1/6 ranger project

[Ranger beater]

Ive been into R/Cs for a while and as of rite now this has been my favorite project. Hope you guys like it.

The cab with hood pins if you can see them

The axles are made with parts from a traxxas emaxx, spools and cv shafts

And the frame i made out of 3/8 square tube

This has been a slow project that i hope to finish, and before i forget i got this truck from a member on scale4x4rc.com

do I see tmaxx parts on there?

 

[Ranger beater]

Tmaxx/Emaxx parts interchange up to a point, but yes.

you might want to use RPM parts in place of the traxxas parts. I can't tell you how many traxxas parts I've shattered from just driving in the yard. That, or go aluminum if you plan to get serious with this thing.

I have rpm steering knuckles for when these give out. As soon as i can get some more parts i plan on working on this beast again.

Where'd you get the body?

 

[Ranger beater]

I think the body came from toys r us, kb toys had a similar version aswell.

how big is 1/6 scale. how many inches is the body?

If it's a Supercab... 33 Inches from front to rear.
If it's a Regular Cab... 31.5 Inches from front to rear.

thats pretty good sized. should make working on it a bit easier and playing with it a heck of a lot more fun.

The only thing i dont like about the size is the power requirments. For now i will be running on a 7.2v 6 cell battery, a single 27 turn motor and a lot of gear reduction. In the future i will run on 3s lipo which is 11 volts and around 4000mah or more, but for now it will still be fun.

Is this going to be lifted or lowered?
I've had mine for about 3 years and only took the body off and laid it on the ground and put some dub city rims from their larger RC excision under it...
Here a pic...

I'd like to build a frame and adjustable
Suspension to look just like my real truck Bu don't know where to start or get the parts to make the parts...lol
Here's my real truck I want to clone

 

[Ranger beater]

Nice truck. This one will be lifted, i plan on working on this beast again soon.
