A "little" off-roading tonight... 1:10 scale

Those are awesome!!! But why not spend the $500-$1000 on your real truck?

 

indeed. tower hobbies is a very good shop to buy from.

and RCP for the high end parts.

That first picture looks like it is a full size.

 

ya... i built this about 4 years ago. i agree, now, i would spend that money on my tacoma.

 

haha... ya. i ended up making one for my wife so that we could share in the experience... it was easier to justify

 

nope, just front steering.

i used to have 4 wheel steering on it, but it makes it more difficult to make it up steep terrain.

using aftermarket knuckles and CV joints on the front allows for a greater steering angle. so it makes up for not having 4 wheel steering.

 

That's wild. Just like the real thing just itty bity.

 

sweet.

ya, i did the same thing. i added about 4 oz of lead weights in each wheel so now they each weight about 1/2 pound. that makes a huge difference in traction.
