|  PROJECT: Brute!!!!
So I've been want to try my hand at styrene. So I figured what the hell ill try a brute!! This is the first time I've ever tackled anything like this. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. This stuff is real easy to work with.     I needed a little break from the fumes!!lol So I started messing around with the chassis. I'm using a scx frame and axles. And a r3 tranny and hammer transfer. Here it is all mocked up!!!   Also started to mock up the 3-link and pan hard mount!!  Still got a lot to do!!! |

Nice start! Don't be afraid to try. The setup looks good. It should be a really sharp rig by the time it's done.  |

just keep that cap on the glue. it likes to evaporate pretty quickly if the cap is left off. these bottle also topple easily. i made a holder out of a chunk of foam that it fits in like a coozie so it wont fall and spill everywhere. everyone is making one of these now... |

Thanks guys!!! Yeah I know these seem to be the craze right now! Lol. It just seemed like a good project for a first timer! Haha. Yea I've noticed the glue kinda got thick. I got to head to the LHS to pick some more stuff. Last edited by axman; 11-20-2012 at 08:49 AM. |
