Default Opedopys Tundra Truggy

I've been building this truggy and wanted to show it off


Specs:

Custom chassis w/tube bed
tlt axles
Axial tranny
not sure about wheels/tires or electronics now


Spare tire holder



This is how far I got before I ran out of silv!


So I'm gonna get the axles hung and get the suspension all worked out in the meantime.

Looks like a great start. I like how you followed the contours of the cab with the main hoop.

Thanks guys

My basement workshop flooded so I set up shop in my buddy's garage.
Well I got the bed done, I think. Not sure if I should put a support from the rock rails up to the bed. What do you guys think?




Here you can see the nuts brazed in so I can screw in a styrene panel. There will be one on for the bed floor too.


I want to make a bumper that hides the winch similar to this one.
