any r/c truck builders/bashers?

[envious8420]

i like to build scale r/c's.
this one is sixth scale.
i ve been working on this one for about a year or so.
chassis and cage are all steel

wow, 1/6 is pretty big. looks like it must be electric? where did you get your axles? i have an rc10gt (nitro) that i beat around in the back yard. i'm too abusive to build something as nice as yours

I love to build and race Nitro RC trucks and cars, I do all the custom work myself including the powder coating. here are a "few" of them. www.dskellogg.com/nitrorc.html I have probably a dozen or so that I have done, I do custom work for others too, and ALOT of powder coating for others.

The tires look like they're off a Nylint (the ones sold at Walmart for a while). I had a 1/18 scale one, saw a 1/6 once but never looked at it too close, so I don't know if it is one or not. It looks a lot more heavy duty than one though.

Looks great to me. If it weren't got the grass that first pic would have almost looked like a full size (or oversized, which ever you prefer) Jeep. Building R/C planes would have been my choice, but never could justify spending the money on it. I knew I'd be spending a lot learning how to land the things, and that it wouldn't take me long to loose interest.

What do you use for a cure oven? I picked up a gun on sale a while back so I could do some for myself but the outlet I was going to use can't provide the power for the oven I was going to use. To make it work I'd have to run all new power wire from the house out to the shop which isn't an option right now. I'm looking for other options for a cure oven or I'll probably have to build one to work off of a standard 110 wall outlet.

Yes, modified Savage basher/jumper, but mainly I'm an RC Crawler. My Micro-T is a blast in the driveway too! Need a new chassis for my HPI Wheely King 4x4 crawler build. Built a pretty good TLT crawler that is my main crawler.

My TLT based crawler, wow need to get some current pics with my narrowed and drilled out wheels, lowered body, etc. A quick test pic:

I know it's bush league compared to you guys but, I have a couple that I used to exercise my dog. Nothing fancy. I have modified them by using batteries from cordless tools, just to get more time on the tennis court. I do have the dog trained to roll them upright after she attacks them.

I have a bunch of R/C trucks. I have an E-Maxx, a complete Stampede, but it is in Pieces (both Traxxas) and a RC10T2 stadium truck. I have a few Xmods as well. Don't drive any of them much.

One of the Xmods I turned into a project. Hope this link is ok, and not forbiden in any way. http://www.microrccenter.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37594&hl=

That has been my project since about this time last year. Only have the front supesion and steering left to do. I probably won't finish it for a while though, I racked my brain enough just getting that far. That is 1/24 scale too. May not look pretty underneath, but it will be a capable R/C, thats all that matters.
