Just getting into the crawler hobby. Built a couple scx24s last year and had a blast with them. Started my first 1/10th scale rig just before Christmas and hoping to finish soon! Your videos are super helpful!

Just building the trucks is the first part. You've got a trip to plan for, both ways. And all the gear you need. Your Jeep will be full. Got a small trailer to pull behind it? If you can manage your time effectively you'll be in good shape. No worries. I'm looking forward to this series as I do with all other's you guys do. I'm thinking you will do better then you expect.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for your encouragement and thanks for watching! No trailer for the Jeep, maybe I can 3D print one in time 😂.

Great that you are doing this new series, building on the last one but updating the vehicles. I purchased a Honcho inspired by the Honcho budget build series and I completed my own ground up SCX10ii based Comp crawler last month, so looking forward to competing in 2022 and can't wait for this series, might even drive to Scale Nationals this year to watch and learn.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad that the budget build series inspired you! Maybe we'll see you at Scale Nationals!

[@robbinthehood94]

Here we go!

[@RTmadnesstoo]

I'm really excited that the comp will be near by. Finally. I've been going there for years although it has changed tremendously including the name. The climbing community always called it Sand Rock. I was just there the day after Thanksgiving.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'm excited too! It's been too long since I've been to a comp. Make sure to come and say hi!

[@MetalHeadRCGarage]

Stoked for following this series and the comp itself. That C2/3 rig is looking soo sick! 🤘🏻

Well cool. We will be there as a vendor. Will be cool to hopefully meet you in person.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That WOULD be cool!

[@GrimJerr]

Looking forward to this series, don't get to competitions, doesn't mean that I don't aspire to someday. Good to know the rules and what to expect. Def be checking the past series. This year i am graduating myself to Custom builds. A hardbody Halo Warthog 1/10 Trail Truck that is a toy truck right now, with Class 1 tires it has a good scale look. Then a KAMAZ style DAKAR in the Summer. Maybe a G-rail of some sort, ultra light mini ESC and revolver, or belly dragger. Still have 2 Tamiya car Kits to get me to Spring.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching. Those sound like fun projects!

[@BlackSmithRC]

Great rigs! The class 2 and 3 build is what I would do, except a Chevy hardbody, lol. MIDWID! Bro!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah awesome dude, going to be awesome build, I’ll be here following for sure sure

[@brianellison3525]

Very nice. I love the jeep cab, someone needs to produce that in lexan. Im using a cut up old ford by axial on my class 3 just so I don't have to do another Power Wagon. Love your vids, I'm stoked about that Sherpa frame. I've been wanting one for a while now. My last comp group kinda fizzled away, but I have a buddy north of me that just joined a crawl club. I'll be heading up to Monroe Wa. to crawl with Die Hard RC. And, PNWRCRC hosts an event monthly all over NW Washington. I'd like to hook up with those guys, but they have a lot of water obstacles. I don't like to get wet, so we'll see. Anyhoo, love your show, looking forward to see them come together. As always, have fun.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the comments, glad to hear you didn't go Power Wagon! 😉

How did you mount these body’s to the frame of the truck? Can you show a video on how to mount bodys in general

[@scalebuildersguild]

It’s generally a little different for each build, and I cover the mounting in later episodes. Hard to have a “one way fits all” system. Sorry!

Well I don't do the comp crawling yet. I think I am going to now though thanks to you and Josh. I also just won a TGH transmission on New Years day from a raffle. So now I have a reason to build one. I think I'm going to go with a G Speed Chassis. I won the transmission from Gabriel Fleming. By the way those axles on the class one look just like the axles I just completed for my Phoenix lol.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad we could help inspire you! Good luck with the build!

Age old question, straight axle or portals ? Which is the better way to go ?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Really depends on your end use requirements. Do you need extra ground clearance, or lower center of gravity?

[@hktcss]

@@scalebuildersguild lower cog is always key, looking to get a new rig and thinking of going the scx10.3 early bronco as it comes with straight axles and looks more scale. I got a redcat gen8 and it’s good but way to clumsy and top heavy. I also think build quality is no where near as good as Traxxas or axial.

Love the look of those bodies. How did you decide on the Sherpa chassis and not a gspeed or ccw or something like that? Just curious.

I liked the look of what TGH was offering, and since their transmission/running gear is proven, it made sense to go with a chassis designed around it!
