1/10 Scale VX RC-Crawler

[Ldub]

I was wondering about the paint job choices... hmm... SCALES!

la-lA-La-LA-La-lA-la-la...

I did some clean up to the body & added some set screws for effect:


Then I carved in the seam for the grille for some more realism (I think I did pretty good, especially for my first attempt at that kind of thing.):


I cut the links down 22mm each to get my 9.2" wheelbase on this old chassis I had sitting around. I then drilled in new upper shock mount holes to match. That tire was an old experiment - 2.2" tire cut down to fit on a 1.9" rim. Outer diameter comes out to 3.7", down from 4.3":


I bottomed out the suspension to locate the body using these temp tires:


I still need to cut down the driveshafts:


I had to expand the wheel wells, front & rear:


Here it is bottomed out for body mount mock up (Lego's help!):


I ordered some cool tires &... a working scale Warn winch! Stay tuned...
