Default The Diet Tundra (TTC hopeful)

Wanted to get a build thread going here. Trying to get better at documenting and posting.


SPECS:

SCX rails w/lots of custom tube work
Removable tube bed (planning on hard bed)
Modified Losi skid w/Traxxas links
Losi axles
Losi dig trans
Losi shocks
Losi drivelines
Lunsford steering links
Custom mounting plate for servos
Tekin RS Pro 10.5
Savox SA-1283SG steering servo
Savox SH-1250MG dig servo
Hitec HS-7940TH winch servo
CC BEC
Racers Edge glitch buster
Futaba 4PL

This truck was put together for our state champs this spring and I have been to busy to really work on it since. Have been able to get most of the bugs worked out but still have a lot to do. It needs interior and a lot of detail and scale accessories.

A few pics














Actually got interior started

I love this build can't wait to see it in Lucia. I am assuming you are going to be running C3 with it also?

Clean cuts on the windshield, is the plan to replace with clear with the interior started/done now?

Yes, it will be running class 3

Thanks, probably clear in the front and dark in the rear. I wish the interior was done, hope to have time tomorrow to get something done.

yep they are bad news is they are 4-40 and the ball mounts in the rod end are hardened and you can't drill them out to 3mm. I picked one up after seeing that but still scratching my head how to use it with Axial goods.

Yes, they are Losi ends.

I am using the same setup as AJ on my class one and it works great. The bushings are problematic but not to bad. We have used a carbide cutter that is smaller than the I.D. of the bushing and reamed them out a little.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, I would say more like trying to be a styrene guy. Since I don't have your crazy metal working skills.

Interior and cage painted, just need to add some detail.
I don't want to mount the seats until I can find drivers, which is proving to be a challenge.
