those scalers are sweet, just too expensive for my taste, i could almost put brand new tires on my b2 for what some of them cost. hope he washed it after driving it in the saltwater

That was actually decent camera work.

The Hi-Lux is a cool chassis, but lacks a lot of performance and durability. The Axial SCX10 chassis is just as scale but more durable and a lot more driveable. I've got one that is all waterproofed and it's incredible to drive around.

The SCX-10 TR with the body of your choice ( I got the gray Bronco/Landrover one with headlights) and a Traxxas XL-5 waterproof controller is the way to go. The stock motor controller has a horrible power curve to it, it's impossible to control when crawling. I moved my battery to the front (instructions and parts included in kit) and I love the setup. My next mods are swamper bogger replica tires and I bought a lightbar, leds, wiring, and some scale accessories like a hi-lift jack. I just haven't put any of that on yet. The other thing I did was relocate the factory light wiring, body lift, and add a bunch of pre-load to the front suspension.

I'll get pictures up tomorrow when the light is good.

heres a couple of mine..

jeep is a full custom build with way to many hrs into it.. the toyota, same but more money than time..

Nice rigs RUTH! I love that 'yota. The chassis looks suspiciously familiar, too! Are you not running springs or are they inside the shock body?

RUTH · Aug 1, 2010

Yeah that was a trial period, had the springs inside...but kno0w ive reworked it, got them back outside.

Ranger Kip · Aug 23, 2010

I was gonna start on building one today, just need to find some old hangers and some solder to make a cage to construct it onto. Gonna use cardboard, glue, clay, and wire.

Only thing is, what do I want to make? I was thinking a ranger, I got the reference in my back yard, haha, but how should I make it? bed and cab seperate? or 1 piece?
