Update: nearly finished project. check all of the pages for pictures.
here's how it came out:

Hello, Good people of Rcc..

I've decided to start a build thread for my new Wreckluse Tuber I just picked up.
My first crawler is a Axial Honcho Kit that I put together and really enjoyed. I still have it and use it often. its my 1.9 terror.
Now, I want to build a 2.2 truck from the ground up. I expect there will be many changes/customizations to the tube work on this truck as well as many custom machined parts on the truck as I am a Machinist by trade. I already have many idea's in my head but, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
This build is going to be a long term build but, I'll be sure to update the thread as things happen. Yes! There will be pics!

Here's what I will be starting with:
Edit: Got my Wreckluse today from RCPcrawlers.com! Everything looks great!

I got my shocks in!

I Have an idea on where I want to go with the build but, I'm sure my plans will change along the way.

gas-man · 08-31-2011, 08:03 PM

Marking this so I can watch it grow

venomous98 · 08-31-2011, 08:50 PM

Can't wait to see how this turns out! I also see that you live one town over from me. I am also working on a custom Wreckluse. We will have to get together and do some driving.

Die-Laughing · 08-31-2011, 08:53 PM

Haha.. Thats cool. I met another guy earlier that is a local as well.
Yeah, do you ever check in on the "Illinois" section of the forum?
There might be a get together this weekend for a little bashing/follow the leader type stuff. Ya know, just playin around.
we had a Tough Truck Competition last weekend about 40min south of where we are. It was awesome!

Edit: My wheels haven't come in yet but, I got my spare! 2.2 Humvee / 2.2 Rok Lox! Woo!

I decided to go with more of an unfinished look for my spare so, I sand blasted it. I think it looks good.

Im still waiting for some parts to arrive.. Plus, my new best buddy has been taking up some of my time. Meet Buster!

johnnyh66 · 09-01-2011, 10:49 AM

aww man, didn't you do good enough with the Honcho! You had to go and bring out the big guns

just kidding, I can't wait to see where this goes. I didn't know you were a machinist!

richardgarrett56 · 09-02-2011, 11:53 AM

3 1/2''SHOCKS in the rear 4'' in front work well

Mighty1 · 09-02-2011, 12:04 PM

funny! My phone does shit like that to me all the time. I have to proof read everything I write cause the stupid auto correct puts whatever it wants.....

Mega Fattie · 09-02-2011, 10:25 PM

this build is going to be nice.

Die-Laughing · 09-08-2011, 05:57 PM

Couple of updates.. (see above)

and, my wraith axles should be here tomorrow.. I got a cool scale fuel cell on the way and my "big little" turbo is on the way!

Haha.. we'll see what happens with that.
Plus, I have a radiator & intercooler drawn up at work to make out of aluminum. I have some ideas happening.

Stay Tuned.

BLKXJ 96 · 09-08-2011, 07:27 PM

Looks like and awesome built!! I would have left the wheel black....Black wheels look good on everything

Cool looking Dog too....

Mega Fattie · 09-08-2011, 08:27 PM

Is that the big box that came today? The hemi motor?

Die-Laughing · 09-08-2011, 09:02 PM

Haha, no way man. You can fit a 1/4 scale hemi in that box. It was some paint & paint supplies for the hemi build. They used a huge box for some reason.

Mega Fattie · 09-08-2011, 09:14 PM

Haha. Cool.

I got my stay-silv, and safety-silv 45 today....now we can learn how to braze.

Mega Fattie · 09-09-2011, 09:48 PM
