Questions about Scale

[subcaptian]

So, I'm looking to get into crawling by building my first rig. My question is, how well would the geometry work on an externally scale M1025 HMMVW with a tube frame? I ask this because it would be all independent suspension, no solid axle. Would it be top heavy? Not enough articulation? Any input is welcome.

ahh, the age old debate; solid axle vs indy.

For out right crawling, most prefer solid axle.
If you're thinking trail/KOH/TTC... you could go indy... I like the indy front, solid rear.
They both have their ups and downs lmao:, I crack myself up)!

I'd say your best bet is to spend the next month reading threads so you're more informed. Then you can make a decision... because again, there's benefits and drawbacks to both set ups.

Also, Tamiya makes a independent suspension Hummer:

Check this build out! VERY COOL! I have a indy front solid rear sitting in pieces under my work bench...waiting patiently:twisted:
