719 Scale RC 4x4 Thread/Trail Runs/Rigs etc..

[Crawlorado719]

Alright,
The scale scene has been growing pretty fast in the SoCo Crawlers club, so I figured it's about time to make a branch of SoCo Crawlers for scale rigs and GTG's. This is not a separated group from them just a few guys that like to play with the realistic side of this hobby. It's kinda hard for class 1 rig to follow a Wraith's line. This is geared for guys that want to take it slow and easy. One's who like to watch/navigate their small tired, non articulating, top heavy, accessories falling off after every bump rig down a trail that's within the realm of the rigs capabilities. It get's really slow when we get "geeky" and pull the GoPro's out also.
We'll still run with the SoCo Crawlers a few times a month...it's just getting harder to please the "scale" guys and "crawler" guys in the same run...especially for how big the club has gotten over the past few months. So it's probably best we split up a little so we don't piss off any hiker/bikers with 20+ rigs on the trail.


So if this sounds like "fun" to you then post up and make yourself known...yes you lurker!

So let's see some Colorado scale love!"thumbsup"

Well dont have my scaler built yet, but i do have the definition of a scale 1.9 crawler. No 2.2 with wraith shocks on an scx frame monster trucking about bashing around. Cause lets be honest. 2.2s on an scx is like guys with hondas. Nobody likes them.

Still tryin to figure out a good place for the spare.

Honestly Donnie I like the way it looks right behind the cab.

Some safari shit lol

 

[Tater0108]

Lol hey its just a option. Could be interesting.

 

[Crawlorado719]

Flat bed then tie downs. ..?

 

[donnielovett]

Im thinking some what along the lines of this. (A very rough draft)

 

[Crawlorado719]

I like where your going with that..diamond or wood or ?

Dang it I got to get going on the hitch for the Sawback...needs more leafs in the rear also lol.

The new fords comin along better than expected. Still getting the tweaks worked out, and waiting waiting on hobby town to get their sh** together with the paint deal. She needs a name though. Any ideas?

Rock stroker...you want me to airbrush it?

 

[donnielovett]

I think a cms would really clean it up

 

[Crawlorado719]

I like how the bed/cage turned out along with the fairlead setup and cb antennas...Nice and clean...now all she needs is some color. If you go the cms route I recommend the Hand Bros cms kit..$.02

 

[donnielovett]

Making a cleaner draft and figure out what lines to take, still gotta figure out the back corners and the sides all the way to the top bars, then a final draft and figure materials and mounting options!

 

[donnielovett]

Oooo or maybe like this?

 

[JOHNSON!]

Either this way or right behind the cab, both look scale from all the yota rigs i've seen on the trails over the the years. I like right behind the cab, and the truck will preform the best with it right there.

Only 38 for a high on Sunday. As long as there is no wind and a little sun I'm good. How about the rest of you?

 

[donnielovett]

Depends on my schedule
