Competition Style Tundra by Southern Builds Fab Southern Builds flavor in a scale looking competition truck. The goal is to build a scale, competitive, fun to crawl truck with some of the best looking scale components we can get our hands on. All the welding, bending, grinding, and swearing is done at Southern Builds Fabrication "thumbsup" We are aiming for a 12 3/8 -12.5" wheelbase. The chosen scale components at the moment are as follows:
The power will come from a Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Expert 13T @ 6deg of timing fed by a 2200 3S through a FX-R. The steering duties will be carried out by a Savox 1230SG regulated by a Castle BEC @ 6V Feel free to share your opinion on this build. All criticism is welcome! On to the pics http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...29349744_n.jpg The whole build started over arguing of doing rails out of flat stock, but once Don convinced me to do a Ladder Style chassis rails the details are starting to come in naturally. Here's the transfer case mounted http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...04855907_n.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...33820407_n.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...77253727_n.jpg Yes that's a cross member that will be bolted on 8) http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...33379434_n.jpg Next will be the motor mounts 8) http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...01025857_n.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...22584379_n.jpg Ideas keep floating around for the rear cage part. Any suggestions? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...99109390_n.jpg |

Re: Competition Style Tundra by Southern Builds Fab Some light body work "thumbsup" http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...46405968_o.jpg Don threw together a quick dash 8) The bottom will serve for mounting the FXR and BEC http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...67824088_o.jpg Front is still somewhat undecided at the moment. I'd like to integrate a small light bar in the front bumper and some rock lights. What's out there people? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...41379549_o.jpg Rear door bracing came out better looking than expected with the bends to clear the cab http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...89141100_o.jpg Bulletproof dash http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...81335713_o.jpg Gotta make sure you can pull the handle :flipoff: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...06682339_o.jpg I've seen this bar on a lot of rigs and couldn't shake the extreme want to copy with a little twist http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...45427065_o.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...47167379_o.jpg Interior cage X-brace http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...89025230_o.jpg From the rear http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...48739589_o.jpg Door bars, in case future bodies may be doorless http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...41008931_o.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...66794300_o.jpg The body has been notched to fit the cross bar snug http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...65607159_o.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...65303535_o.jpg Deep feels for the X-Brace http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...62071252_o.jpg |
