Jeremy's Sporty

[JeremyH]

As you said above that you did built this truck, so can you like to tell me that how can you built it? It is looking very cool and interesting, I also want to built but I have no more information about it.

I'm a little unsure as to what your asking. The chassis comes with instructions...

From your question, and only 8 posts, I assume maybe you're new at this and unfamiliar with the basics.

You start with an Axial AX10 Scorpion which was sold as a ready to run crawler, and upgrade it with a Gatekeeper GC-3a chassis per their instructions.

And then all the other little upgrades Jeremy has described. Does that answer your question?

Holy jeeez Jeremy I finally caught up on your sporty video. That flip at 2:24 through the gate....unbelievable! How light is that thing?!

Might want to add that the AX-10 Scorpion is no longer available for purchase NEW...you can however find them for sale in the classifieds here on RCC or other outlets such as eBay

I cant remember.....not that light. Probably 4lb 12oz or so....

I've been getting this truck ready for nationals.

It got some new CreeperBob Ti rear axle shafts and a Highland Aluminum rear locker (I drilled an access hole in the rear housing to check the set screw) and a new body....they other one was almost broken in half. :lol: I shaved off 1.4oz from the rear with this new setup. The CreeperBob axles only weigh 14g for the set! :shock:

Anyway, pics:

That particular color is my favorite I have always loved the deep yellow. The first truck I owned I had painted Caterpillar yellow (like the tractors)

Close, those are actually 30" tires the 23 is because it had a 2.3L I4
