The Lost UTARD - Pinch's SWSC Class 3 The Big Dummy
Yep you read right The Lost UTARD. As legend goes there have only been known 2 UTARDS in existence. These UTARDs were built my Kaetwo and myself nearly 3 years ago.

But what many people don't know is that there was a third build a little bit after the original UTARDs were built. It was slightly different then the original twins but not much. With very slightly different details and measurements you probably could't tell just by looking. The major difference was I used a full length SCX10 Chassis in stead of the chopped chassis' used on the two originals. I did this to enable a longer wheel base. Then it went into hiding shortly after completion to sit on a shelf for years.
So now the UTARD XL, or The Big Dummy as I call it (named after a land wheelbases bike built by Surly) has found it's way back home and it is time to build it up for real.
Now what to do....
It is at slider stage right now. It is set at JK/Honcho wheelbase (12.3") right now with bone stock axles and trany. I will probably be running Pro-Line Interco TSL SX Super Swamper XL 1.9 tires, so I think with tires on the tall end of the Class 2 limit, 12.3" for the wheelbase will be the shortest I will go. I will have to experiment with the wb a bit though to find my optimal number.
Chassis:
Obviously a Reign Labs UTARD (XL) tube chassis
Motor/esc:
I haven't decided yet.
Wheels:
Currently, Axial 8 hole beadlocks with fubar rings, but who knows.
Axle upgrades:
HD gears and/or overdrive in front (or under drive in rear???)
Aluminum knuckles and C's
Maybe front XR10 steering conversion?
Trans & drivelines:
Robinson spool & MIP drivelines...maybe?
I will have to see how budget goes so all plans may change.
BTW...this will probably be a slow build as a lot of my spare time is going into helping to get the Southwest Scale Championships going.
So here is The Big Dummy as it sits now.
