1/10 Land Rover LR3
Here is my Land Rover scaler. I seem to like the LR3 body better than the Rover Sport body.
Here are the specs:
Pictures: I like the stance here: It doesn't have the roof rack, snorkel, headlight protectors or front guard: Rear with tail light protectors: Flex shot. I think the shocks are kinda stiff because to get it to flex like this, I had to push down and let go so it would flex. Any ideas?: It can flex more, but I guess it would need more weight..: My ingenious front mounting points. Since I didn't have the front bumper guard, there were two holes that disturbed me, so I stuck some mounting posts in there and attached them to the chassis, and it works out perfectly! Closer picture of mounts on chassis: Chassis shot. You really can't see it from here, but the transmission is holding on to a piece of metal held onto the chassis. Rear mounting idea. Not finalized yet. (Kinda stuck on what to do, since I want no holes on the body, except for ones already there...): Ground clearance: Same but with Range Rover Sport body. It is high because the roof line on it is lower the the LR3, so the rear mounting posts raise it up a bit.

Very nice. Maybe if you switched to a softer spring you could get a little easier flex with the existing shocks? Can we expect a crawling video?

As for the crawling video, I will try, if I find anywhere to crawl in Florida...

I don't know much about the 1/10, but it would be cool if you could do a duel rate spring with a stiffer spring on the bottom half and a more softer one on the top. Last edited by Surgeon; 03-08-2008 at 06:25 PM.. |

Amazing! I really love it. Is it more of a trail/scale rig? Or a crawler? Looks very nice. I knew those were high-lift wheels and tires.

Stang Racer: If you go to www.scale4x4rc.us, you can find out more. I got the things from people who were selling them.
Xmodracer1: It is more of a trail rig. Thank you.

Might want to try softer springs or lay the shocks down more. You should be able to get more articulation from that setup. I am not much for the off the shelf kit rig either.
