rockhardzj Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I built a fully custom PSC Bruiser chassis out of 1/8" solid steel wire, took about 4hrs, and just going off a few pictures, but it's fairly accurate. Some day, I'll get some axles and a motor, and linked coil suspensions on it along with a bit of a body to keep it clean looking. It was actually designed so well in fact, that I, at 187lbs can stand on it, and it doesn't give the slightest bit, so its BUILT! I certainly over-engineered it in guess work... It measures 10-3/4 long, 3-1/4 wide, and 3-1/2 high. All measurements in inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 rccrawler.com I have an Emaxx that is built to the hilt. Brushless motor, UE diffs, GA bulks, UE shock towers, Ofna shocks...etc. But I need a $200 motor speed control. You can build a custom tube chassis out of brake line, and solder. Looks pretty fun/cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's MIG welded too, I just need to clean it up sometime, some of the welds are sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88swampedmj Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 they are SSMT axles. 1/43 scale trucks that arent made anymore the axles fit great under 1/25 scale model trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORCA Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Wow holy shiet man, those are sweet! I use to be into 1/10th scale trucks, but they are money pits!! Anyway I've got some random toy trucks around the house because i'm still a kid at heart... Maybe I'll get some pictures if i'm really bored...
