It was made for an Associated rc10, not sure of the wheelbase. I've ordered one from Tower so I'll post when it comes in.

well, that project didn't take nearly as long as i thought:
XC with longer shocks on the rear and a leftover E-Maxx body. now all it needs is a nice fast motor.

That looks good micro.

Didn't Toyofast have that body on his TLT? Try asking him
Does anyone know who owned the tlt based prerunner that Hulk built before 1badjeepbruiser. I'm wanting some body off pics.

1badjeepbruiser is his name on here, he's got AIM, i've been trying to get a body off pic too, that truck is sweet. Here's his picture site..

There are some pretty nice closeups in the rcmtra race photo album.

Thanks, I finally got off my lazy *** a did a search. It's amazing how well it works. This is what I came uo with.
I've got a couple of chassies here that might be cool for something like this...
Here's an Associated tuber built by Roktoy.
Here's my ThunderTech Stampede.
I think the Stampede would be cool, it's already running a Novak 5800 brushless. :mrgreen:

Your already ahead of the game. Post some more pictures of the associated truck when you get a chance.
Looks kinda blah from the top, but a Silverado fits it well.
I picked up a couple of the race line baja 1:18 scale dicast. These are pretty detailed. I'll post some pix later. These would be great to go by.

where did you pick that up at?
ebay, I have seen them at K-Mart and Wal-Mart before too.
I think i know what you are going for. Take Twin axles and narrow them. Have RC4WD make the new dogbones for the narrowed sides. run 2.2's on it, and you could mate a small can brushless (such as the novak) to the axles no prob. the center tranny could even be a pede tranny. I have ran my pede lots with a lehner 4200 and 12 cells. A metal idler is a must, but oherwise they work well on high rpm motors.
TLT axles dont work well with brushless. mine broke a lot when I tried to make the TLT fast. The shafts are turned down where the output rides around (for steering I assume) and they continually break there. Plus the axles cases are an oh so rigid plastic that doesnt get along with crashes well.

I was at Wal-mart this weekend and picked up a DVD "Dust to Glory" It is a documentry on the Baja 1000. Cool video. It made me want to build a rc pre-runner then I saw this thread today. Now what to build???? :roll:

I was thinking about getting that video but seems like it focuses on other stuff besides the trucks is thet true? Does it have some good footage?
