Samil 20 4x4 utility Truck

[HugoBiermann]

With all the free time lately I also managed to finish the cad for this. Now its just waiting for the lock downs to be lifted and to make some real money again.

The 70mm shocks are supposedly sitting in the country at the moment. Will be sitting in that warehouse for a long time still...

So its just the Shocks and Rear Axle that I don't have for this. The rest will be done by the Laser guys.

I'll run this on my GT3C, either a DS3218 or JX HV5223 Servo, simple 1060 ESC and some LED's front and rear.

I tested the 35T Motor on the drive gear I have and it seems like it might work for now. If its a problem I'll just increase the turn count. This thing will obviously never crawl...

One more addition to the parts collection. Got the rear axle.
Painted and prepped.





Now to scrape some cash together for the chassis before shops close for Christmas...

I'm a sucker for cab overs, even better with a military theme. So I heavily dig this project.

The rear housing looks so clean it's like you printed it in that color.

Thanks.

Still at it, just very slowly... Those HG axles are nice for what you pay. Already thinking about a future build that can use these rears... And they’re not locked either.

Got some chassis rails trimmed up. Should cut some braces soon. A front bush bar is busy being built out of abs too. Will snap some photos sometime.

Waiting for some abs glue to cure/evaporate then I can sand and do final assembly of the container frame and tire platform.






Got the different c channel sizes for the chassis. Just needs cutting to length.

What program are you drawing this in ? Is it a freebie or pay app?

This is looking really good Hugo!

That’s at nice scale strap for the tires, where did you get it at?
