I love your truck. I'm wanting to build a tundra also.

Thanks man. I like it, but its not quite 1/10 scale. I am tossing around the idea of building a class 3 TTC version. :-)

See the videos?

Ryan,
What an awesome Tundra build... I keep telling myself - must finish D90 first! And my Wraith! But there's always room for another project!

Cheers,
Todd

Just some more scale goodies. :-)

I just got in some scale hubs today to add that little bit extra to the truck. :-)

Nice, I really like scale hubs. They're such a cool little detail, and they add a lot.

Thanks, I think I need a small smidge of red paint on the lockout hubs to set it off. :-)

Well the other day while practicing with Dave and Eli, I heard a grinding noise that sounded like a spur gear giving out. Today I finally decided to tear into it and see what was wrong. The Kimbro spur gear was fine, but the top shaft was all wobbly. I feared the worst. Sure enough, after opening the tranny case I found a mess. the two center bearings had blown out and competely trashed the races and spread bearings all over the inside of the transmission, dinging up my Robison Racing gears. Ugghhh. I cleaned all the crap out and just need to find some new bearing. I think the gears are ok and I will put them back in. Sadly my spare tranny was already missing all these bearing. Oops! :o

So after Dave came to my rescue and brought new bearings, I reassembled the Tundra and made sure it worked, then while it was upside down, I had an epiphany! I had gotten a Speedweigand Scale Oil Pan quite some time ago, but could never figure out how to mount it. Today it just clicked! I trimmed a little notch in it to fit over the chassis cross member and used a small screw to mount it on. Perfect. 1 more scale point and it looks pretty cool too. Just one more small detail that makes a rig pop. :-)






You can order these at Speedweigand.com and you can see more options for wraith and SCX10's here:
