I might have to take the leap after searching around a little more, but I just found this 1/6 scale Hummer that would make a beautiful scaler lid. Full interior.
I hate to think of dropping $85 just for the body, but this is a biggy.
12" high, 10" wide, 24" long.
Found it through Hobbytron.com

EDIT:
Sorry, it's not a Hummer, it's a Hum-V. That's why it caught my eye.

AFTER the Savvy is running, right?

That would make a killer scaler!

 

[alpinehyperlite]

That thing is HUGE!!

 

[Rolex]

LMAO. I'm waiting on parts for the Savvy, so I need something as a distraction. This would look really good with mud and dust on it.

24 inches long!!! 2 FEET!!! Major scaler, great detail already built in. Big brush bumper, roof rack, wipers, lights. I can see it now, all decked out in badass camo.
Try to ignore the silly wheel lights. They'll be the first to go.

LMAO. This would look really good with mud and dust on it.

Now I know you are dreaming!

Really, it would be a bad a$$ project. I see a custom built frame, one-off axles, and some really big wheels and tires in your future...

I just got back from a search and the only other one I found was $149.
This one, on clearance from Hobbytron includes another $22.45 for shipping. Well, what's a hundred bucks when I already have most of the running gear from the Axial I tore apart for the last chassis build.
I think this one would sit just perfect on the 2.2 wheels.
Looking for a volunteer to try to talk me out of this.

 

[RC Addict]

I ain't talkin' you outta nuttin--I wanna see this baby get built!

 

[ThunderTiger]

u got a link to one of these thingfs please, I'm intrigued now..................

Sctratch that, i found it.


Rolex, did u mean camo like this ??

:thumbup:

$100 for a body really isn't that bad if it's what you want. As I've stated many times before I'm looking to pick up a 1:4 scale stock car someday and those bodies are $100 and they are simply Lexan like our smaller scale bodies, just REALLY big.

I say do it if that's what you want. The only thing I 'want' you to do is run the Savage.

 

[Rolex]

too late. Why couldn't one of you have stopped me. I just took a 10 minute break from here and got it. It should be at my door by Thursday. :banana-mario:

I've done a lot of camo through the years, so I'm thinking more along the lines of a Marine desert tan.

This was my T-Maxx from a few years back, and I really liked the look.

 

[slowngreen]

Ralph I'm positive I've seen it somewhere for around $55, i'll do some looking again and let you know if i find it soon.

Since you cleared me to buy that body, I promise to run the Savage....Just for you.

Slowgreen, I found several, mostly different body styles like the open back. This is the one I like best. Everything else was an H2 or 3 or lacked detail.

 

[ThunderTiger]

Awwwww, how nice of you to buy me a new toy rolex.

When you sending it to me then ?? lol :thumbup:

 

[Rolex]

You'll be first in line for the silly wheels.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Since you cleared me to buy that body, I promise to run the Savage....Just for you.

Of course you will, but when?



Looks like a great project. Can't wait to hear more. I like that body on the T-Maxx.

 

[slowngreen]

ya sorry Rolex, the one i was talking about was just a review where it said street value of $50 wich stuck in my head. sorry. should be sweet, look forward to it.

 

[ThunderTiger]

Cool, i got just the thing to put em on too......

Now, where is that rig and where are my tools................................

 

[MotoGod]

I saw a 1/6th Hummer at Toys R Us @ 2 weeks ago that was like $35 on Clearance.

 

[Rolex]

Toys R Us carries New Bright. Their Hummer is the H2. No way is that an appropriate scale off-roader, that's why I grabbed the original Humm-V version.

I wonder if they processed my order yet. I hope they have a night shift.

 

[rollinlow]

these would look nice if they are the right size
