|  Indy V2 (the rebuild)
some of you may or may not remeber this truck, I built it a little over a year ago. it was one of my first scale builds, tlt rear, ta01 front, pede tranny, custom gearbox to match ratio's etc....  well I have been thinking I can make it better lately.. so i asked Diaz to make me a frame (flat on both ends) and got to work... here is what i was starting with  then I tore it apart, and here is what is left [IMG]  [/IMG]and here is thr progress I made so far today, made the top mount for the front, and go tthe rear hung. I decided to go with a spring over setup to keep the ride height under control.     i need to trim the front of the rails a bit, but I dont want to do that untill i am sure of the final layout. |

only a little progress today, I spent most of the day finishing up the new workbench.. I did manage to mount up the gearbox I made to match the ta01 and tlt ratios, I had to put in a longer front shaft ( hpi dog bone filed down and one end cut off ) I still need to make a new dust cover for it yet.. I'll tend to small details after I get all the major stuff mocked up. I'm kicking around the idea of picking up a tranny from rc4wd instead of using the pede again..    |

Well, I decided to change it up a bit.. I really didnt like how the pede tanny was going to fit in this thing, and well I didnt feel like waiting for a r2 from rc4wd, so i decided to make my own, Microgoat and I hurt our brains figuring out gear ratios using gears on the shelf at the LHS (only for me to do it different anyway ) But the overall ratio is acually a little lower than we orig figured so that is good.. I also decided to clean it up and combine the unit I used to match the two different ratios as well, I also wanted to make it as compact and as far forward as possible. I now have room to run an interior if I so choose enough talking here are the pics ( note the absence of anything below the framerails, and the pic I took with an old body to show how much room I will have inside the cab.)        i will make a motor mount next, this is the general placement of where i would like it to end up...  tons of room..   |
