This one is one I've been wanting to do for a while! I've toyed with the idea of building a "slammed" or "bagged" RC truck for a while now but never really knew were to start. RC bodies are typically made from lexan and are scaled based on the model they are made for so they aren't always "realistically scaled" like I wanted. But with crawling and scale trucks getting popular, there are more readily available styrene or plastic hard bodies out there. The RC4WD K5 Blazer is a common but great start for a build like this. It's super detailed and leaves a lot of room for modifications as well.
For the frame, I wanted to stick with the scale looks as well. I wanted it to look like something that could actually be produced by a manufacturer but also look like a full scale chassis. The technology around 3d printing, specifically resin 3d printing, makes this possible with the quality of parts that can be printed now.
So with a K5 Blazer Hardbody, an Axial SCX10 frame as a base, and a resin 3d printer, I'm starting my journey of building a scale Slammed RC Truck!!
