doin’ thangs i know things haven’t gone so smoothly getting this thing off the ground. Technical difficulties galore and other setbacks have really pounded us here at Scalers Magazine, but we just keep powering through. Got some extra help to bring even more event coverage to you awesome readers.Working out a new, cleaner layout that I hope you all enjoy. There is some great stuff filling the pages of this issue. We got three stunning feature rigs from Mario Zamudio, David Miller and Nick Hernandez. Their rigs really step up the drool factor, so I know you all will be pleased. If the rigs dont do it for you, we also have all the action from the 48-Hour Challenge all the way from Vermont and the Team KNK Tough Truck Challenge. If you still haven’t had enough, we have a sit down with the epic builder, Danny Huynh. Just getting better and better is the name of the game around here. I truly hope that you agree that we are.

BentMetal Customs In this issue of Scalers Magazine we chose Donny Fleming of Bentmetal for the shop in the spotlight. I had the pleasure of meeting Donny at his house to do a one on one interview. I thought we would change it up a bit with a Q&A article. I had a handful of questions for the brains behind Bentmetal and here is what he had to say… Fern: “How did the idea of Bentmetal come about?” Donny: “The idea came to build a 2.2 mega truck. The chassis needed to be designed from scratch. BPC designed and fabricates the chassis rails for the mega trucks and all other fabrication work is done by Bentmetal. The shop has become a regular fabrication place with design features. I design and ship mega trucks and custom parts all over the US and Canada.”
Fern: “How do your aftermarket products stand out, with so many other manufacturers of custom/upgrade parts on the market for the R/C crawler community?” Donny: “I continually produce high quality parts because the demand for these are much higher than some of the other manufacturers out there. I try to keep my prices in the right market and not overcharge people.”
Fern: “How long has Bentmetal been in business?” Donny: “Bentmetal began in the fall after Axialfest 2014. In 2014 I had my left knee replacement operation and was in need of a project or something to keep me busy while in recovery. I decided to sell all my woodworking equipment and go back into the welding business again in the garage but on a smaller scale.”
Fern: “Where do you see Bentmetal in the future and do you have any new products or plans for your company?” Donny: “The future of Bentmetal will continue with new and innovative products. Stay tuned and keep up with Bentmetal on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you.”
Fern: “What made you decide to sell to the public?” Donny: “Putting 2.2 mega trucks, Bentmetal rock sliders, custom bumpers and custom builds on the market was a great idea; it ended up financing my hobby and also gave an opportunity to a lot of people (local and abroad) to have important parts made here in my small shop to modify their crawlers.”
Fern: “It was great hanging out with you Donny and to check out your awesome shop and all the high quality products you create. Thank you for having me and hope to crawl with you on the trails soon!”

teste
Pit Bull PBX A/T Well the test we have here is of the PitBull Tire Atx. Want to thank Mike Green of PitBull for allowing us to have a set of there tires and there wheels to test out. They are a 1.9 wheel size with a 4.05 out side diameter, they come with foams in the package which are a plus. For this test we were able to also test them on there 1.9 Raceline 931 injector wheels in a matte black finish. The test rig is a stock Axial racing scx10 with metal links and boom racing shocks with a rtr weight of 6.5 lbs. First impression is the foams are a little firm, the tire them selves feel sticky. The wheels are a double bead lock design with 7 screws holding them on. They fit nicely on there wheels and tired them on a few others with no issues. Out on the rocks and trail they do OK, in the wet and less traction surfaces that we have here in the Midwest they have times when the struggle do to there small luggage height and firm foams. On a few different spot where I tested them on the rocks they work, the firmer foams helped the truck side hill, but at the same time hurt it a bit when you wanted the tire to squish the firm foams hurt some traction. I didn’t really get to try them in the thick clay mud we have around here but I have seen them so well on rigs with some more power to help clean them out.So overall they are a good tire for there sized and width, they have a super PitBull scale look to them, will they do better with a different set of foams and a maybe a heavier truck or one with more weight down low? I would say more then likely. So if you are looking for another PitBull tire to add to your line up the atx may be just the tire your looking for. I would suggest some softer foams and maybe some weight in the axle or down low to help them compress. Once again want to thank Mike Green of PitBull tire for allowing uus/me to test these out. -Adam J

on the bench
Axialfest or Bust Nick Farr is putting some serious work into this hand fabbed rig. He started with 5/32 and 1/8 inch solid rod and 1/16 inch steel plate to fab up two small vertical plates that hold the skid and mate to the cage. He then got to bending and brazing the cage to what he had pictured in his head. The wheelbase was then set to 11� and SCX10 running gear was tossed in with a narrow XR mod overdrive/underdrive gearing. 1.9 Pitbull Rockbeast are added for traction duties. Wanting to get a low and stable ride height, Nick went with 90mm shocks. A Castle Creations micro Sidewinder ESC and BEC are placed in the electronics box that fit snugly between the Hitec HS7950TH servo on the axle and the 2S LiPo that is hidden under the dash. Wrapping the chassis is a Pro Line Yota SR5 body that has been narrowed and shorten but leaving enough room to throw in a NickelFab servo winch under the hood. -Todd Henderson

Sweet Betty
avid Miller may call this beauty D“Betty”, but when I got sight of it all I could say was, “SWEET”.
Who would of thought that this would turn into the head-turner spread across these pages?
David Miller . Sweet Betty . Offroad Dave
David is a pretty cool guy. At the ripe young age of 43, he has only been doing the tiny truck thing for a couple of years. Even in that short time, he has a couple of sweet builds under his belt but this one really caught my eye. When I saw this one posted up online, I knew we had a feature in the making. So, I hit up Mr. Miller to get the low down on what went into this astonishing build. David started with a PigSnot chassis as the backbone of this project. From there Vanquish Products was unlisted to provide their Rock Jocks and links to keep those axles in place. Of course those axles wouldn’t dare be filled with stock components. Vanquish was once again called upon for their VVDs up front and shafts in the rear. Axial over/under diff gears round out the axles. At the heart of this beast, lies a Castle Mamba Monster X and a Tekin ROC412 3100kv that David plans to swap out to a Castle 2850kv. That motor spins SSD and Robinson Racing transmission gears stuffed inside Vanquish transmission housing and motor mount. MIP drive shafts make sure all the rotational force makes it to the axles. Putting it all down to the ground are a set of Gear Head Vegas wheels that have been wrapped with CI 2-stage foams and Pro Line Hyrax tires (*You can see at one point he was running Voodoo KLRs). A Savox 1210sg servo keep things pointed in the right direction. Now with all the mechanics taken care of, it was time to get to the body work. David decided to top this project off with a Tamiya F-350 body. He added a Gear Head light bar and RC4WD headlights to light the way. RC4WD rubber mirrors and winch add the finishing touch. David would like to thank his sponsors Castle RC and Moda3. Thanks also go out to his better half, Amanda and their kids for putting up with his craziness for tiny trucks. He’d also like to give a shout out to Axial for everything they have done for this hobby and all his friends at JFR OHV RC PARK for teaching him so much in such a little time. -Todd Henderson

WILD BULL
W e all know that the man can snap
some amazing photos (including the one here), but Mario is also a excellent builder. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this month’s cover rig and check yo ‘self!
I’ve been friends with Mario for quite some time. He has some serious skill behind the camera but he is also quite the builder and painter. The man has a stable of builds to prove it and this Hilux really stands out. Mario got himself a SCX10ii kit for the basis of this build. For the get-upand-go, he tossed in a Holmes Hobbies 2200kv Puller Pro and mated it up with their Trail Master BLE Pro. All that power is pushed through a Vanquish Atlas transfer case on its way to the VP SCX10ii Curries. The Curries are built to handle the abuse with Deadloc Racing hardened diff gears and Samix knuckles and knuckle weights. Keeping things steady are a set of Pro Line Scaler 90mm shocks. A Hitec HS7954SH Servo provides the strength to steer this bad bull.
Now to get to the eye candy of this build. Mr. Zamudio got his hands on a Proline SR5 Toyota cab and laid down the paint himself. Once the paint dried and the overspray protection removed, he laid down some decals from MCI Racing. Scale By Chris was then enlisted for their grill and snorkel for the SR5 and radiator from their Bomber lineup. Wertymade provide the protection up front with a stainless steel stinger bumper and Crawler Creations covers the rear with a custom cage. One Too Many RC Black Beauty V1 light bar lights up the night runs with the help of a HeyOK light switch controller. All this work sits on a set of CNC Custom wheels that have been smothered with Pro Line Hyrax tires. Mario would like to give big thanks to his first mentor, Todd Norton, who was always there to help him out. He would also like to give thanks to his club Down With The Sickness, especially BC Race who was also available whenever Mario needed him. He also gives his sponsors a big shout out, Deadloc Racing and Wertymade. Last, but certainly not least, Mario wants to give a big thanks to Scalers Magazine for bringing him onboard and sharing his pics with the masses. So happy to have you on the team, brother! -Todd Henderson

Nick Hernandez builds some killer rigs and cages. When it came to building a rig for Axialfest 2017, there was no way it would fall short of just awe-inspiring.
adventure towing
Nick took a SCX10ii kit and left most of the internals stock. He did throw in a Tekin Pro4, Mamba Max Pro from Castle Creations and a Savox servo to make sure this rig goes where he tells it to go. From there, he set off to make this a concourse killer with a custom wood bed and cage to keep the bed protected. He added a custom exhaust and put some real work in a tow boom that’s also removable. CNC Custom wheels are surrounded by Pro Line Swamper XL’s. He finished up the build with a custom weathered cab and one off front bumper. -Todd Henderson

48 Hour challenge
Bolton Valley Ski Resort . Vermont
What could one do in 24 hours? Or 48 hours? How about 64 hours? What if you could spend that time using your RC for a good cause? Every year Radio Controlled East Coast (RCEC) does just that, hosting what has become known as the “48 Hour Challenge� in an effort to raise funds and awareness for different charities each year. For 2017, that charity would be RC 4 Dimes, part of the March of Dimes/March for Babies nonprofit. Held at Bolton Valley Ski Resort in Vermont over the Memorial Day Weekend, participants can try to tackle 12, 24, 48, or 56-hour continuous runs up and down the mountain, only stopping briefly to eat and make any needed repairs to their rigs. A support team stays at the base camp to take care of cooking and charging batteries. For some this would be their second or third time tackling the challenge, while others were experiencing it for the first time. The event organizer Trevor Rushford was setting out on an extensive, 64-hour trek himself with a RC4WD TF2 LWB. His personal account of the challenge can be read over on the RC4WD blog and is well worth the read (http:// store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-TF2-LWB-Goes-Non-stop-for-64-HOURS_b_139. html).
The event is challenging both physically and mentally, add in the variable weather conditions you encounter on a mountain and that adds another whole level of difficulty to the challenge. Being at a ski resort, it offers quite a few different trails that folks can take as I imagine traveling the same path over and over again for 12/24/48/56 hours would get awfully boring and take a heavy toll on a person’s mental state over the course of the event. When 8:00AM Monday morning rolled around and Rushford was finishing his monumental 64hour crawl, a total of $1,000 had been raised for RC 4 Dimes. If you or someone you know would like to get involved, please check out the RC 4 Dimes Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/ groups/232208270586948/) as well as the Radio Controlled East Coast website (www.radiocontrolledeastcoast.com) for updates on next year’s challenge. -Kyle St Peter

Team KNK TTC
Ohio
It was 3 days of glorious weather, tiny trucks as far as the eye can see. There were people and trucks from 19 states and Canada and Europe. There was total of 395 trucks that entered for some of the best trails, hill climb, sled pull, and the epic mud pit. This was my 3rd year to make it out and enter, they have 5 classes at KNK, they are class 1(4.19 tire and smaller) class 2 which is a stock rtr class for some of the new comers to the scale word, class 2.5 which is normally class 2 at other events, which allows for a more built truck, and of course the crazy builds of class 3, and one of the classes that helps build the scene the kids class. The Kirby’s do a great job to make sure that all the kids go home with a prize for entering, and top 10 for the other 4 classes. Then there are the door prizes which in total ended up being 20,000 dollars which had everything from tires to signed rigs which axial donated. So if your in Ohio in the beginning of June then head out to the KNK Farm bring your rigs and have the best time at the best place this side of the Mississippi, Oh yea and make sure your rigs are waterproof and love to sling that Midwest mud in the Kirby’s mud pit. So I would love to thank the Kirby’s for there great hospitality, there great facility, and all the sponsors that sent products out for us to go home with. Adam J

Danny Huynh
The One and Only...
In this issue’s Builder Spotlight, I got a chance to chat for a bit with a builder you all may know: Danny Huynh. His mind-blowing builds are everywhere on the interweb. If you haven’t seen his work before, please try hard not to drool all over your screen right now. If you have seen his work, please try hard not to drool all over your screen right now. Danny was nice enough to give me a little info about him and his builds. So, enjoy the words and I know you will enjoy the pictures...
> Where are you from? Sydney Australia > How long have you been into RC? 5 years > What was your first RC model? Tamiya Avante re-release > When did you start building custom RCs? All started from painting 1/10 drift shells for my Tamiya TB03 VDS. > What got you started? The love of drift cars, how scale they look with all the different body shells and wheels one can mix and match to liking.
> I notice a lot of post-apocalyptic, Mad Max vibe in your builds. Is that where you get your inspiration for your builds? No, not Mad Max. I haven’t seen any of the old Mad Max movies. It just happens to turn out like that style. I don’t get a lot of influence from movies, but do like the post-apocalyptic, steampunk, cyberpunk looks of everything. I think my influences are from photography and WW2 aircraft designs. > Any other inspirations? Yes, I’m a photographer by trade and always loved vintage photography. And always love the look and designs of WW2 aircrafts. Then there’s music, I listen to music everyday while I create.
> Do you have any plans for the future? I’ll try and keep building, painting and photography until I get bored of it. But it’s hard to get bored when creativity is involved. But I don’t like to plan things. Just one day at a time for me. The future is too far to be planning. > Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give a shout out to? Yes, big thanks to RC companies that I have worked with on their rigs. RC4WD, Axial, Proline, XRAY, Vanquish Products and Savox.

neck of your wood
Coming straight out of the Ocean Springs, Mississippi area are the RC Outlaws. The group started about a year and a half ago when their local hobby shop, that was complete with a crawler track, shut down. Fueled with the passion and dedication to RC, Scotty Cuevas didn’t let the shop closure stop him from doing what he loved. He gathered some close friends and started building a course of their own. After a year of hard work, they now have monthly comps with 3 courses and 10 gates per course. Each course is designed to be challenging for all Class 1, 2 and 3 with plenty of rocks, trenches, a covered bridge and even a rope bridge. The comps continue to grow and are drawing in crowds from hours away. The future is looking bright for the RC Outlaws with plans to hold The Gulf Coast Championships in 2018. Follow them on Facebook and they also have a YouTube Channel. -Todd Henderson

over the pon
Well the gelande 2 landrover D90 is built. it drives great it looks super realistic and I’m totally satisfied, apart from I’m not !! I have a small confession to make. Many years ago I got 3 strong addictions, the first was and still is my main one, rc cars, it doesn’t matter what size shape or style, secondly is the need tool compete with them and lastly is the customising them... Some people like “box art” cars and yes don’t get me wrong there are some cars out there that look like fantastic copies of real race cars or scale offroad vehicles, but and its a very big one ! I have always put my own personal touch into my rc collection and this one is no different.....
Happy as a Landy in mud
From scale to scaling ... As by now you will have realised this truck is going to get some modifications. The main aim of these modifications is not only to have a customised rig but to go from a scale offered to scaling mountains , well within reason. My main aim is to upgrade,modify and evolve the standard rig into a scale competition truck so as I can compete in the RRCi scale nationals 2014. I’m going to use widely available parts to start with that everyone can get hold of from RC-bitz so that it is possible for you to use some or all of the parts ive chosen.. Getting Stuck in As most of you reading this will know that using any form of rc cars at some point we are going to get it stuck in an undrivable position, be that our top level touring car nose into a track marker with no reverse, our basher buggy on its roof after a failed jump and of course our scale offroader stuck in the mud or trying to drive it up that mountain. Normally this is no problem, a quick flick of the foot or gentle replacement by a track marshall and its all ready to go.This however is not all that true to scale and is a definite no no in scale competitions. So with this in mind I once again looked towards the full size offroaders and one thing that they all have and use in all situations is some form of winch . So I called the great people over at RC-BITZ and ordered a Bulldog 9300XT Wireless Winch from RC4WD,this 1/10 scale winch is fitted with a brushed motor connected to a reduction gearbox all housed in a steel alloy housing, this gives this great little addition a Max pull rate of 2KG (4.4lbs) enough to help get you out of any trouble or just help not to hit the gate markers in a competition. This comes fitted with a very scale looking Teflon coated steel cable and an RC4WD king kong steel winch hook. There are many ways to fix this to your rig , I have in the past mounted my winch inside the vehicle for looks and practicality, but on this Landrover build I want the finished look to be like an expedition truck.To give it this look I chose the new ARB replica winch bumper.
This bolts directly to the front of the already built chassis, i chose to remove the kit bumper for a more realistic look and then spaced the angle bracket supplied with the new bumper by 5mm to give clearance for the body but keep it tight up against the front as much as possible to help with the approach angle.. while im talking about approaching things and the front of the rig i also chose to add a steering guard better known as a bash guard ... even though the standard kit has the lower steering link behind the axle as shown in the previous article and the servo mounted on the chassis ive fitted the guard for 2 reasons , firstly to protect the servo horn, top link and front pumpkin from any rocks or branches that could get up in amongst them and secondly yes you guessed it for scale looks.. Well thats the front end all kitted out with some very nice upgrades. So lets have a look at the sides, and especially the bottom edge of the body that sits there nicely between the wheels and is very prone to getting caught up on things that the front has managed to get past,over or through. what we need then is something to protect this vulnerable area and that comes in the form of what some call rock sliders , some call tree sliders they run along each side of the body, from just behind the front wheel to just before the rear wheel. The ones ive gone for are from RC4WD and available from RC-Bitz these sliders are made from round steel are fitted to a flat steel plate and come powder coated in black and are ready to fit.They just need to be bolted to the two chassis outriggers on each side of the rig sandwiching the body along the sill giving great protection to the lower edge and help let you just slide over rocks and branches..
Rack and roll Now we have tricked out the land rover ready to hit the trail, an expedition through the jungle or as i plan on doing, the 2014 UK scale natts competition, it needs somewhere to store all the things needed to help you along your way and to get you out of trouble. RC4WD have one again come to my aide with a fantastically true to scale roof rack, with a combined external full roll cage with rear ladder and front screen surround.. this is bolted to the body and requires 6 small holes drilling after using the old rule of measure twice and drill once..while i was fitting this i thought that this would be a perfect time to add the scale breather snorkel to the body .. this is an RC4WD item is purely to give more scale realism and hasn’t got any practical use, but looks ace.. due to the extra weight of this roofrack and roll cage item the shell was sitting lower on the chassis , to counter this i have adjusted the shocks to give some more ride height and preload.. over the next few weeks i will be running the rig to see if i need to increase the stiffness of the springs or add damper oil. To also offset the raised centre of gravity due to the roofrack i have added some stick on tyre weights to the wheels before remounting the tyre , to give more wheel weight helps in lowering the centre of gravity too make the driving the rig more stable and stop it rolling over on side hills or over obstacles and of course staying away from the gate markers in a competition.
Have a good night We all like using our radio controlled cars as much as possible and not letting things stop us even the dark of night. With this in mind ive added an RC4WD light kit this includes a central control box with enough slots for 12 individual led lights.. i have chosen to use 6 of these with a row of roof mounted spot lights and 2 for the headlights... as this is primarily going to be a comp rig i will keep it with just the forward facing lights like this for now, but i have a spare 4 slots for any future updates like rear lights and maybe some more front spots.. so that is my Gelande 2 landrover defender upgraded to be more like a competition or expedition trial rig as ever ive tried to keep it looking as scale realistic as possible.. in an article closer to the scale nationals i will show you how i fill up this rack with items to help with the driving of the rig and to maximise scale points and how to setup the rig for competition use,good winch techniques to how to approach certain types of gates and explain just how a scale competition works.... -Kevin Dent
