Scale model Chevy Blazer

still think you need to stretch the wheelbase a bit... get those tires centered.... also lil narrow.. so some offset rims???

Wrapped my charger...

If you do it right,
you can tuck the battery connecter in between the frame post, and ESC.

Action shots...

FLOOR IT!!!!

Honestly, you guys...
This is the funnest "Scaler" I've played with!

The weight distribution is darn near PERFECT, to scale...
The power of the micro crawler, is now evenly distributed around the wheels.

If this had a LiPo battery, or, dare I say it...
A Brushless Kit!

Oh, man....

Oh yeah.... I forgot Im still on the droop setup.
I'm gonna put the springs back in and see what happens.

Why didn't my dad buy me this stuff for my birthday when I was young...!?!?
I had a look in the spare parts section for the Tamiya truck and there where complete transfercases and diff's with oil in it etc....
Pretty cool....and I "wasted" my time with LEGO!
Maybe I'll order one.....it's almost X-mas!
Perhaps santa can make a pitstop in the USA for me..!?

Im going to get my son one of these for Christmas and paint it to look just like my K5. I bet he would love it. Well I need one for my self also......

One for a good friend of my for his birthday and one for me.
Maybe I'll do a little "customizing" too....

I never can keep it straight. Which size is the typical model car? Not hotwheels car small, and not barbie doll car big. Somewhere in the middle.

most of the "regular" rc cars i believe are considered 1/10th???

 

[ChevyNL]

This is a 1/24 version I think...
If you try to fit a barbie in this version...I don't think it goes in one part...maybe if you chop it up a bit she will fit!!

Typical die-cast metal cars are 1/18th scale while the plastic models you build are either 1/24th or 1/25th.
