    Very cool. After seeing these trucks, im starting to think I went overboard on the scaleing my crawler. Guess its time to bite the bullet and risk a roll over or a few scratches.  ;D

    Nah thats my favorite part of scalers, they are only what you make and want them to be. If you have fun just tooling around in a cool looking truck being mellow thats great. I have some I like to drive that way also. I don't like beating mine up either. Events like these G6 ones are brutal on a truck and favor soft bodied trucks built for reliability over super scale appearance. I was just one of under 10 hard bodies I saw out of the hundreds of trucks entered. There were 3 legs to my class each being between 1-3+ hrs and a couple miles of nasty terrain for you and vehicle to conquer. Ultra class drivers were required to do 2 laps per leg!

    One leg required you to float your rig down a river a few hundred feet on a home made raft lol. Here is Frenchblue preparing to launch his southern buggy

    Who's orange tube rig is that?  That is very cool.  Is it metal tube?  Is it just a roll cage (cover) or a full tube frame?

    That's really nice work.  Does it have a pan from another model or are the electronics and battery all mounted to the fabricated tube chassis?

    [/quote]Nope its all cusom fabricated. Electronics are hiding all over the place in it. It has a pro4 rspro power combo with a 2spd summit trans. It has a Quicksand winch with a dedicated esc, bec, 6ch reciever, and 3s lipo. There is also a light controller and fullsize shift servo. Steered by a 7950. All very tightly packed

    That's a lot of stuff packed in there.  I would not have guessed you could fit all that inside that cage.
