how about 1/5 scale?

[nitrosport]

I bought a used exceed max stone 1/8 moa for $80.
Add a redcat 1/5 body and body posts $100
A rc4wd outcry duel motor esc $65
Custom chassis...
Metal geared servos $30
and some misc parts...
and you get this, a 30'' long semi-scale rig. Not as much flex as stock, but plenty of flex for good offroading:

thanx, glad you liked it
this is one of those custom rigs I regret selling.
I hope to build a bigger one some day. the exceed max torque is a good sized truck, but the max stone 1/8 is larger with much bigger tires. Might do one based on that some day.
