1/1?

Anomie

I think he meant 1/10. They are indeed Pro-Line. I believe they were marketed for the T-Maxx.

The powerplant will probably be a Novak HV-Maxx, to keep it simple. This won't be a speed demon.

It is modeled after the ESP Clodzilla IV chassis, a monster truck. This chassis will not likely have enough articulation to crawl very well, although I intend to try it. It is roughly 1/6-scale as far as I can tell, about an 18" wheelbase and the body is 29" long.

that is some awesome work!!! what lathe/mill are u using? im planning on building a 1/4 scale st

Anomie

I have used 2 lathes the same size (6" swing), both made by Hardinge, and a Bridgeport mill. All three have digital readouts, and are manually controlled.

where did you get the digital readout for the lathe?

Anomie

The DRO's on all the machines are made by Accu-rite, and they were all purchsed from Shop Tools.

I think they have an online catalog.
