i got a few updates on this build it changed from the axial frame to a trx4 frame i got the motors set up and working good i figured out how to mount the servo so it worked right the 3 link is good no bump steer i welded up a role cage with sliders and tube fenders the front and rear bumpers are mounted i did a test run it was a bit fast for my liking in first gear so it may need some gear changes to get it in that sweet spot but i exspected that now its time to scale it out.with a bunch of goodies fix th3 interior get the roof rack mounted and the light bar installed and it needs a esc and a reciver then paint it and make it look pretty |

good start ! tho' I think some horizontal bracing and triangulation in that frame cage would do well to support that frame/cage further in the event of a roll over or flop. Worth the added weight IMO. |

My buddy came over to drive it and we found out it needs new gears and since I'm doing gears I want to do metal axle housings too then I will have to do the links The brushed motor set up and the gearing wasent ware I wanted it to be so that set up came out and a 3 gear and outrunner went in I will update this thread when I get around to working on it again Last edited by ferp420; 07-21-2023 at 06:25 PM. | |

Cage looks sick! I have that body and "plans" for a rollcage.

| Re: barbies old jeep Maybe so... but they better not stand on the pillars facing where the windshield would be ! ? Where is the horizontal support for that ? Just curious is all Looks doable otherwise Good job ! (if ya don't mind some of those booger welds at the joints) Now how long must we wait before the gears are put in order ? Lol - just giving you a hard time ! Last edited by TacoCrawler; 07-29-2023 at 06:06 PM. |

The cage is Boogered to the frame in 3 places on each side and the roof rack bolts to the cage but over the body giving it 2 cross members outside the body And since this isent mine I'm building it for a friend I can only install what he buys for it My hot glue gun doesn't make pretty joints lol sorry |

| Re: barbies old jeep My guess is that hot glue stuff contaminates your welding process, creating bigger boogers. ? Try cleaning off that hot glue before welding and use strong magnets to hold each joint instead Assuming you prep the metal before the welding !? A Wire brush on a drill with some spray on brake cleaner (non-residual) comes in handy Last edited by TacoCrawler; 07-30-2023 at 03:14 AM. |
