Where's the link

 

opps my bad here ya go!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InCdZbj1ThE

 

Very cool. After seeing these trucks, im starting to think I went overboard on the scaleing my crawler. Guess its time to bite the bullet and risk a roll over or a few scratches.  ;D

 

yeah urs looks way scale but u might of over did it just a tad!! i mean whats the use of a cool looking scaler if you dont even want to take it out and scratch it??

 

Mainly its just because I put in alot of money on that build.  Though I think its time to bring it out to stringer gap soon.

 

Nah thats my favorite part of scalers, they are only what you make and want them to be. If you have fun just tooling around in a cool looking truck being mellow thats great. I have some I like to drive that way also. I don't like beating mine up either. Events like these G6 ones are brutal on a truck and favor soft bodied trucks built for reliability over super scale appearance. I was just one of under 10 hard bodies I saw out of the hundreds of trucks entered. There were 3 legs to my class each being between 1-3+ hrs and a couple miles of nasty terrain for you and vehicle to conquer. Ultra class drivers were required to do 2 laps per leg!









One leg required you to float your rig down a river a few hundred feet on a home made raft lol. Here is Frenchblue preparing to launch his southern buggy

 

man u guys have some super cool rigs!! I've gotta work on getting a few! One scaler and One wriath basher type!!

 

Who's orange tube rig is that?  That is very cool.  Is it metal tube?  Is it just a roll cage (cover) or a full tube frame?

 

Its frenchblues semi and southern buggy. Its welded 3/16 tubing.

 

Nice awsome pics. Looks like it was a blast.

 

That's really nice work.  Does it have a pan from another model or are the electronics and battery all mounted to the fabricated tube chassis?

[/quote]Nope its all cusom fabricated. Electronics are hiding all over the place in it. It has a pro4 rspro power combo with a 2spd summit trans. It has a Quicksand winch with a dedicated esc, bec, 6ch reciever, and 3s lipo. There is also a light controller and fullsize shift servo. Steered by a 7950. All very tightly packed

 

That's a lot of stuff packed in there.  I would not have guessed you could fit all that inside that cage.
