TRUGYOTA!! Yes another F@*! Hilux Truggy :-D
 

Well after the ECSC of 2015 in New Castle P.A. I got the itch to build my first truggy. Started out with an old SCX 10 Frame I had kicking around. Bought the new SSD Scale axles "thumbsup" . The differences is that i'm making the tuber part of the truggy out of stainless steel inconel 718 tubing. It super light weight and is very strong. On that note. I hope it doesn't suck. :-D

Now that I have the cab where I want it. Its time to start cutting up the rear of the frame.

This is all being done by gas tungsten arc welding. Its what I do :-D At the moment I'm just tack welding everything into place and will finish up the welds later on.

It's lookin great! That rear stinger should help save you from turning turtle if it falls back on a steep climb.

How did you setup your front axles? Did you uses the SSD High steer knuckles?

Re: TRUGYOTA!! Yes another F@*! Hilux Truggy :-D
 

At the moment it's just the stock SCX 10 knuckles and c-hubs. I'm using the Panhard SSD bracket that comes with the SSD axles housing.

Nice looking truck"thumbsup"

How much lighter is that tubing than say normal brake line?

Re: TRUGYOTA!! Yes another F@*! Hilux Truggy :-D
 

Extremely lighter and a ton stronger.
