MONGO - built specifically to steal exotic cars off a speeding train A collaborator and I have been brainstorming this build for over a month now. Many ideas were thrown around like a true hydraulic steering system and custom axles. In the interest of motivating myself to get this build going I decided to just start this thread and start bending some tubes - focusing on the chassis first. Eventually a 2nd chassis will be built for rock racing but the first one will be strictly for slow crawling. The inspiration is the Mongo from the movie Fast Five http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13140712380001http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13140712280001http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13140712190001http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13140712100002http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13140711850002 Thanks JS412 for working out the CAD for the cab http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13140702240001 Body paneling is pretty sparse but every attempt will be made to conceal all RC objects ie. servo, tranny, battery etc. Tube material will be 3/16 OD x .0375 wall chromoly for the mains and 3/16 OD x .020 wall stainless steel for support. Tube bender here i come...... |
That thing looks pretty massive, I can't imagine it'll be too hard to hide stuff. You going to include a fake front diff cover too? :ror: |

The mystery of the half bald tire has been solved. Thank you justinart. "thumbsup" |
here is a little tease for the initial CAD mock up. This one was tossed around for the rock racer. And yes you can fit a 1/10 exotic car on the bed. :D L: ~27" W: ~12" H: ~12" http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/...hassis19V2.jpg |

SS on the left 4130 on the right. at 4 inches the SS is .2oz while the 4130 comes in at .4oz. Vital info for keeping things as light as possible. http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13141598300001 Some test bends while I calibrate my bender. Though requiring alot more force to bend, the 4130 actually bends tighter than the SS. http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13141598550001 This is the first test run of one of the most complex bends on the rig - the side hoop of the cab. This was done out of the 4130. Spent a lot of time measuring lengths/angles/radius because detailed notes now will allow this component to be duplicated faster/easier later on. http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13141599080001 |
