With the shocks fully compressed there is still 1/2" under the belly. Plus we have already established that James will run bigger tires than the G-hawgs that are on it. So ground clearance isn't an issue. I like to cover all bases when I build a chassis. With all the mounting holes there should be plenty of options.

Looks really cool! Definitely will need some all Ts (at least...) I still think some txt axles or something will look best (they have that rock well look), I like all the shock mounting options.

May I make one suggestion?

Maybe braze in a small tray in the rear? so James can add a parma hemi engine and cut the back of the body out

that would really look awesome! also maybe a tray in the middle so he can build a scale a cock pit. Not sure how crazy he is going but I know I would want to do that with such an scale awesome replica chassis

I dont think they make a 1/10 scale model engine.

You can get one of those "monster machine" die cast cars. They're the over-emphasized muscle car models with huge slicks and an even bigger supercharged motor.

James Luce · 02-15-2006, 09:38 AM

i have one of those, but its only the supercharger, and the blower, it dosnt come with the engine block

1BadJeepBruiser · 02-15-2006, 10:20 AM

James Luce · 02-15-2006, 07:00 PM

Thanks for the link, i thnk i might ask him to do it, but the might need the engine first.

Brando has so many treads, he should have his own forum. I might have to move this to the txt fourm, if i trade my TLT axles, and geolander tires for cavatude's txt axles. Actually its a tlt chassis, or it was ment to be

OORRACING · 02-20-2006, 12:45 AM

Those little tires on your Gravedigger truck look funny. If you do get bigger tires and axles it would look really scale to a monster truck ;) Good Job!

alterchristopher · 02-20-2006, 03:46 PM

i just want pics of it crushing cars and doing wheels looks great

James Luce · 02-20-2006, 06:28 PM

Im on vacation now, and i wont get back till the 24th, and then i have to get my grades up, till my mom will give it to me.

James Luce · 02-20-2006, 06:30 PM

Also im looking fo rsome ttwin force axles, so if anyone knows of any for sale let me know. I cant find many on the for sale sectionn, and i made a wanted tread, and no body responds to it

02-20-2006, 07:24 PM

that truck is very cool and what would make it even cooler is some red leds for head lights

James Luce · 02-21-2006, 12:24 PM

I was thinking about doing that.

alterchristopher · 02-21-2006, 12:28 PM

smash cars

and dont forget the bad to the bone sticker

Muddinguy · 02-21-2006, 12:58 PM

Hey monster trucks have small tires at times... but it's usually cause they just came out of the trailer :-P

James Luce · 02-21-2006, 02:02 PM

I have some all-t's, but i want to get something more scale. Those tires arnt going to stay on there. I might get some twin force tires, and wheel, if there any smaller than clod tires.

1BadJeepBruiser · 02-21-2006, 03:18 PM

James for the ultimate monster truck look, get some stock clod rims and some Kyosho USA 1 tires and shave down the lugs with a dremel. Im tell you itll look great!
