Jeeruggy, A TTC Rig...(A J-Fab Respawn), Updated Specs

[Robotboy]

For lack of a better name, Jeeruggy. My TTC Jeep Truggy.

Picked this little gem up from J-Fab. Some of you may remember
it. If not here's a pic stolen from Axials site...



Pics of how it came to me...poor thing needs some lovin' ...





I don't plan on getting it all dolled up. Specifically being built to take
a beating and come back for more.

Here are some specs I'm shooting for. Some stuff I have & some are
needed bad.

VP XR10 Chubs, VP Wraith Knuckles, XR10 Universals & HandBros CMS Panhard Mount.
Rear: RCP SS Locker, Underdrive gears, Long Beef Tubes, STRC Lockouts,
Wheely King rear axles & DMG V1 4 link Truss.

Axial Tranny; HR Al. Housing, RR Steel Gears, 1 piece output, Gen3 slipper & SuperShafty Top Shaft.

[Robotboy]

Still have to come up with some steering links, get the shocks on, etc.
I want it sittin' a little lower. Here's where we be now. Whatcha think?
Back to work, back to work...

Sweet lookin rig Looks like its going to be built for abuse. What was the body originally? Can't wait to see it in person. I'll be able to run too

Thanks Wade, it's getting there.
I've been spying on your buggy and Richs' too. Both look to be a blast!
This is strictly going to be an "abuse-a-rig". And fast I can't
wait to have the green for the power. OG body is RJ Speed Jeep Pickup.
They are still available. I was going to pick one up but decided just to
refurbish the old one. After all, I'm just gonna beat it

[Robotboy]

Alright, got the steering worked out. Cut down a RC4WD steering
link for the wraith. Had to drill & tap the ends afterwards because
it's a solid rod. Can you say behind the wraxle? Worked out perfectly.
Panhard setup, no bump-steer,







The Gmade shocks showed up as well.



Now how's she sittin'...



Sneak-peek at the refurbished body...

I was eyeing this thing when it was listed in the classifieds. Now I wish I would have jumped on it. Great job on the rebuild

Thanks for the compliment! I saw it and wasn't sure about.
Every time I looked at it I liked it more. I'm glad I pulled the trigger

[Robotboy]

A little more done. This is my first real go at styrene so be gentle.

Pulled my hair out trying to figure where to put a decent size battery.
Not wanting to have all that weight in the a$$, I came up with this.
Battery will slide in from the rear, sit down in the chassis and
counterweight the motor. It's also water resistant once the interior
deck is screwed on.



Interior went pretty quick. Sorry I didn't slow to take progress pics.
I went real simple and not too much detail. You can't see it too well
with the lid on. The side windows are tinted so it actually looks pretty
good. I think









Made a slide on cover for the battery compartment. Used the Axial
gun racks on it. Probably use them for a shovel & ax or jack.





Whipped up some fender wells as well. Scale points are good





Beefed up my tranny a little and some goodies showed up. Waiting
on some bullets, then I should be close, real close

When did Castle stop giving you motor bullets with their ESC's? Geez...

Very cool rebuild. Nice axles!

[Szczerba]

Guess I missed the start of this thread. Awesome build! Lets see some front and rear shots when you get a chance. Wanna check out the width/stance of this beast!

[Modbug]

A good looking, sweet truck.
Some out on the rock shots, would be great.
When you get a chance, thank you.

Some shots for ya Track width; front:10.75", rear:11".
Running 2 different offset wheels for now. I liked 'em so
I'm rollin' with it. WB is about 13.25".







Couple shots of the steering...nice!

[RustenPaines]

That has some really nice frame work. Nice job getting ahold of that!

[Modbug]

Best shot of it IMO, is from the side.
Looks like it will eat rocks for breakfast.
If it ever gets a chance.

[Robotboy]

So close I can taste it...

MMP & Pro4; CorrosionX'ed and installed

[DickyT]

Now I have power envy.... Arocknid will have to wait until xmas for the 3300KV version and an MMP.

Which KV t4 is that? Do you plan to run 2s or 3s?


Keep up the great work Bob
