Sayer 742 Posted April 17, 2014 So I picked this up a while backand recently, I started thinking that if I put this under it:and then bolted these wheels on, it'd be pretty cool. I'd even get to try my hand at styrene to fill that gaping hole in the hood/bonnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grastens 2795 Posted April 17, 2014 We are looking at it! This would be a nice undertaking - if nothing else, something different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted April 17, 2014 Don't fill the bonnet hole, make a blower to fit in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted April 17, 2014 Don't fill the bonnet hole, make a blower to fit in there.i concur.What happened to the chassis? If axial, the frame is metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted April 17, 2014 Don't fill the bonnet hole, make a blower to fit in there. It came with a bolt on blower actually. I removed it (still have it) because it's very not scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted April 17, 2014 Where's the bruiser? Technically I should have said Mountaineer, but it was late and I wasn't paying attention. i concur. What happened to the chassis? If axial, the frame is metal. The chassis picture is an Axial SCX10 with the wheelbase shortening kit installed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted April 17, 2014 Put the three iems together and you'll have a competent crawler for sure. Is it a Bruiser, with the nostalgia etc, etc ? No Horses for courses - you can spend a lot more money than the cost of a Bruiser at RC4WD store if you want a semi capbale mutlispeed crawler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah the intended "joke" is that at the end, I'm going to be left with something that looks kinda like a Mountie, but is likely to cost me more since I don't currently have the Axial or the shortening kit (or the wheels) - not to mention time, and painting and possibly fabrication and custom decals...

Sayer 742 Posted April 17, 2014 can spend crazy amts @ RC4WD shop, full stop I avoid visiting as much as possible I once bought a set of wheels there that cost more than the truck they were going onto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr crispy 2293 Posted April 18, 2014 Oooo they look nice! Where did you get those beauties? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted April 18, 2014 Oooo they look nice! Where did you get those beauties? its an accessory for a Lightning McQueen toy that came out around Cars2 time. It comes as a whole lump of chrome, but can be dismantled for DIY detailing. I like to slap on a range of different silver/greys and blacks, not hard.

mtbkym01 4008 Posted April 18, 2014 this should fill the hole... What scale Wills? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted April 18, 2014 What scale Wills? it looks pretty scale for a smallblock on a 1/10 touringcar IMHO, like the scoop on a Clod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted April 18, 2014 I used the plastic engines from the 1/18 scale Muscle Machines cars to do both of these rides of mine http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/RC%20cars/042005003.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/RC%20cars/081011025.jpg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sayer 742 Posted April 20, 2014 Sorry guys but a huge blower in the front of a Yota, just didn't seem right to me It's not the greatest fill job (first time with styrene and Tamiya putty) but it'll do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted April 20, 2014 looks find with me. but how could you go against the elder TC members when a blower was the way to go!:-):-):-). Is your trophy, look forward to the results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted April 23, 2014 Got some paint on the body. I decided to go with yellow so it wouldn't be as noticeable if and when it gets dinged during running. (also re-did the ridges on the hood/bonnet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted April 23, 2014 Quick question, does anyone know how the track width of an SCX10 compares to a CC01? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
