Thanks Andy! Bruiser leafs aren't holding up to the punishment. I kinked one of them and it's having a hard time holding the truck up. I can't seem to get anyone to make delrin bruiser leafs so I have 3 designs I'm having cut now. Hopefully they'll be done soon. |

dooood. if you just flatten out an f350 leaf theyre the same. grind down a regular 3mm bolt for the center pin and bolt it together.

Ehhh delrin leafs would be cool. Actually the delrin leafs are just proto type pieces to play with so I can get an idea of how they work. I have another idea for making leafs that should be pretty darn cool.

You never know when you'll need air on the trail. Thanks to Bartos Chassis for putting this tank together for me. It turned out great!  Had to mount it somewhere. This was where it was mounted on the 1:1 so it was appropriate. I might repaint it like a power tank since I screwed up some of the decal on it....   |

No exciting updates... Finally tore into the front axle to see what failed. Had a good idea and found it quickly. Can't complain. This old front axle has taken some abuse! I got it replaced and up and running so I can do some crawling after work today.  Got a small 3S 1300mah lipo in so I could tuck that up under the hood. I also changed out the knuckles to RCP crawler's Super-Max aluminum knuckles. I had to take just a tad bit of material off the top and bottom to get them to work smoothly. Hopefully it climbs better. If not, then I need to shed some weight from the bed somehow.  |

Even worse, I went to drive it last night, had it on the rocks for maybe a minute and messed something up in the same area. Not sure if the whole head came off the axle like before or if it's just the pins that run through it. I think it's becuase of the new knuckles. They seemed to be just a tad bit wider than the other knuckles I had so the stub might sit away from the end of the axle just a tad bit more. If that's the case then when I turned one end of the pin would come out of the drive cup and that ain't good. I'll try to find out what happened. Not much free time in the next couple days. | |

Been a while. Truck was broke and out of commission for a bit. Wanting to get the truck done for a new series we're going to try in the summer which means I need more storage area and a better performing truck. This meant making an optional bed for comps  Not to sure what to do about articulation. It'll easily rub right now. Not sure if I should try and run bump stops or what. I don't want to do wheel wells.   |

how about just making cut outs in the bed where a wheel well would normally be? | |

Narrowed it up to clear the tires and added some details. Was just curious what the winch would look like.  |
