Scorpion MKIV

[Gula]

After receiving a text from the owner of my LHS stating he received one of those quickrun fusion 8ight systems, I got to thinking. What to try it out in first.


I started this build a long, long time ago and had some cut up HB Sedona tires on the 2.2/3.0 wheels. Too ugly, and they got tossed. I also tried the old and beat up nomad db tires, but they just looked too tired. Found some neat tires a while back on aliexpress for cheap, so I ordered a replacement for the other rig, while I glue these on here.

Diff parts, courtesy of OSRC, 2 chassis and a set of slayer arms from an ebay R/C chop shop. 1 inch square tube as a backbone.

I just need to contour this piece for the transmission to drop in.

Done

That's way cool! Any thought to using another front half to give you four wheel steering?

Looks like a Halo inspired rig. Cool project.

great job detailing the body and that chassis looks really low slung should be really stable
the tires look alittle small though

I did yesterday, ya, I had that thought for sure. Then i rememberedr, I no longer have the other ends.

Ok, you've convinced me

A scorpion! This should be good

I had recently purchased the 1/8 scale 2 in 1 or 8ight fusion system I sant to put in here. I'd like to find the LEM leading edge machine diff or trans parts to help take out a little more slop.

I've wanted to make a Scorpion bodied chassis for the longest time, the Gatekeeper was just way too easy on a truck chassis. Super cool and following along...

Exciting to see! You really nailed the design. Mike Seay and I were the originators of the Funrise scale models of the Scorpion. This is a great representation. More pix of my full size at Chandler Technology Corporation.
