Here are the parts I have aquired so far. Axial SCX10 frame, axles, trans, links.
MSD 2.2 Delrin wheels with Flat Irons. Traxxas Big Bore shocks & ball ends, Losi drivelines.
Tamiya Hilux cab. Novak Rooster Crawler ESC and motor. And Spektrum reciever. Still have a few parts to get.

Looks like you're ready to get started. I see enough to make a roller.

Hoss138 · 02-18-2012, 10:35 PM

I got some progress today. These Axial's go togeather pretty easy. When you buy all the parts seperatly it is more expensive,
and there is lots of hardware missing. Need to go back to the LHS for more stuf.

Hoss138 · 02-19-2012, 01:32 PM

First custom part finished. Had a little time before work so I brazed up a little 4 link mount for the rear axle. What do you think?
I have to get more hardware and remove the stock 3 link bracket.

Last night I worked on it a bit. I cautiously cut into my Hilux cab.(Scarry...) Dove nosed it, I think it came out pretty good. Need to get a grill. Today I started working on the front bumper. Also ordered a Reign Hilux cab back and STRC high clearance nuckles from RPP last night.

Hoss138 · 02-21-2012, 12:07 PM

Finished the front bumper last night.

Layout on my rusty sheet metal...lol....

Bumper front and back.

Bumper brazed togeather.

Blurry pic of the finished bumper.

Look what on the counter when I got home from work. RPP Hobby's service really does rock. I ordered these sunday evening.
Today I dove in and ordered a Dinky RC "Divorce Kit" Gr7 Gear reduction and "split skid" transfer case combo. Also a Dinky RC white "Yota" interior.

Thanks, I am pleased with it also. I used 2 different vises, pliers and auto-body hammers and dolly's, files, sandpaper a lot of time and patience.

Hoss138 · 02-22-2012, 02:35 PM

Had to make a trip to the LHS at lunch for some more parts. Picked up the grill, upper links, and new front and rear link mounts. 4 link for the rear and 3 link with a panhard bar in the front. Now I will have someting to do tonight.

These mounts are from Bruce at RC Country Hobbies. The middle one is a servo mount also.

Hoss138 · 02-22-2012, 04:36 PM

Got the grill cut down.

darkmanx · 02-23-2012, 08:59 PM

Looks good man keep it up!!!

Hoss138 · 02-26-2012, 01:17 PM

My new Dinky RC "Yota" interior showed up yesterday....YAY!!! Man this thing is cool! Very detailed and fits perfectly. I cant wait to start detailing it out.

TXJeeper1 · 02-26-2012, 01:24 PM

Good looking build so far. I really like those 4 link mounts you got very nice.

Hoss138 · 02-26-2012, 01:34 PM

I also picked up some 3Racing CVD's for the front. Now with these and the STRC high clearance knuckles, she'll turn.....

Hoss138 · 02-26-2012, 01:45 PM

Here she is mocked up last night. This started as a 2.2, but I think I like it better as a 1.9. (might need to move this thread)

rcscaler · 02-26-2012, 10:57 PM

Hoss138 · 02-27-2012, 11:59 AM
