Just a quick one about the colour, my dad had one in a burgundy colour with (fake) chrome accessories and it looked really nice, just a thoughtI am going to build a class 1 SORRCA hard body. I have been looking for a body and have a couple things to think about.
I really liked building my TF2 as a class 2 when it still had a front grill and bumpers it was nice looking. But to get max performance some cuts need to be made for tire clearance.
Class 1 is a street truck you would drive to work daily and maybe go off road a little.
I want a vintage Jeep or pick up truck. I don’t want an SUV style truck or a 4 door. Just a personal preference. With all that BS in mind I decided to just get another TF2 and make it a class 1. The Injora hardbody’s look OK but I just think they look heavy and cheap.
Class one has different rules. Like a 4.19 maximum tire size.
Need full size front and rear bumpers
A hard body with full interior.
Lights and scale accessories.
And a METAL frame with shock hoops that are bolted or welded on to the frame.
So I’m going with a basic SCX10ii frame.
I’ll stiffen it up with appropriate metal chassis stiffening and build it with the aftermarket parts I have around.
For a power system I’m going to go with a Firma 40 brushed system. The system is fine for most applications and it fits in the battery box with the battery drastically reducing the size and weight of the electronics.
Now for the fun part
I’m going to buy or build a trailer and use the class 1 truck to tow the class 2 truck to the trail head and both trucks will be Toyota Hilux.
The only stipulation is no black paint. I don’t like the Marty Mc Fly thing.
I have most of the parts, but need printed body mounts and some other stuff. But let’s see how it all goes together.
