Figured I'd start a build thread for this 1:6 scale New Bright Dodge Ram based off my Axial deadbolt. Should be an interesting thread when all is said and done.
The most important part I want to note is that I WILL NOT be making a custom frame. I'll be using links and longer shocks (AX10 Scorpion) to get the wheel base right. It should be a good thread or anyone who wants a bigger RC without having to make a frame and all that noise. "thumbsup"
Axles -
Front 200k oil/Rear 500k oil/Team Associated oil
Front - SSD RC aluminum diamond axle ordered
https://www.amainhobbies.com/ssd-rc-diamond-front-scx10-axle-black-ssd00112/p505921
Rear - stock axle with underdrive (AX30402), will be ordering SSD RC aluminum diamond Axle

Trans - stock with Vader products monkey skid which moves the engine forward. May have to return to stock skid to help with wheelbase.
Steering - SSD CMS ordered - will probably need some modification to work with the 14.5in wheelbase

Suspension - All aluminum links. will be using 106mm along with smaller threaded and non-thread link spacers to get the wheel base correct.
Shocks - Stock AX10 Scorpion with softer springs rear and stiffer front if I remember correctly. I think they are 100mm shocks.
Wheel and tires - 2.2 RC4WD ROKLOX (5.55x1.69) with axial beadlocks which will be replaced with these brodozer wheels :lmao:
Body - 1:6 scale New Bright Dodge Ram "Mud Slinger"
Bumpers - Need a front winch bumper, sliders and wheel wells, rear will stay stock.
Motor is a 35t for now. Might go brushless towards the end of the build.
Pictures of it as a deadbolt for memories...
Let me know what you guys think. Tips and pointers are greatly appreciated!
