The Unlimited Desert Racer combines Pro-Scale performance with extreme 6s
power for the most thrilling RC driving experience possible. With a host of
available upgrades and scale accessories, we will demonstrate the ultimate Pro-Scale
custom build. We will add satin black chrome components, including the
rear axle housing, bumpers, suspension arm panels, rear shock mounts, skid plate,
upper arms, and tube chassis. Suspension components are available in various
styles and colors. We will use the Fox shock caps and blue aluminum trailing
arms and upper links. These aluminum parts feature real billet 6061-T6
aluminum--not any lower cost, less durable alloys. The trailing arms feature hollow
ball ends, providing the required articulation without any unwanted
movement. Accessories like scale window nets and aluminum inner panels will add
realism and customize the look. We will go with the blue panels for this build.
We can't forget about the electronics. A high-torque 400 brushless servo provides
maximum steering authority in the toughest terrain. The LED light kit
includes high-intensity light bars for the front, rear, and roof, as well as a
high voltage amplifier to power the system. The lights feature smart controls
for the brake lights and can be used with the Traxxas link app for custom
configurations. Like the other components, the system is fully waterproof for all
weather adventures, day or night. For running in snow, sand, and loose terrain,
pre-assembled paddle tires are also available. To complete the custom look,
we will use the clear body and interior. Follow all instructions and warnings
from the paint manufacturer when painting the body. These components can
be installed using basic RC tools. See a list of all parts and tools used for
this build in the description. A clean, open area is ideal for the build
to keep track of all parts and hardware. With the model powered off and batteries
removed, take off the body. We will begin disassembling the body including the
chassis, suspension, and rear end components. We will strip the model down
before installing the performance parts and upgrades.
We'll start adding the satin black chrome parts, including these lower and
upper front arms. Now we'll add the upper arm mounts, then the front center section.
Next, the front skid plate and bumper.
Satin-plated sway bar arms will provide additional styling. We will continue
building out the tube chassis with the black chrome side sections and center support.
Let's see how the satin black chrome looks with the custom body interior.
Now we will round out the chrome look with the rear center section, shock mounts and
bumper. We will go ahead and install the blue aluminum inner panels on the
chassis. The final black chrome piece we will install is the rear axle housing,
which we can assemble using the pre-built rear differential and
components from the original axle housing. Now we will add the blue
aluminum trailing arms and rear upper links.
We will outfit the model with a high-intensity LED light kit for improved
steering response and strength. We will install the high-torque 400 waterproof
servo. We will give the shocks a sleek racing look with aluminum Fox shock caps
and fine-tune the performance with silver progressive-rate springs.
Additional shock bodies, springs, and caps are available for increased strength and
styling. We will install the steel wheel hubs and blue aluminum wheel nuts.
With a host of upgrades and accessories, this Unlimited Desert Racer is ready to
take on the toughest terrain in style.
Just one more thing--a custom painted racing body will complete the Pro-Scale
look. With plenty of available accessories, the possibilities are
endless for creating your own ultimate Pro-Scale build. To learn more about the
