|  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.  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.  For the rear I used the 2-hole suspension stays, one on each side, for the front of the leaf mount.  And the 1-hole suspension stays, one on each side, for the rear shackle mount.  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.  At the rear of the leaf I used some Diaz shackles and fabbed some revolver-type blocks from delrin.  I attached the shackles onto the leafs  And attached the revolver blocks to the shackles & rear suspension stay. Extended:  Collapsed:   To attach the axle to the leaf springs I cut a channel into a block of delrin and cut the block to length.  I used a screw to hold both the block into place and the leaf into the block.  On to the front axle... Last edited by PinchFlat; 01-07-2009 at 01:04 AM. Reason: build changed a bit |

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.  Then I took a pair of Associated front buggy springs and simply screwed them to the axles.   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)  I took one 1-hole suspension stay and one 2-hole suspension stay and cut the outside tab off each with a dremel.  I attached the suspension stays to the axle and then the links on the chassis to those stays.  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.   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.  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.   I then cut some stainless steel tube to length to sheath all of the links.  Last edited by PinchFlat; 01-07-2009 at 01:06 AM. |

| 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.      Next I think I will be figuring out how I am going to mount the shocks. Stay tuned Scale addicts.  -PF Last edited by PinchFlat; 01-07-2009 at 01:07 AM. |

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"

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  |

Excellent work on this one... I really like the delrin spring blocks for the axles. What did you cut the channel with?
