The moldings are styrene halfrod (i.e. a rod split down the middle)

Thanks SACCO, for giving the correct answer to his question.

Thanks - I'm not sure, bot most likely.

How about a civilian convertible "beach-truck" version?
Sundeck done!!

Vforce · 02-21-2008, 12:18 PM

Anyway - I'll soldier on with this styrene cutting and gluing

Never mind Mr. Superman and Mr Batman

Also - I got these geared motors in the mail today. They are gems. No set plan, but I'll find a use for them.

Trikster · 02-21-2008, 12:38 PM

Most excellent! Love it. Where did you get the motors?

karlos · 02-21-2008, 03:40 PM

Oh yeaaaa! Armour plating for the front end... Just gives me goosebumps!

I absolutely love the detail you are putting into this build. Keep up the excellent work!

chino63 · 03-15-2008, 11:45 AM

Damn, this thing is coming along great! Where are you going to put the batteries? I used 2/3A's for my 6x6. Two 6 cell saddle packs stored in the fuel cells. I wired them in parallel and get about 40 min run time with a Magnetic Mayhem motor. That way they are completely hidden and help with the stability during side hills.

Vforce · 03-15-2008, 12:49 PM

Thanks to both of ya

A 7,2 v stick pack will go under the fifth wheel.
With the cab, 3-speed, motor and all the other hardware and electronics up front, I needed to put some weight towards the rear.

Btw - I looove that 6x6 GL of yours

chino63 · 03-15-2008, 04:38 PM

Thanks!

kuatto · 03-19-2008, 08:27 PM

Any updates?Can't wait to see the finished rig.

tjb · 03-19-2008, 09:11 PM

This thing js keeps getting better and better! Awesome job on the scale bolts!

Vforce · 03-23-2008, 10:35 AM

A lot of styrene cutting and glueing - ended up as a grill...

Lost some drive for building the last couple og days, so decided to hook up some power......Time for some 8x8 sofa crawling

chino63 · 03-23-2008, 11:23 AM

Great work! I wish Norway was closer to the States. I'd love to see that thing up close! You do incredible work!

500swmag · 03-23-2008, 11:30 AM
