Default Scale Clod? Project reaching finish Pictures

I have been working on a more scale truck after building a monster crawler with funtion the most important point and scale the least. This Truck is the reverse with form scale and looks the formost.
A little look!

IMO, it is a little out of preportioned to be scale :? Unless the 1:1 truck would be 13 feet tall

But I like it anyway.

Nice rig!

What tires do you use and do you have a widening kit installed when the fronttires are so narrow?

They look like either AMARK duallies or IMEX duallies. And the front ones are just singled.

The key word is MORE scale . I kind think that rock crawlers look like monster trucks more than anything else. Glad you like it.

Yea, crawlers do look more like monster trucks. But that is what most of them start out as in there stock form so they can's help it.

I am doing some work on a scale crawler myself, as soon as I get it far enough along I will start a thread.

If you get a chance, do you mind measuring the wheelbase on that body? Like from the middle front to the middle rear wheelwell? Thanks!

That is the Proline Dodge Power Wagon body, made to fit the Maxx trucks, but fits most rigs well. I just ordered one for my TLT crawler!
