semijoe Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) finally able to get started on this build, ive been wanting to do this for along time. I believe ive done enough research and download enough pictures to get start like all my builds it wil be r/c with a working arm . ive scale this out to be a 1/10 which is really big, somt times I think I take in to much fumes . lol ive measured this out to be around 790mm, tires are 126mm using 2.2 rims theres going to be a lot of 3 steps forward and many steps back . im going in 1/2 blind on this and don't know what walls I will be hitting. im assuming around 400 hours , so this will be great winter coming build . well enjoy the movie and lets get started ive cut the frame rail, I some what know where the axles go, I need to make the lower hull 1st. ive started by intergrading the rails in the hull, starting from the front Edited September 27, 2013 by semijoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
