Default Project SlowRider - testing my new C2 build

First text run on my new C2 build. SCX10 frame, trans converted to transfer case, fwd mounted motor, Losi comp axles. Enjoy.

Great job on the body! I like the front bumper/winch combo.

Great Video, @1:42 I said 'WOW' out loud.

Is there a build thread for this truck? Would love to see more about it.

I love the Losi axles.

I don't have a build thread, but I plan on posting a "built" thread. After this last comp I am making some changes to the gearing.

Speaking of the gearing, I put together a calculator that helped me to set this truck up. Hopefully it can help others too

Thanks! The body is a newbright I got at RadioShack a ew years back for $10!

The bumper is a custom job I made with brazed brass sheet.

I found the original build thread for this thing, but this is when it had stock internals and high flex suspension.

I'll update the build thread with some of the changes as shown in the video.

I put together a calculator to figure out the drive rations or various gear/trans/axle combinations.
