Some progress on my latest abomination. It's far from complete, but it's running at least. 3 link/track bar front, semi-triangulated 4 link rear, and soon will get a roll cage, body work, and paint.
Tekin Rx8/SCX4 7.5
Neu Energy 4s 3600 cells
12/54 gearing (I think), 32 pitch
stock setup all around, needs swaybars
Airtronics MX-3 FHSS
Hitec 7955

I've been getting into this recently....although, much like my 1:1, I tend to like more full bodied rigs, and less of the tube/crawlers.
I built the Rodeo body from styrene to match my DD and recently acquired SAS'd Rodeo. The paint is different, but the scale is close (tires aren't true scale as with most R/C cars)
SCX10 Honcho kit
Tekin Fxr
Hitec servo (don't recall which)
35T Tekin motor
Spektrum rx/tx
I also just picked up another scx10 with a JK unlimited body. I still need to go through it and clean/grease stuff, but another truck to play with is always good.
I should have just bought a RTR! I bought an Axial xr 10 moa like about 2 years ago and I enjoyed putting it together and put tires on it but I have yet to buy electronics for it cause I'm a newb and was blown away on how expensive it was going to be to actually get it running!!!
Then to top it off they came out with the Wraith RTR thats cheaper than my kit was! Rc looks way fun but Im already poor.
built the kit
made rtr
rooster crawler esc,novak 45t motor,winch,rc4wd 2.2 rockstompers,aluminum hubs, aluminum links,losi shocks,etc... pretty fun rig.
Here's my '34 Ford.
SCX-10 chassis rails cut down with custom tube work.
SCX-10 axles with 4WS, 4-link F/R
Traxxas 21T, Tekin FXR ESC, Castle BEC
Axial BL's with 2.2 TSL's
14" WB, 3 1/4" at the belly.
Xr10 with a losi body on it that I bought from jwbogger. New axial hardened gears front and rear (broke both sets of the HR gears), new 7950th servo (broke the 7954sh) and a new paint job. So far I have been very impressed with the capabilities of the little crawler. Also bought a couple 2100mah 3s batts and get around an hour and some change on a single batt. I think I'm going to pick up a bodyless chassis and see where that takes me.
