Volvo V70 Station Wagon I picked up this body about a year ago. Planned on building a 4 wheel independent chassis for it, but nationals is coming up quick and I cant run last years trucks so I stripped the 4runner and got a pretty good start. Here it is sitting on the 4runner chassis! Looked great but I need to start over with my new chassis! http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psxpnxogi6.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...pss82ouwvm.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...pswqsbzubo.jpg All the 4runner drivetrain bolted to the new chassis, motor mount, and servo/winch mounts. http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psdch39q5g.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psi03yndpd.jpg Had to space the mounts out now that the servo mounts are made into the chassis. I'll be making new ones 1/4" wider. http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps4lakz98x.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psj7e31cd0.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psxugnkkpc.jpg Photobucket is acting up, so that's all you get for tonight! So far I got new links built all around, trans turned into a tcase, motor mount milled and filled, most of the electronics mounted. Ordered MIP shafts for it, heyok 4 amp winch controller (not gonna let a slow winch keep me off the podium this year), 2 new 4.19 claws to replace the blow outs. Still to come for the mechanics of this rig will be a new front axle, beef tubed with 2 short wraith universals and xr/wraith knuckles. Plan to have a 60+ pointed grocery getter in the end! |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon I'd drive that in 1:1, love it! |

Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon Can't wait to see this thing progress! 8) |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon I've actually got it running and driving, just need to get some time to sit at the computer and update the thread! Just got a fresh build dropped in my lap tonight that has to be on display at king of the hammers in 2 weeks! Look for the DC custom fan booth if your going! There will be a very fast build thread in the 1.9 section soon! I'm excited for the build, but its going to cut into my person build time for nationals. |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon No real progress, just the pics that photobucket wouldn't let me post the other night! http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psrkefp6zk.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps4vhqpx8p.jpg Still working on lowering the body down. http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psvvtxwxpa.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psoyrpnonj.jpg I don't really care for the ackerman angle so It will get the xr mod soon. http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psc30pxku5.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psjktw131b.jpg Made my bent links! Started way to long so I ended up bending them way to much to get the length! I'm sure I'll re do them. http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psggyo6gpd.jpg ToyZuki transfercase installed (waiting on MIP shafts from RPP hobby). FXR, holmes 30t, and spectrum receiver mounted up front, and a 1300 3s mounted where the motor weight used to be. Heyok 4amp controller on the way too! http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...pskzfe1zah.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psc9mn5zla.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psvevwdkak.jpg |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon Looking good Ben! That chassis would be perfect for a Unimog build........;-);-) I thought about building one of these, love the Volvo Cross Country! |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon how much shorter is the new t-case compared to the axial. is there not enough clearance to 180 the case and have the intermediate shaft go strait into it. thats how i have my C2 set up and it takes allot of power away from it. i run 4cell and it runs like its on 3cell. i can only run 2 courses before i need a new lipo. |

I don't have a side by side pic of the case and an axial on photo bucket, but I'll text it to you. |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon Also I've been making the mounting brackets by hand. I think when I draw it in cad, I'm going to add a hole so the case can be mounted on its side, keeping it narrow and putting the input shaft on top under a center console. Giving the customer options. |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon This is awesome ! Can't wait to check it out . |

Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon Finally a little time to work on the class1! Nationals is approaching quickly and I have a long way to go, plus I haven't started my super secret class 2 build yet! Got the body down where I wanted it. The front is almost completely compressed and the rear is fully drooped! Just the way I like it to set:lmao: http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psuqrlxauu.jpg Front bumper is almost finished! Mostly bras but some thin copper in there too! http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psd6ohseth.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...pskrqjk0x9.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps4twg53pi.jpg http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/s...psu3ggirrk.jpg My phone takes horrible pictures so I'll stop now. Ordered a new phone today though:) |
Re: Volvo V70 Station Wagon That's going to be a killer yuppie off road rig! Bravo:mrgreen: |

Looking back through your build. Noticed I replied to a video request in your thread. Must have seen it on my phone and thought it was in my thread (I'm subscribed to yours). My bad. Like your build. Wishing I had built mine based on taller tires. I don't like my fender gap. I've been thinking about raising it up to get more tire under it. Can't talk myself into to doing it.
