Intimiator Silverado Duramax SCX-10 Build

[Cumberlandfarm1]

Hi everyone this is my first build ever! i bought my scx10 off of ebay, and its sort of a fixer upper, it came with a k5 blazer body that someone really hacked up but now ive got a whole new plan for it. Ive mounted a SS Intimidor silverado body on my chassis, made a drop bed for it out of hobby aluminum, bed lined it, and made a set of stacks for it. My intenions for this truck is to be a tow rig, my next weekend project will be making a gooseneck trailer for it. Comments, questions, and input on what i should do to the truck next are greatly appreciated! im just looking for new ideas! I will post pictues following this posts

The SS body is a nice one. Look forward to checking it out when the pics are up.
The gooseneck will be cool, haven't seen many of those

3rd project is to make a Rock Crawler to tow too right?!"thumbsup"

Edit: welcome to the SCX section!

Thanks, and yeah that is my plan! Hopefully ill get a good start on the gooseneck tomorrow, and ive got my eye out for another scx10

what tires/wheels you gonna put on it.

What did you make those stacks with?

 

[Cumberlandfarm1]

Im using the stock scx-10 beadlocks with 1.9 RC4WD outcroppers on the silverado, I love the out croppers because they look like the mud grapplers that I have on my 1/1 Truck, and on my gooseneck im using a set I found on ebay that were off of a cheap rc toy

The stacks are made out of electrical conduit, I beveled them and glued them in. Conduit is way cheaper than the ones for sale on the internet!

I just got done 4 linking the scx10, front and rear, doing a chassis mounted servo, and lowering the body closer to the frame ill post more pics tonight

 

[Cumberlandfarm1]

Heres some pictures ive taken in the last few days of the 4 linked front and rear, chassis mounted servo, and lowered body. Lowering the body makes my gooseneck sag, but my next project will be making a 5th wheel hitch or a gooseneck ball

I like the gooseneck, looks good on the back of the truck, now just need a trail truck strapped to it. Nice looking Silverado too!

Welcome to rccrawler! What are your plans for the rock crawler that's going on the trailer?

 

[bigdogs21ford]

Looks like you need some stiffer springs in the rear. That is an awesome set up. I have been trying to find that silverado for months now that thing looks sweet as a scaler.

Thanks! my plans for a crawler to tow around is another 4 linked scx10, I just bought a clodbuster body with the chevy grill on ebay for a really good price, so right now im in the process of restoring it, The clod body has really taken a beating since 1987 when it was made. but hopefully in the next few months ill have another rig to mess around with. I need to look and see what kind of rear suspension upgrades i can find to beef it up to handle that heavy trailer, i found my intimidator ss body on ebay too they are really hard to get ahold of
