winnerone and axialjeepsters bentmetalworkz c1 TACO

[AxialJeepster]

so my part is done. this is what i came up with for a very hard to build around taco body.

thanks to railripper for the 2 Tacoma hard bodies!!

this chassis was 100% hand made from the ground up. pretty darn heavy duty for a C1 but we must remember.... this is for Troy (Winnerone) AKA "desTroy"... so lets hope it holds up....

from what i know it will be MRC based drivetrain and have interior in time. I will leave it up to him to add specs and more info/pics...

off to Troy and the few pics I have.

I'd like to see a side shot of that body~ frame looks real nice! Do you braze everything together or spot weld? if you weld what welder do you use?

Beautiful work man. This is going to be a sweet ride!

[winnerone23]

Oh man oh man oh man! I have been prepping for this....





One for this taco an one for the next build.. Maybe Ryan has a pic of that, atleast the body maybe....

I'll do a full build an parts list.. But.. It will be a mrc drive train..
Lcc modded front axle, pro rear axle, pro tranny with aluminum idler an stock diff gear with metal locker..
Tires.. Pre ordered Pitbull Growlers..
Mongoose system
Hitec servo, 7954 or 7950, maybe cs-170
Cc bec
Spektrum rx

I think that's it for now..

thank you very much!!
noooo brazing. i used to braze my own stuff and its not a bad way to do some stuff.
this is just a plain ol' MIG welder.. and i try to weld at least 3 points around a bar if I cant get all the way around it.

yep and here it is!! was wondering if you would see this!
glad you did. and thanks again!

also PLEASE do let me know.


Ill say the hard part about building this was the fact that its going to have MRC axles, the cabs are very scrunched up on thesde bodies(not that it means they arent bad ass) just makes things a lil ruff for building around.

or maybe it was just me. maybe Im a pure bread JEEP guy and yotas are just a PITA for me.. turned out good tho.

thanks everyone.

[winnerone23]

Better watch that, pita yota, crap! :eek:

You have another one to do yet!

Well in that case, next yota I find is gonna be 1/20 scale and Im gonna want a full steel Exo cage cage around the damn thing...inside and out lol!

[Jeykito]

We'll talk.

[AxialJeepster]

ahhh you guys are killin me haha.. I dont mean anything my PITA. just that body is just that to build around. PAIN IN THE ARSE.

I would build another one now standing on my head. maybe.

thanks guys.

[winnerone23]

Sorry Ryan.. been too long.. might have to get out from under this build..

I have one of those bodies as well, it sucks that the bed is wider than the cab. I removed the "Haunch?" on the rear fender, cut it down and put it back together, now my bed is the same width as the cab. Unfortunately I used Max Stone Axles and with the junfac wideners the front axle didn't hold up. good luck with this build, I'll be real interested to see how you make out.
