Project Xmods Truck Scaler

[lol]

Scaler? No wai! After being bored, I looked at my pile of x-truck parts and thought to myself that I can make something like Dr. Kustom's bigger scaler. After some chats with him, I decided to get down to work.

1st, I Chopped a model chassis to fit the hummer. (no pic)

2nd, I came up with an idea for the front suspension.





After a few checks and questions with Dr. Kustom, he asked me what was the ground clearance of it from the knuckle to wheel. I checked with the off-road tires it barely had 3MM ground clearance. Back to drawing board!

And, after some suggestions again by Dr. Kustom, I repositioned things and arrived here. Its almost mounted completely and identical on both sides, just need to mount the linkages.



and here are teh rims/tires I tested with.



Stay Tuned, as I work on the rear suspension.

Thanks, but you can't conduct any type of buying/selling or trading outside the B/S/T Area, and you also need to have 50 posts to access B/S/T Area.
Welcome to forum and read over rules (:

Got the driving system down. Gearbox drives the front car diff, which will drive shafts linking to the front and rear.

wow thats looking pretty sick so far! how do you plan on mounting the rear of the truck?

[lol]

Hah! I was just getting on it. I mounted the chopped off piece.





and a quick mock up just for you guys

[dreamingISdrifting]

nice I bet this is going to be a cool build up, I am diggin the bevel2bevel tranny design.

[pinsk17]

Wow. this looks like a sick build. Can't wait to see the final project. Keep us posted.

[xmodsunlimited]

wow! This is one of the most technical projects I have seen. What type of body do you plan on using?

[texan_idiot25]

How is the front suspension not moving side to side? Needs to be triangulated in some way.

Other than that, I love full custom builds, good work son.

[avery brown]

thats looking good man.

is that how the batterys are going to sit? becuase it looks like there enough room on the sides to put the baterys.

[Blade.]

Any plans on what kind of rear end setup for suspension by chance?

Coil, or Leafs?

Blade.
