Reign K2-4 9.5" wb Pajero...er..Bronco build Well since it is nearly impossible to get hold of one of those damn Landy hard bodies (even with Kaetwo helping me look) and I have had this Pajero metaltop hard body sitting on my garage collecting dust, for about 2 years now, I thought I would finally use the 'jero to build up my k2-4 chassis. So I gathered up my K2-4 scale chassis, TLT axles & parts, Pajero body, 1.9 hummer rims & BFG MT tires, Tamiya diesel leaf springs, Diaz shackles, and some other random delrin, stainless tube and hardware. I'm still waiting on my RC4WD R2 trany, but I though I could take the extra holiday time and start building my K2-4 scale rig with the 9 1/2" wheelbase the Pajero body requires. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4a.JPG I decided on this build to do a leaf sprung rear and a 3 bar w/panhard front suspension (just like the real Pajeros... HAHAHA what ever). So I marked & drilled the chassis rails to accept the TLT suspension stays. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4b.JPG For the rear I used the 2-hole suspension stays, one on each side, for the front of the leaf mount. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4c.JPG And the 1-hole suspension stays, one on each side, for the rear shackle mount. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4d.JPG I mounted the front of the leaf to the upper hole. The lower hole I may use in the future for an anti-wrap type link. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4e.JPG At the rear of the leaf I used some Diaz shackles and fabbed some revolver-type blocks from delrin. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4f.JPG I attached the shackles onto the leafs http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4g.JPG And attached the revolver blocks to the shackles & rear suspension stay. Extended: http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4h.JPG Collapsed: http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4i.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4j.JPG To attach the axle to the leaf springs I cut a channel into a block of delrin and cut the block to length. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4k.JPG I used a screw to hold both the block into place and the leaf into the block. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4l.JPG On to the front axle... |
Looks to be off to a nice start ;) Any chance of the delrin parts for this build becoming ReignRc products? |
OK now the front axle. A 3-bar w/panhard and coil springs. First I attached some suspension stays to the chassis. A 2-hole stay to the passenger side of the chassis and a 1-hole stay on the drivers side. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4m.JPG Then I took a pair of Associated front buggy springs and simply screwed them to the axles. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4n.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4o.JPG I made up two identical links using some of the TLT threaded shafts and rod ends. I then attached them to the suspension stays (one on the drivers side and one to the lower hole on the passenger side stay) http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4p.JPG I took one 1-hole suspension stay and one 2-hole suspension stay and cut the outside tab off each with a dremel. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4q.JPG I attached the suspension stays to the axle and then the links on the chassis to those stays. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4r.JPG I then made a shorter link from a TLT threaded shaft and rod ends to fit the 3rd link of the suspension and attached it as well. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4s.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4t.JPG I drilled holes to coincide with the holes in the axles and with screws, mounted the springs to the chassis, as I did with the axles. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4u.JPG Now for the Panhard rod. I again made a link using TLT parts for the Panhard rod. I attached one end to the servo plate mount hole on the axle and for the other end I attached it to a TLT steering ball connector that I mounted to the chassis. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4v.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4w.JPG I then cut some stainless steel tube to length to sheath all of the links. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/k2-4x.JPG |
damn you guys... im hooked on this scale thing now... ime not even (nor will i ever be) done with my K2-3L longbed K10, ive got a highlift body sitting on the chopping block right now... and i still need to use the defender 90 body in the closet too..... |
So here is what I have gotten done on the long holiday weekend. A great start of I say so myself. Hopefully I can find the time to finish it real soon. http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/K2-4y.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/K2-4z.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/K2-4za.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/K2-4zb.JPG http://www.reignrc.com/misc/K2-4build/K2-4zc.JPG Next I think I will be figuring out how I am going to mount the shocks. Stay tuned Scale addicts."thumbsup" -PF |
On the pan hard the screw that goes into the axle is going to break of. I did the same exact thing and when it rolls, the side to side motion breaks the axle housing. Just put a longer scew in. ''thumbsup" |
very cool. i wanna build a scale rig to go along with my hi lift |
Very cool nice work. Looking forward to seeing more. |
Have you ramped it yet??? Im interested in seeing how it does with those shackles??? Great looking rig Pinch you and K2 have been busy"thumbsup". |
Wow, nice job pinch. So since you used springs in the rear you wont need a panhard, is that correct? Are you mounting your steering on the chassis? I'll be starting my new landy build shortly, sooo addicting:lol: |
That is a sweet looking ride. Love the short wheelbase. Can't wait to see more. |
Thanks guys... Quote:

Thats great!!...Clean fab. I like the way you mounted your coils, but it seem's like the coil good come loose. |
Excellent work on this one... I really like the delrin spring blocks for the axles. What did you cut the channel with? |
Holy Shat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well that puts my scale rig to sham. Well done!!!!!!!!!! I can see that the K2-4 chassis builds are going to be off the hook crazy with all the build ideas you guys come up with. DAAAANG that look good!!! 8) |
hey pinch what is the length of that chassis? |
