What Timely looked like before it was sent to Casey.



Casey TIG welded new link tabs and added some bracing to the spare tire tube along with a radiator mount and a 2 inch Vanquish Products light bar in the front and a 4 inch Vanquish Products light bar main.

The new machined brace.



I built Timely right up and wrapped the panels in orange with silver. The tire/wheel and foam combo is:
CWR-5004 1.50" width 6 Bolt wheels
CWR-3003 Deuce's Wild Standard foams (front and rear)
CWR-3015 Deuce's Wild Tuning Disc Set (one disc, on the outside of the foams in all four tires)

After the rebuild I put slicks on Timely and drove on the street with Nova's Ark and Nova's Ark was driving a 2wd slash and we crashed on the street and Timely took a good tumble and the carbon fiber servo/upper link mount plate cracked and the chassis got tweaked..

I made a new plate out of 1/8 aluminum I never took any pictures of it. I also straightened the chassis best I could. I put Timely all back together and on the second battery the upper rear link mount ripped out again.

You can barely see the aluminum servo mount in this picture.



I took Timely apart and cleaned everything. Timely now just sits on the shelf as a bare chassis. The parts from Timely have not yet been used in a new build yet.

I still have a chunk of ti plate on the water jet guy's desk, if you're feeling up to welding titanium I can have beefier plates cut out. Extending the link tabs up and forwards should give enough surface area to stay together.

Hmmm. I dont have a purge block or a correct cup to TIG weld titanium at the moment. The weld broke from what looks like contamination I dont think any tab will work since the tube is contaminated with two welds what do you think?

Thank You
