TA02 vs. rocks!

[z-man280]

thought i would take the ole S-10 on a little rock mission. Nothing wild mind you, they have no ground clearance, but still fun....and it gave me a nice break today. Even a short vid at the end!

You know if you paint the diff covers black that would help in the scale looks! I like that truck it's growing on me, I run my corvette more than my rusty now. There's something about scale R/C that's peaked my intrest! Might get the hummer? Make another vid may be 2-3 mins long...............

[z-man280]

heres another vid, nothing fancy...

she needs more ground clearance for sure!!

( time to build a 1.9 rig:D)

I wouldn't change the to 1.9" tires that might hurt the scale look of the rig. Now a scale sized {stadium** track would look cool!

[xxRyanTxx]

Or perhaps change to the hilift tyres. Apparently they are a touch bigger.

[z-man280]

i need to do some more research on it, as i see now alot of 1.9 rigs are based off the TA02, but i cant imagine them using the TA chassis. I want to go scale, make it look right,something a "weekend warrior" would own.. some off-road lights, ect. oh, and a trailer, to pull Slidewayz around with.:D

nothing really is gonna happen til after the Bash tho...

[balang_479]

awesome idea... i cool trailer would be awesome.
again great machine and cool vid.... now it just needs to do some serious desert racing and like pikes peak or something...

If you want scale look go to scalerc4x4.com and look at those rides.

hows the playdoh holding up with those jumps? :D

[Smib]

That looks like a lot of fun. I really want to make a 8th or maybe 10th scale baja truck. I would drive it hard, so I think 8th would be the way to go for stability.

[z-man280]

hows the playdoh holding up with those jumps? :D


holding GREAT! broke a dogbone tho! :eek:

[thareelcauz]

:eek: wow. who would have thought that playdoh is stronger than plastic? :huh:

holding GREAT! broke a dogbone tho! :eek:

[z-man280]

lol, sad thing , its a METAL dogbone!!!!!

[thareelcauz]

:eek: :eek: :huh: :huh: :eek: :eek: are you serious? wow. gotta love playdoh!!!

on a side note, I remember you saying you had to a bunch of work to get the sus. softer. What all did you have to do? I'm thinkin about picking one up and want to know how big of a headache its gonna be.

[z-man280]

ya know, the TA02 does a decent job, i jsut want it softer...probably lighter oil, "hog" out the pistons a bit,..and some cut down maxx springs. The only real downside is ground clearnace, but for a multi-use truck,...it deos everything nicely. The beauty? change shock position, throw some ABS on it, and a car body.........INSTANT drifter!

Looks like fun!
