love those wheels and tires for it

It was going to be TIG welded but my scratch start TIG is to hot for small tubing. So I'm using a gasless wire MIG welder.

Are you going to powder coat the chassis.

hitman46mod · 10-09-2009, 06:15 AM

Most likely just paint, the colors he used are Rustoleum colors. I will have to see if I can match them with PC colors or not. I was looking at home depot and found them with the spray paint.

Any one getting a chill in there spine, I am?
Ended up moving the transfer case up. I will do the same with the motor about 1/2" higher.

Are you done yet

Jess that really looks wicked, and Ilike the axle truss.

hitman46mod · 10-11-2009, 02:01 PM

Thanks I will make better looking ones later for now they work. I also think I found a slick way to mount the steering servo.

I will make a skid plate/box for the bottom of the nose to house the servo. I need to cut the cross bar out and move it back.

JUSTGOINGSLOW · 10-11-2009, 08:33 PM

It's coming together really sweet, the servo looks like it's made for that spot.

CHRIZAD · 10-11-2009, 09:59 PM

Looking good.. Whats the length of those RC4WD shock did you use? Did you put internal springs in it?

I used the 100mm ones and I put a 3/8 long spring in the top so it will sit drooped to mimic the nitrogen shock Sceep used, I'm also running it half full with 10wt oil.
