Indys c1

Looks good Adam. One thing I like about that body, is it looks like the wheel wells have plenty of clearance for the 4.19’s. It’s just got good proportions in general [emoji1303]

Thanks tom! Its such a good lookin body. The front axles is a bit forward but not to noticable. For the ride height, it has good bit of flex, right at 3 1/2 inches.
 
Boy she’s coming together now! The cargo lipo stash is a cool idea. I think the front axle position is just about right. The opening is centered. Leave it. Rock on

Thanks travis! With the bumper mounted, the tires look more forward bias. But they dont rub much, so im goina leave it be.

The batt box i really wanted to hinge the top, but just wasnt goina be enuf meat on both sides of the hinge. But thats ok, the bungee makes it look like its strapped down. Goina get on the electronics he in a bit n try to knock them out today
 
Have any front end pic’s of thing?

Not yet, ive got the drivers door glued, lettin it dry now. Ill get some pics of it posted a bit later.

Ive been workin on the juice tupes this mornin. Got the powerhouse mounted in there, its rather tight but it fits. Used a piece of thick lexan from the PL PW body i had to make a base plate for it. Cut it a bit long to mount the rx right out front of the esc. Worked out better than i expected, less wires to have to tuck in here n there. Debatin whether to cut the power switch off n wire it straight, or leave it n find a spot to tuck it away where i can reach it. Guess i could turn it on n then tuck it in somewhere.

All the rx wiring tucks nicely behind the grille, including the locked up light controller. I made a short extension batt connector with 2 jst plugs, 1 for the HH shv500v3 n one for a servo winch at some point. It all hides under the interior pretty good. Gotta hand it to these 'scale' builders, theres not much room to tuck stuff away.

Once han n chewy show up to the party, ill get them strapped in for a joy ride. Cant wait to take this thing out for its first run. Lookin at it with most of the weight on it, im glad i stuck with the stock PL foams in the km3s. They have just enuf squat to look realistic.

Heres wat ive got done this mornin...

Thanks brian, much appreciated! Im really likin the looks of this body the more i stare at it. I got word that the drivers finally arrived from their long journey from NC. Hopefully tonite or tomorrow afternoon theyll get to check out their new ride. Its gettin close to give this ol girl a shakedown run before scale nats. Its snuck up on us pretty quick too
 
The boys made it in yesterday, got some rest last night, n checked out their new rig this mornin. I think they really like it, they jumped right in. If we dont get anymore rain, may let them take a ride around the yard tomorrow afternoon. They caught wind of scale nats n cant wait to go.

Well, got a few minutes of run time in this mornin. Im happy with where this rig is. I did have to change a few things in the esc, but that was easy enuf.

Heres a short vid of it. Dont mind the yard, i didnt get around to mowin yesterday. Theres part of my course im workin on in this vid as well. Im goina redo the bottom section of the waterfall section, its to steep to crawl up

Nice vid! It looks good out in the dirt!"thumbsup"

Ha! You say don't mind the yard cause you haven't mowed yet!:ror: Normally I wouldn't say this, but I'm dying to get out and mow grass!:lmao: It's been a long cold winter and I'm ready for green grass!

Thanks brian! I love how this one handles. This is the first 'scale' built rig ive done. Shes a heavy one, but drives smooth. I need to redo the rocks so theyre atleast climbable lol.

I love to mow, thats me time. Ive only mowed once so far this yr. I dont like to let it get as tall as it is, it looks awful lol
 
Thetruck done better than i expected on the rocks. But i had a mishap lol. I was pullin a good sidehill n it tipped a bit much n rolled before i could catch it. Knocked the end out of the batt box n one of the shock tower crates came loose, but thats an easy fix. Ill try n get vids up on yt so i can post them here
