RC Ratrod 101, Starting a new Scratchbuilt RC, How I do it

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow!😮 that rat rod is gonna look sweet! Looking forward to seeing more updates on this one!👌😎👍awesome!

[@ericpohlman5131]

Here in Indiana where the James Dean Festival brings all the boys to the yard, I have seen some gorgeous Rat Rods. One of my favorites this year, (very similar to most of your RC Rat Rods but 1 to 1) was one that was rusted, numbered but the driver side door was yellow.....a clean yellow door that set a narrative that one day this will look brand new again. I thought, usually gear heads wouldn't think to go in that direction...create a fictional story that will never come to fruition. Just an idea to maybe help you advance this project. I love the blue....

[@Jellybean_191]

That Festival has always been cool. Haven't been there for years. I grew up just South of there. So many cars.

[@newbiercguy4147]

Its cool to see how these come to life.. your work is amazing

[@sleepysnz]

aliexpress has the front ends both in black or chrome, depending on store they usually go for around 15-20 bucks each, i have a couple of each colour as i build the semi trucks

[@RC-ll1rt]

These are so cool , always wandered what goes into building one , Great Vid !

[@everythingdrifting3938]

At the moment it is giving me HW Bone Crusher/Rat Fink vibes. If I was building it, I would go with that style and with a pinch of Gas Monkey thrown it too.

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Eaglemoss is bye bye…….but, ALLEGEDLY IXO Collections may pick up with some of the Eaglemoss models if they can get the IP. I’m at the same stage of the Ecto 1 as you when they pulled the plug! Great build man. Keep trucking!

[@RCJesus420]

Yup, Eaglemoss went bankrupt and officially out of business in August. It sucks. They made cool stuff; those wheels are super dope!!! I'd definitely say ditch the fenders if you're not running rear fenders and running boards on it.

[@codyburkhart5819]

Think the fronts are kyosho scorpion wheels. I've used them on a build I did

[@Jellybean_191]

Have you checked out Harleys print files for a engine. He's got some cool stuff you can do.

[@devonkunkel3355]

the blue body would be great for a rat=crawler????

[@johnsargeant2041]
