"scale defender 90" more pics added 16/04 and again 03/06

[Gaz!]

hi, after stripping out my fastrax cage, i have decided to go for a more "scale rig" the aim is to compete in class 1 of the scale comps i attend, class 1 being something you would see on the road.

this is what i have up to now, axial scx10 axles, rear has alloy lockouts and the front has cvd`s alloy knuckles and c-hubs. junfac carbon steel driveshafts, all steel internals in the gearbox with a tekin 45t motor running a 20t pinion and 80t spur, some rc4wd copy mud thrashers.

electrics wise as yet, tekin 45t motor, savox 1256tg servo for steering, castle creations 10amp bec. 3 racing winch

as for whats ordered and coming, complete new scx10 chassis, rc4wd 1.9" oem beadlocks in black, land rover defender 90 hard body, tekin fxr esc.

then comes the add-ons, i have a sam fisher from splinter cell figure, 2 axial corbeau racing seats from a wraith, it will have steel bumpers and rock slider which will incorparate the body mounts too, led light kit.

this is now,

im aiming for one of these, not quite decided as yet though.....

which would you go for and why??

already built one of these before but was too afraid to run it, this will be used but not submerged in water! (i have another for that)

thanks for looking, gaz.

go for the orange one, and my reason cuz it looks so awesome

[scrumpy jack]

I love the grey Landy myself, as it's slightly more subtle than the orange...they both are really nice though.

[(-:AD:-)]

i like the silver one because it is standard and you see them on the road alot,

but i also like the orange one as it stands out and looks great

Orange

the grey one is a limited edition "tomb raider" 90.

i love them all but the grey and orange are in front for me too. but i do like the clean look of the red one......

the grey as it just looks nicer and when it gets muddy it dose not show as much as the red and orange

[emailiscrap]

Orange G4 expedition!

[revo madnesss]

grey for me!

[GlockMonkey]

Orange G4....it's what I would get full size if I could justify one...or an ex issue wolf

Will be watching this project with interest.

[Noj]

+1 for Orange

[Jacksprogis]

1st one or the g4 challenge orange one

[amellor03]

Orange but I like black ones aswell

I'd go for the red, Think these HK hard bodied landies look awesome just as standard without adding loads of roughty toughty bits.

Hopefully see you at the next scale comp ill be doing class 1 too.

[Gaz!]

Dingo Is class one Gaz its wheels are in the arches etc.

Taken from UKRCRC.

Class Descriptions

Class-1

[heavyleftthumb]

well last time it was ran, it was classed as class 2. i was there

[Gaz!]

my lexan bodied land rover scx10 (which could be classed as more scale than a dingo) was in class 2 as is the honcho, class 1 is hard bodies.

ask igbandy mate, unless they have changed/changing the classes, you will be in class 2.

[Dom C]

Really? Thats annoying ill ask ig on Facebook.

From what i'd read it didn't matter as long as it was over the arches, end of the chassis etc.

[igbandy]

It doesnt matter if it has a lexan or a HB shell, its down to wheelsize. 106mm max on a class 1 rig.

[Gaz!]

well back on topic,

scored a nice rc4wd punisher driveshaft for the front, so i ordered a matching one from the u.s for the rear, these are huge compared to standard or junfac ones but i do like them, had a set on another rig and worked well. all this extra weight low down can only help the cause.....

also ordered the paint from modelsport last night too, im not wanting to say until its painted but i will update when the first batch of parts come through......

[igbandy]

Waiting for part`s is a killer!

[heavyleftthumb]

i dont suffer the problem as got too ,much to do and little time so i dont get agro like some lol
