Southern Builds flavor in a scale looking competition truck. The goal is to build a scale, competitive, fun to crawl truck with some of the best looking scale components we can get our hands on.
All the welding, bending, grinding, and swearing is done at Southern Builds Fabrication "thumbsup"
We are aiming for a 12 3/8 -12.5" wheelbase.
The chosen scale components at the moment are as follows:
The power will come from a Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Expert 13T @ 6deg of timing fed by a 2200 3S through a FX-R.
The steering duties will be carried out by a Savox 1230SG regulated by a Castle BEC @ 6V
Feel free to share your opinion on this build. All criticism is welcome!
On to the pics

The whole build started over arguing of doing rails out of flat stock, but once Don convinced me to do a Ladder Style chassis rails the details are starting to come in naturally.
Here's the transfer case mounted



Yes that's a cross member that will be bolted on 8)

Next will be the motor mounts 8)


Ideas keep floating around for the rear cage part. Any suggestions?
