Default Chino63's Power Wagon

Here goes another one. I was fortunate enough to get a Toyzuki chassis from the man himself at Axialfest last year, thanks Ben! Unsure of what it would become, it sat unopened until last week when I heard of an upcoming comp. Out came the Toyzuki cassis and dug up some parts as well as draining of my PayPal account.

Here's the start of hopefully good things to come. Clearance the chassis rails for things that need clearance and new panhard mount.

I made a sleeve to keep the locker locked in the front TRX-4 axle. Now for motor placement, obviously as low as possible only question is forward facing or rearward facing? I like forward facing.

Made a mount from some 3/16" 6061 plate. Scribbled some scribbles and crudely slotted with a slotting device. RC4WD Yota XVD's for transfering power, long side milled and threaded, running through a support bracket. Also some more aluminum for connecting to the transfer case. Sits nice and low in the chassis

Alright Dean, this is going to be a cool, very informative build. Like I said, you are the master! I know one thing, I need a Mill!!! And some of your skills. Everything looks so clean, I'm surely staying tuned on the on this one. Keep up the cool design work.

Thanks Ernie, I don't know about "the master", I'm just a guy addicted to making things fit that shouldn't. Lol
I have zero formal training, learned as i went along. started with a Grizzly mini mill I got off Craigslist. Made a trade for a full size mill my friend had collecting dust next door at his shop, best trade ever! I'm sure you would pick it up easily and be making cool stuff in no time.

I know a guy who has a hook up on older machine shop equipment when you decide you really need one.

Haha, thanks Ben! That looks like a killer set up but no need for the overdrive t-case, you'll see why soon enough.

There is that weird "thud" sound from the bottom side of my computer table.

I like what you do with the motor, i have been brainstorming for a while how to get them lower, and how low one can actually go before running into things like links.

For the machine wanting people, maybe get a lathe instead, you can "mill" to a large extend on a lathe by putting your item on the chuck, but you cant really late on a milling machine to the same degree.

What's the ratio of the transfer case? How are you getting enough reduction with no transmission? I love the design and simplicity of your motor mount and use of parts for the output shaft into the transfer case. Nice work!!

with every build your machining skills are getting better and better! That motor mount looks awesome! I remember when you were making chino clone skids for me in a vise with hack saw and file

The front is art - but I think the back is going to blow peoples minds.

Um, there can only be one Power Wagon Toyzuki.

So I give up.

Thanks, it's about as low as I dare put it, any lower and there will be all kinds of issues.

Thank you Ben. The t-case is 1:1. All the reduction I need is in the axles.

Thanks man, wish I could get it lower but due to the portals, it's a tough compromise. It's running now and is indeed a fun rig but as all new builds, needs some dialing in

The rear is what makes it all possible.

Yes you do, worth the coin for sure. Works great and accepts modification and customization easily.

Thanks Matt, I'm sure you will have a stellar Toyzuki PW if you choose to do so.

Here's some more progress...

Made some stand offs for the rear body mounts, longer servo mounts for the servo winch and lopped off 1" of the bed.
