1/6 scale Halo warhog build from a T-maxx

[blank]

I want to make a 1/6 scale Warthog from the Halo game. I did a search and came up with nothing. I need some help to figure out how I'm going to do this.

What my plan is take my T-maxx cut the frame and extend it. I can see I will need to extend the drive shaft (hopefully just the front) or can I buy a shaft that is already extended?

1. What is the measurements of a 1/6 scale warthog? center of front wheel to back wheel, height, and so on.

2. what would be involved in extending my T-maxx?

3. Do they make driveshaft and other parts to do this? if so would the parts fit to make it 1/6 scale?

I'm sure I will have more questions as this goes on. We are hoping this is going to be used in a Halo ad when were done along with scale model action figures.

I need some good advice here fellas it's going to take along time to make the body for this thing from scratch. I have included links to some pics.

Check out the ProLine Helios lid. I'm sure it will really help you scale it up and get the detail right.

Thanks guys.

Helios is nice but I gotta make this thing look real from certain angles. even down to LED lights seats the hole 9 yards.

You might actually be better off going with a rock crawler scaler! turning a maxx into this is going to be really really expensive and very hard to scale it up jus right. jus my 2 cents, i'd do a cralwer but put a 17t motor or so. I wonder if they might make a kit out there for this idea that you could then turn into an r/c maybe?

I would deff start with something like an SCX 10 by axial.
