that is wicked! that is the 1/8 digger, right? i'd like to see the axle combo you are gonna use. i threw around a monster racer build, and that is what i would like it to look like. PERFECT!!!

@ DOOMDOG666, it's a 1:10 scale chassis.

[ussprinceton2004]

I want to see videos of this in action

[doomdog666]

maybe it's me, but i know that parma makes a gravedigger that is for 1/8 scale trucks, along with a 1/10 scale version. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKCF2&P=7 while that is a 1/10 chassis, i was wondering if that is a 1/8 scale body, which in answering my own question, it most likely is.

[SXV 550]

It is the clear 1:10 body http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXWP53&P=7 i ram realy sure because i have also the 1:8 version.

How do I get one?? BAD A$$

[mattman]

yah do you have a link to the site and how much does it cost?

This is how my Digger project started, with a TLT chassis

Replaced all bolds for metric ones


Have to change the 60 turns for somthing faster, it's way to slow for bashing.




The stock clod rims have a conflict with the servo mounts, so for the pic with 40ers and XL moabs

[SXV 550]

I need some advise about the rims and tires.

I want to order some Imex rims and tires ( see below ) are they in proprion with a 1:10 Clod ?

CLAW DAWG T/MAXX SOFT Item No: IMX7408



1/8 PLUTO'S CHROME RIMS W/14MM ADPT Item No: IMX7074

[doomdog666]

for that body, the stock clod rims and tires are hard to beat for a scale appearance. i would also shorten the rear links to align the rear axle to the body. the 1/10 digger body is just small compared to most linked chassis's.. i questioned the scale of the body you have, and compared to the 40's for comparison, i have no doubt that it is the smaller body. bad ax chassis none the less.

nice chassis

[larry the rcguy]

that frame is out of this world!

You went with the best tube chassis, now all you need to do is shorten your links so the axles sit in the correct positions. You also need to go back to the stock Clod tires for a realistic look. Do those things, and the 1:10th scale body will be fine. The body is very similar in dimensions to ours:



We also make some adapters for the stock Clod wheels that will elimiate your interference issue and keep the replica look. It's hard to beat the stock tires on a basher, especially one that's also along the replica theme.

Brett, what brand "digger" body is that? Is it the Parma PSE?

[CPE MT]

No, it's the now discontinued Proline 50's Panel truck. Looks a ton nice than the Parma version IMO.
