Default RaceAce's Scale Rig

Well i figured it was time for me to build my own scale rig.

Back date update





It started as 1/2 X 1/2 square steel tubing that i ripped and tig welded together.

The axles and tranny are axial units.

All the 4 link and panhard bar mounts were made from alluminum.

It's looking real good! Nice work on the scale accessories as well.

Have you had the chance to test it yet? How does it perform?

Target carries a lot of them now. I picked up a Sunday Second Wave yesterday to play with. They are too small for most scalers though, they are about 1/14
