicks ass! 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.

[Rivas Concepts]

Yea your looks awesome and performed just as well at the comp..!

[FATBOYrs10]

Yes I did its 3/16 aluminum tube by 1/4 inch lenghts. Fits right in there and used M3 x 15mm screws. You have to drill out the holes for the M3 screws. I used a 7/64 drill bit.

No, there actually 2.2 tires on custom rs10 wheels. I glued 2 wheels together front to back to widen them.

Just found a 1:1 video that resembles my scaler!! I LOVE IT!!

nice rig mate and awesome video too

where did you get that body and the frame rails?

[Jahred59]

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.

[rockslide710]

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.

where did you get the 1'' x 1/8'' aluminum? hobby store?
