[RCPrototypes]

Hey Guys these are progress pics of my 5th scale class1 project! it's a Stainless tig welded Jimco style Chassis, My freind Scott Kell of Alloy Studios is doing the work for me on this one of a kind project. The Goal is to make a hpi Baja 5t/b look as scale as possible even making the body from Aluminum, here is the start of many pics please enjoy.

Here it is with a body mocked up with cardboard and masking tape, This is not the final look it is to get a idea of different styles and guide lines to use for the making of the body...

Yes XRMikey I know the hood is to long , I usually start big and trim it down little by little.

And the roof will get shortened up on the rear, I am keeping the rear flat to put tail lights on.

Here is some new added bracing and a new shock tower in the works to tie in the chassis.

Here is the latest pics of the Chassis tig welded along with new shock tower bulk heads that were laser cut from sheet metal. The cage weighed in at 4lbs. 3 oz. the tubes are Stainless Steel 3/8 tubing .063 it also is very easy to remove. The goal was to keep it light and mount to a stock baja platform, we are now in the stages to make it out of plastic and will be available in both materials. Also available will the body in aluminum and Lexan , there will be a wide choice of body designs and roofs made from Lexan engineered to take a blow protecting the metal cages.

Nice! Something I have been wanting to do for a while but had no idea where to start. That shock tower is flippin' sweet! Make one for a Slash and I'll be your first buyer!
