I realise I like to go fast so I'm building another semi go fast rig. But I still want it to be a crawler when required so eschewing the usual independent front suspension for a solid axle. Designing the whole thing in Tinkercad. With the body, cage, skid, interior and axles all 3d printed. The body was designed by Alexby with a remix for the wider pumped guards. Axles will be ar44 based with SSD Pro axle centres. The front will be a offset pumpkin. Building it around 4.19 tyres. Probably BFG KM3 Predators. SSD Champion wheels will be used, with a custom bronze coating. I have the capabilities to braze cages, but the learning from Brocky, my first brazed tube chassis, that the extra weight is such a detriment to crawling Will be hoping to run it in C2. May have two rear suspension setups. Long travel with trailing arms and a crawler setup with 4 link. Should be easy as swapping the skid. Tempted to go real old-school and use a dual RC4WD Ohlins shock setup. But details like that will come as they do. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |

Bit more progress on the designs. I'm diy building a new 3d printer so can't actually start printing anything til that's done. I also decided to try my hand at designing a transmission. 25% overdrive, both axles spin the same direction. Chevron cuts gears. Going to see how they go strength wise printed.
