Hi gang,
I thought this would be a cool project.
I purchased a plethora of stuff for a 1/18 Ruckus, from a fellow forum member, at what I thought was a pretty good deal.
Then I thought crap what am I going to use this stuff on.
I happened to win a fairly good auction on Ebay, a 1/18 Ruckus no body and no transmitter. $30 shipped.
It does have a few issues off the bat, but not to crazy, fingers crossed the drive train is in tact. But it visibly looks good.
So, I got the car and the parts, it's time to make a build thread.
Now this won't be an ALL out build, but it is my first foray into anything (size wise) not 1/10th scale, it's so tiny!!!
It also happens to be the first 4x4 vehicle I have ever messed with.
Looking at the 1/18 scale car, they crammed that stuff in there..... LOL
For now if the brushed motor is good it will stay that way, for the time being. Then slowly add a brushless system.
I'm excited about it! I welcome any tips or tricks, now or along the way.
