I got it all put together last night and ran it today, did damn good today (just got to fix the glitching I was running into today).

Why are there so many nuts brazed to the cage?

I just wanted to make extra, so i didn't have to braze it again

. I am going to make some new panels soon (hopefully some carbon fiber ones

)

Updates...

-I bought a smaller lipo so I don't blow the TC again. :annoy:
-RC4WD Alum hubs
-Made the rear links a bit longer so I could mount the Rear MIP driveline.

That turned out sweet. So now are you going to repaint it to match the Yota now that you've changed that? I need to learn how to braze bad.

justinart24 · 02-25-2010, 11:15 PM

Now to program the BEC to 6v, add lights, dash and etc. :annoy:

This thing turned out great.

I really like the overall look.

Is it still going to be in Monatana?

Thanks "Grizzly4x4"!! Yep, I will be in Montana.

But as of right now, I am currently changing the shocks, track width, and battery location. I am trying to get the side hill action better.

justinart24 · 03-28-2010, 07:47 PM

Updates...

It sided hilled like crap last comp, I think it was do to the RC4WD shocks. The shaft of the shocks dont slide very smooth and there isn't to much travel. I decided to redo the shocks, increase the width and get the COG down.

-Made new shock towers & Swapped in Alum AX10 shocks (Just need to limit them a bit)
-Made a dash (Just have to put a bit more detail on and mount it a bit better)
-Put some washers on the rim adapters to the track width wider.
-Head & Tail lights

To do list...

-Redo all the wiring in the rear (To hide it all, I just through it together for the last comp)
-Move battery to lay on chassis.
-...to much to list.

justinart24 · 04-12-2010, 09:59 AM

Here is a pic from the WARCRC.org scale comp yesturday, I blew another RC4WD transfer case.

I already got a GCM transfer case in the mail.

The tear down for Montana begins. T - 46 days.

ecoli · 04-12-2010, 12:06 PM

Looks great, in a badass way

! What have you done for airing/weighting the wheels? I'm running the same combo on my 2.2 TJ.

You'll like the GCM t-case. Nice bearings, super beef gears and great machining. Doubt you'll blow the gears out on this one. I've broken driveshafts on my Jeep, but the t-case has held up no problem.

bigd003 · 04-12-2010, 01:54 PM

whoa, that is a sweet cab you made there. watch out though, that clod body is so fragile. I had one once and only once, it cracks and breaks way too easy. and with all that fab time into yours, it would be sad to see it bust. I use some rubberized spay coating and various little aluminum strips to try to beef it up, but then it just breaks in other spots. I use all lexan bodies now.
also, love your drivetrain, very beefy. and shiny!

I think that's what all the exo tubing is for

.
Looks great Justin, very tough looking rig. Will you be entering it in the TTC?

team3six · 04-12-2010, 09:12 PM

Its certainly looking sick. I just realized that we might need to change the name of the comp from the MSD's to the Roc lox. Im pretty sure that we all will have them.
