Man, that's looking nice. Wish I had the equipment, knowledge, available space, etc, to do something like that

I need to seriously start teaching myself to tig in such a small scale

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

Very cool! You brazing those stack of dimes? Hard to tell.

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

Thanks guys it is all tig welded other than the front servo mount is brazed "thumbsup"

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

What TIG machine?

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

I use a Miller Dynasty 400. Very smooth machine "thumbsup"

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

Nice work! I like the start.

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

That Miller 400 is just a tad outside my RC welding budget! haha.

Thanks!

I wish it was mine but I don't have the capability to run 480v. I do most of my tig at work.

Been working on axles a bit. Made a alum panhard mount for the axle for proper Geo.....

Drilled and tapped another hole for mount in existing meat.

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

Axles 90% assembled

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

Nice "color swap" on the allows axles. I went with the black axles, but noontime the silver servo mints on both axles...with black Futaba servos.

Awesome cage work.

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

Thanx guys this had been a fun quick project for nats...

Re: 2020 class 3 comp Power Wagon (La Roca)
 

LOL I've thought about it myself, have the machine, not the desire. Keeping my RC projects in check.

Do like the effort put forth by others, nice to see the work.

Yeah, little lazy when it comes to my hobbies too. I don’t have the machine though. Only a basic mig and stick machine.

Started dash piece and painted chassis. I used a stainless flek paint on it to try and get close to the Vanquish Gray.

Also excited to try it the team garage hack trans, I built a try for a buddy awhile back with this trans and he seems to really like it.
I'm pretty happy with the build so far

Coming along,


Fuel cell and gel cell batteries mounted, a little body paint.

Also made some ultra thin rear inter fenders from alum. Put a couple dimples in it.
