Any moa scale setup rigs out there? Moa with cms?

[Crawlin' Lobster]

I've been searching for scale setup rigs that use moa axles but can't really find anything. My truck is a custom 1/8 exceed madtorque that I've tweaked and converted to a scalish 1/10 trail rig. I like the advantages of moa for crawling purposes but also get the appeal of scalers looks.

What I've done so far:

Cut off bottom of the tvp chassis and added frame extentions.
Proline Ford Raptor body.
DIY alum skid, bumpers, sliders, shock towers and rear upper link mount. Steel bottom link/shock mounts.
Shortened wheelbase from 18" to 13.5".
More inset wheels to narrow track width, currently at 9.5".
Tried multiple link setups some allowing more articulation some less. Current setup limited to about 6" max.
Stock electronics mounted between front shock towers. Battery center mounted on skid.
Replaced stock 60t motors and 12t pinions with axial 55t and 16t pinions for a little more speed.
2.2 Rc4wd overdrive with Bfg Krawlers or Proline Epics with Maxxis Trepadors.

As it sits now crawling around with a buddy and his scx10.

Still to come:

Universals and high steer for the front.
Full scale ladder chassis.
Hard body.
Possible cms setup.
Still undecided on single or dual esc's.
Full interior.
And anything else that I think of along the way.


So my question is are there any similar builds out there?
Any thoughts?

I have built a few MOA scalish rigs. 1 was a 1/6th scale CXT tow rig and the other was tube buggy rock racer. The crwler hualer build is on hear some where.... I never did a build thread on the buggy but there are a few pics of it buried in the MSD scale nats fro. 2009 I believe.

Anyway you could post a link to the hauler build? How did the buggy do with moa?

Hotwheels000 I found your thread on past and present rigs on warcrc and damn you've had a lot or trucks!

Link to a MOA (Berg) scaler from Australia. The rig is a scale replica of one of a very successful 1:1 comp rig out here.

That's a sweet rig! Thanks for the link.

I built a large scale out of a mad torque. Been a very tough reliable rig for me.

I saw your build. Nice work. Did you ever try running lower turn motors on the stock esc? How did it work out?

I put bigger pinions in for more wheel speed. That got me "fast enough" which is a brisk walking pace. My son wants me to make it faster though and I've thought about lower turn motors but I haven't gone beyond the thinking about it phase yet.

I've bumped my pinions up to RR 16t hardened steel ones to get a little more speed with axial 55t motors. I was just thinkin a lower turn motor and stock pinion might be a more efficient setup.
