Well I have been gathering parts for this for awhile. Decided to start work on it today..

Plans are Tamiya 3speed running into axial Tranny for a T case to the axles with the Low ratio Gears in all three. The Rear springs will be custom. should be a pretty decent tow rig

I have scaled everything out to 1/9 scale. the tires are larger then stock but that is the look I am after.

Some pics.
Steering will be inline with the Leaf springs like the real rig, and it will be Behind that axle steering. I will make a custom arm for the High clearance knuckles to make this work.

Tires :bling: RC4wd Mil-Spec's Really nice

I will convert the center axle to pass threw..

Got the pintle Hitch made up.

I may trim down the Thumb tab some.

Sloppy, its looking good so far! What will the total length be? What rims are you going to use?I cant wait to do a military build with those tires!

XSRCdesign · 04-03-2011, 11:34 AM

Right around 30" long. probably add a 1" or so to that if I add the front winch. Rims hopefully will be custom, I pm'ed Eritex when he gets all set back up hopefully he can do something for me.
This is the look I would like. Mil surplus beadlocks with rockwell spacing plates.

These tires are awesome and a huge multi axle rig should be super awesome

When I get to body I plan on making the panels so it can be easily duplicated. I would mind a bobbed M35 running these tires to

You really should We have quite a few running now or being built.

Got the rear dual plates drawn up and ready to cut out..

I cant wait to get this chassis up and moving around

sloppy · 04-03-2011, 03:15 PM

side plates made up and mounted

\
starting to think of mounting the Tranny.. Pretty sure I will make up some mounts and lay it on its side.. Not so much worried about COG as space savings.. The cab is small I think I can fit more under the hood with it on the side.

A idea of the width with tires mounted on the axles. Tucks under the bed nicely

sloppy · 04-03-2011, 07:13 PM

I got the rear all linked up lowers are temporary.

Upper link mount

Getting a idea of the size of this beast. The landcruiser fits in the bed with a little room to spare..

70duncan · 04-03-2011, 09:30 PM

Looking like a cool build

I love the custom military builds.

Greg82 · 04-03-2011, 09:33 PM

I need some more 3/16 square stock now

sloppy · 05-02-2011, 06:06 PM
