Rock Crawler
[FONT="]First I want to say thank you guys for letting me run with you this past Saturday at the G6. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Now I have never really been a scaler type of guy so I will be needing some help on this part.
My vehicle is a scale of what I want it to be. Or kinda my version of an east coast rock bouncer. Like most real bouncers, its a mix of several different brands of parts. I think there are 5 in mine. I want to be able to legally run in the scale events you guys put on, in particular that G6 type event Yoda is putting on at the 588 pits in June. I want it to be a legal contender. As a scale bouncer, we don't winch unless we are on our lid. In the real bouncer world when we do flip there are usually many "hands of gods" pushing us back over. But for scale stuff that little strap will work fine.
Scale items may be a bit of a challenge. I can see a fuel cell or propane tank and a fire extinguisher as being the easiest parts to put on it. Some bouncers have winches so I'll see about getting one. Bouncers don't carry spare tires, tool boxes, shovels or any of that. Just the bare essentials. So I need some ideas on 2 other items. No sand ramps or canoes or roof racks.
The interior will also be a major challenge as my motor, trans, esc and battery take up a bunch of room in there. Does it really need an interior? If so I guess I can carve up some cardboard for interior dash and find an action figure or something to stick in there but I will have to cut em up a LOT as in maybe just the head and [/FONT][FONT="][FONT="]shoulders wou[/FONT]ld be left.
It's not waterproofed and I have no plans to do that, I am not a fan of water and mud. I was lucky to have hit the mud hole last Saturday as one of the first as I didn't spin a tire.
Tires, do they have to be scale appearing?
If by chance you haven't seen my vehicle here it is. Its pretty cramped in there. I have 3 sets of tires as it is now. The Sand Paws, Gmade Bighorns, and some cut Ridgelines that come on venom creepers.
