the mirrors are made out of brass tubeing and aluminum plate.

and no i can not back it up at full speed

thanks for all the feedback

[foodstamp]

dude, that thing is awsome! dose it flex good with the leaf springs?

[maxxdrive]

dude, that thing is awsome! dose it flex good with the leaf springs?

I get about an 1.25" of travel that is with 2 leafs per spring not three. Leaf springs seem to flex more after you start useing them.
Thanks for the compliment.

[maxxdrive]

well i ordered a new set of tires for the truck today, i also took it apart to paint the frame and build inner fenders for it. as soon as i get it finished (again) i will post some pics. oh yea i also built a highlift jack to go in the toolbox.

[foodstamp]

also built a highlift jack dude post pics!!! i want to see that.....how much money do you have in that, if you mind me asking........i want to make one now........i can see it already.....that truck is awsome.....it looks like a mudder

jugg leaf springs

i thought they had a 4 link?

[maxxdrive]

will post pics as soon as possible.

i thought they had a 4 link?

the leafs i got from one of the guys on here said they where from a jugg. i did go to tamiya site and look it is jugg leafs.

how much money do you have in that

$150.00 in parts for the truck
$6.00 in trailer i had everything but the wood

thanks for thecompliments

[foodstamp]

$150.00 in parts for the truck

WOW!!!.........i would have guessed about $300..........now i want to make one

o, your right, were did you get the tlt axils from?

[maxxdrive]

were did you get the tlt axils from? the great ebay

[foodstamp]

o ya.........im thinking of tlt axils, and a stamped trannsmission......

[foodstamp]

hay, i like your sterring......i just noticed......dose it work good?

[ColquittCustom405]

Nice dude, take the trialer off road too!

[maxxdrive]

i like your sterring......i just noticed......dose it work good

works great i like the scale look of it (do not have a servo setting on top of the axle)

Nice dude, take the trialer off road too!
yes i do, however, with the hummer tires the ground clearance is not the best but hey thats what the locked axles and lathe motor are for just keep pulling.

thanks.

[foodstamp]

so what do you think of this.......tlt axils, squair steel or aluminum for a chassis, t-maxx shafts, jugg leafs, clod body painted gunmetal, swamp dawgs, tlt shocks, beadlocks, rustler trannsmission, eather a 55t, or maby even a dewalt drill moter, taken rebble 2, traxxas radio, and a 645mg survo........is that all you need?

[maxxdrive]

in my opinion that sounds good. hope you have fun building it.that is what i enjoy most. most of the time i build them and hardly play with them just like to build.

ya, i like to build them alot.............its cool to see how it statred as some meatal, and when your done its a crawling machine.....

[maxxdrive]

well i am starting to get more parts in but the best news is i ordered rccrawler stickers hope my trucks are worthy of wearing them?

[foodstamp]

their worthy

[andrewmp6]

nice truck how did you make the hood scoope and the grill

[plyr2k]

the hood and grill are stock clod pecies i think

EDIT: i just looked again and thse are not stock my guess is that it took him a while to do and hes a good craftsman

[maxxdrive]

nice truck how did you make the hood scoope and the grill

the hood scoop is the stock ram air intake turned around backwards with the crome sanded off and glued to the hood. then i took bondo and grafted it onto the hood so it would look half way decent. took about twenty hours

the grill is a stock super clod buster grill but i filed the 4X4X4 off and made it look like a square tube grill then painted it black. took about seven hours to get it like i wanted.
my guess is that it took him a while to do and hes a good craftsman thanks for the compliment.

[maxxdrive]

like i said earlier i am working on a new scale crawler. it will also have a clod body with out cowl induction hood. here are a few pics of the front and rear bumpers. the tubeing is copper that has been filled with solder. the flat plate is thick copper. i think they will hold up really well. the front bumper has two receiver hitches with removable d rings, the back bumper also has a reciever i just havent built the dring yet, it will also have a place to mount the highlift jack. let me know what yall think.

[andrewmp6]

[foodstamp]

ya, you should use the ram lights, two big spotlights for $20.....their bright too, i have some on my t-maxx.....im going to make a rollbar, and put them on my truck with the clod body

[maxxdrive]

i will post pics if you want them......i hope your not mad about me copying your truck?

yes post some pics and no i do not mind i think everyone puts there own twist on custom projects, so go ahead and build away.
what else you gonna do to it maybe working lights i am not sure yet

sorry for the big pic

[maxxdrive]

i want to do a cawl induction hood
the hood is not hard fill the hole in the hood in with bondo then strip the chrome off the air intake turn it around backwards and ca it to the hood then use body filler to sculpt it in.

the rims look good and free is always nice:-P

[rambuller84]

Food stamp: Are you gonna use wideners? If not your truck is going to be REALLY narrow.

Food stamp: Are you gonna use wideners? If not your truck is going to be REALLY narrow.


i dont know......im not very far on this......i havent even got my body yet....all i have is my tires, and their not even finished......what did you do maxxdrive?.......if i have to use wideners, i might switch to brusier axels, and im thinking of it already, they look more realalistic......

[maxxdrive]

the pics in this thread do not have wideners but my other set of tires are moabs as well but they are on hpi rims which have a wider aooset than traxxas rims so they give me about a 1/2 inch wider track.

[foodstamp]

ok.......i got the body in today, the cowl hood is done, its gettin painted tomarrow, ill post pics

[CoreyK]

Any more pics of the trailer? Howd you make it, howd you mount the wheels, what wheels , etc...
