|  My creeper scaler
This was my first attempt at a scaler and I'm pretty happy with the outcome it is built on a scx10 frame using the creeper axles, trans, driveshafts and links and shocks, I just had to drill a few holes to mount everything to the chasis and it all bolted together pretty easily and it works well. The shocks are set up in full droop but the springs are a little stiff other than that it's pretty good but let me know what you guys think    |

It's a hpi wrangler savage body and it crawls ok but I need weight in the wheels to make it perform like I want and maybe some softer springs

Made a few changes the 1.9s looked cool and were more to scale but no weight and they were glued to the rim made them lack performance so I got bored put the external springs back on the shocks to raise ride heigth and poked my 2.2 rovers and my creeper wheels on there and it performs so much better plus it looks completely bad arse so I will keep them till I get the new creeper in then I'll put the ridgelines on it since they look a little more scale and will tuck in the fender better considering they're about 1 inch shorter

I'll get some up tonight maybe, I still need to strip the red off of everything and I got the new creeper so I'm gonna mount up the ridgelines on the new wheels and weight them I think they'll look better cuz there a little smaller but we will see soon I'm waiting on my flm lockers for the new creeper and I have a feeling the front diff is about to explode in the scaler so I'll have spares ready From the new kit when it does

Looks cool as hell man! I like it a lot better with 2.2's. You plan on more scale features, lights, roof rack, etc.?!

Couldn't get pics yesterday I'll get them today but the body mounts are very simple and it's just a stock scx10 chasis, I don't know if i will add more scale features I want to find a high lift jack and a few other things for it but we will see
