Project True scale test rig

[Metal Masher]

I've been wanting to work on this for a long time and reciently got the motovation to start.

The goal is to make an RC car that is as scale as possible, in every aspect, with a super secret body.

This truck will kind of be a rolling test platform for another 2 trucks i will eventually build so to start I'm going to use a Mountaineer chassis I bought new 10 years ago



For the hard chassis fans out there, i'm not going to cut or weld to the frame in any wayI want to preserve it.

To keep the scale appearence i'm sticking with the original axles



One of my pet peeves is the difference in axle width but with the body that's going on it, it won't be that notacible.

I was originally going to use 2.2 tires but after Measuring my 1/18 Nylint tires I realised they were exactly 1/10 scale 35's so to bring the whole shabang down to a respectable level I placed the axles above the springs



Yes the pumkin is on the wrong side but you'll see why later


The tires are just sitting on the bare axles but the proportions are what i was shooting for.

More progress to come
