I recently started working on converting a bruder claas xerion to RC but after starting I decided being from the Midwest I wanted to build something that I would see working in my area. That's when I thought a 1470 would be perfect and something different that no one else has done before. I'm using a 1/16th scale redcat racing Everest crawler as a parts donor and have upgraded it to a cheaper 6 channel remote.

My progress so far. The wheel base is right at 6.5 inches which is almost perfect for 1/16th scale.

An under view of the frame. I cut up an old wire rack from a pot holder that my grandma was going to throw away for the main frame and attached balsa to it. Then I drilled holes in the balsa and used the factory holes and screws for the axle guards to attach the axles
