| Help! I wanna do a scale build, help me im a n00b :)
Whats up guys? Just went and bought a Redcat RS10 xt crawler because it was cheap and i thought it would be a good buy, i love the look of scale crawlers, but i still want it to be really flexible, so im thinking ill buy a body with the same wheelbase as my truck, 312-317mm (12.2-12.4inches) and figure out how to mount it to the stock chassis? What are your opinions? and also, tires and wheels? I'd like to go with the Super Swamper TSL's (https://www.ckrccrawlers.com/interco...c18adc1ce2fb6a) Do you guys think i should run 1.9" wheels or 2.2"? Im not 100% sure like i said im a noob. my truck is 1/10th scale. Thanks everyone! |

Just do some research here. My OP is this . I see a lot of so-called "scalers" with the front-tire pearched on a beer-can......Not scale............even @ 2.2 not scale, on a tube-crawler, maybe ,but not a hard. Tamiya hard-body Hilux's on 2.2's, again ,not scale. That would be like running a 1:1 with 60's, yes It can be done 1:1, but...... Just depends on what your definition of scale is. Seems the definition of "scale" has run-away these days....... |

i know my screen name is redcatguy but i would drop that rig and run. its not a bad rig to get into the hobby with but they fall apart and the guys on here that run them put a ton of time into them because there still really arent any parts for them. redcat is moa and those really arent scale axles. dont get me wrong man glad you got into the hobby and all but i would personally try to start with a better platform. if i could go back and get a different rig off the start i sure would. but its ur rig if you want to go scale with it do it up. and flex isnt all there is in crawlers i run limiters in most of my rigs now. like i said man do wat you want but i would get a better starting point then a redcat. |

I'b debated this may times. scale craler is just a label stuck on there to deliniate a growning trend of hobbyists who are dedocated tp RC trick made to travel through ":crawling terain" and look like real trucks... I don't think we'll evey agree what the those lines of delinieation but.... lets just hope we get to play with a lot whilst figuring out this great delimma.
