XSRCdesign's RC4WD Scaler Build off entry "Silverado Truggy"

[XSRCdesign]

1st OFFICIAL RCC Scaler Build off Sponsored by RC4WD

Turns out I was taking the 1:1 thing way to literal, so after a quick talk with Norm I got it straightened out... ;-)

If you squint real hard this is actually a Chevy, I'm not even sure if its orange. :ror: But it is a huge inspiration to this build.

This build is a throwback to my original silverado chevy, those of you around a while know what I'm talking about.

the OG build for those that are interested, this will NOT be the same truck, amazing what 5 years does for this hobby.

That's bad ass Andy! I should thought mine out a little more......there's some awesome rigs in this build off!

 

[XSRCdesign]

And of course you have to have wheels, so a set of Mayhem 1.9 Monsters will be used

The 1.1 is called strange brew. Its a 3rd gen toyota. My buddy fish owns it. Corey fisher from canada. mog axles ,mid engine 502, rear stear. The orange is a 2006 VW color. Jason wiedhunner is the builder. He also built the Blazer Buggy. I could get you some pics if you want.

Sweet deal, not sure how literal I'm going with this build, but that pic is a good depiction of what I have visioned in my head

 

[Difuser]

Andy love the ideas. I still remember doing team trail with you and Stu in '08 with that truggy and Stu I think was driving the cop Rover

 

[chino63]

I love that truck, great choice.


You need portals.


Get some.

Glad you cleared that up...I was thinking I was losing it. I know a chevy from a toyota. I thought chevy put something out I didn't know about. :lmao:

Awesome rig...good luck

I was joking. The style of this rig is what I'm basing my build on, not an exact replica. No one made a 1:1 silverado like this that I know of, so I'm taking some creative liberties.

Started getting things going tonight.

First I got the part of the cab I am going to need, pissed cause the roof is going to need some work because the glue they used to hold the glass in warped the roof :roll:

got the wheels, tires and axles all together

then started playing with how I might trim the front. un decided if I want to pinch the nose on this one or not, kinda like the cut up look of my inspiration rig.

off to do some thinking before I start hacking...

 

[Rckcrwlr]

I like the look with the grill still intact... "thumbsup"

Im thinking that and a pinch maybe...

I like that you can still tell what it was with the grill for sure

third option also...
