The Crawl Space
RCC Addict
Been wanting to build a truck like this ever since I started in this addiction, er... I mean hobby, lol.
Started off with a sweet custom chassis from MG200 (top notch chassis work) Told him what I wanted and boom, its done
Scored these cut n shut Pitbulls, stuffed with some custom dual stage foams from Crawler Innovations and mounted them on a standard Axial 1.9 beadlock wheels with some rings from MTHead and lots of screws.
Decided to go hardcore with the axles with a set of VP SCX10 axles with the Wraith knuckle steering mod for some crazy steering and Wraith lockouts on the rear to keep the axles the same width. Axial over/under gears front and rear and a little ARB bling from RC4WD.
This is from another build I did, but you will get the idea. For the panhard set-up on the front axle I used a Wraith racing ackerman steering arm and bolted it to the 4-link truss on the axle, simple clean and easy.
Here the truck sits mock up with the 1.9 cut n shuts.
and some old school pitbull 2.2s when its time for a TTC
Set-up some 3.5" traxxas big bores and short springs and get the links and
suspension together. Poseur flex shot, check.
Cut a delrin mounting plate and slammed all the running gear into it late one night to give it quick run. The Pro4 was plenty of power to chirp the tires and the dig worked as smooth as possible. I'm very happy with how these tires hook up
Got most of the electronics buttoned up in a project box and dipped the ESC in plasti-dip.
Started with on the hard part, all the body panels. I was originally going to use styrene, but I found a sheet of super thin delrin and got to work. About an hour later I had the back bed area together.
Hopefully today I will have the motor cover built, inner fender wells and start work on paint for the cab.
Thanks for looking
