Wannabe scale crawler build
 

I bought some assorted parts so I am going to build a wannabe scale crawler. Who knows it might even work. The body is a Radio Shack that looks like a Suzuki or a Tracker pick one. Everything on it is close to scale except the width it is about 1/2 inch to wide and I am not going to try and narrow it. That is the only thing right on this build. I am using a set of what will be highly modified Traxxas independent axles convereted to a mess that might work as a strange straight axle. I will post pictures soon. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment.

Im curious to see what you come up with lol. Cant wait for some pics man. Good luck...... God Speed =)

Pictures
 

These pictures show what I'm starting with including the 2.2 tires.

The rest of them
 

A few more

Slap some 1.9"s on there and you have a super bad ass ride. The 2.2"s are really cool though

Well it's simple I got a good deal on 2 sets of 2.2s so that's what I'm going with the 1.9 would be a better choice but so would a smaller axle. I am only going to narrow it by about 6 inches and then it will be a straight crooked axle. Oh yea I'm making the beadlocks for it too. Wish me luck.

That body is awesome - great find!

A friend of mine found it he collects scrap and picked it up somewhere. I think it is going to be Pumkin Orange unless I change my mind. I still have work to do on it.

First coat of paint went on today bright yellow. This will be the accent color after I figure out some graffics. Got ahold of a beadlock rim to measure to make my own and got a name "Pumpkin Smasher" Now My buddy shows up wit what looks like a late 80s Toyota Extracab in 1/16 and a nice Ford Crew Cab close to 1/10. Looks like more projects.

Ah the Suzuki Sidekick/Geo Tracker. Cool little cars. What is the wheelbase of this body? Would like to get my hands on one of these.

judging by the looks of the body id say a set of losi mrc axles will fit perfectly under that body with 1.5 tires

CSB510 The wheelbase is between 9.5 and 10 inches I used the tracker wheelbase and it scaled out to 1/10 scale but is about 1/2 inches to wide.
Freaksofnature you are probably right but I already had the other stuff and I kind of like doing stuff the The next one looks like a late 80s Toyota extacab and measured at about 1/16 scale I also have a nice looking F150 that is screaming light me up. Pictures in in next post.

New Pictures
 

New pictures of the Tracker and a couple of new ones.
