So yes i did drive it with the steering it works great, if you have ever seen a jeep with a 3 link one side swings over to one side cuz of the pan-hard bar. There is no bump steer at all. The only thing that i can see i don't like is that the upper link arm hits the electronics box bracket but thats an easy fix. All in all its a great kit well worth the cash.

I like the od green with the black wheels and bobbed bed.

I've always liked flat paint on trail rigs.

That looks great Brian, now I want one of those Toy bodies for my SCX too :-( , Wheels look good with the SCX hubs in there.

Gotta get my SCX Defender back out and fixed up for some scale trail running.

Sweet, I've always wanted to see how that's done.

The 3 racing one is a great deal.

The qucksand one is orgasmic, but a bit expensive

Looks great Bryan. Brazing is not that hard at all when you have the right materials.

I worked on mine this weekend too.

Thanks Dave you truck looks sweet i hope to try and make a few parts this week or so where did you get all the stuff.

dpdsurf · 04-13-2009, 12:27 AM

I have found the Safety silv 45 works just as good as the 56 and is cheeper. I use the high heat black flux but I think the white is ok too. Just make sure it's stay silv brazing flux. I get the brake line from Kragen, 3/16" I believe it was.

Brian, you guys are also welcome to come over and use my TIG, I think you saw the sliders and front bumper on my SCX, all done with TIG, came out pretty nice I think.

chino63 · 04-13-2009, 10:16 AM

Damn, that looks sweet! I've been tossing around that idea as well since I have a few Toyota bodies laying around. Let me know if I can help out with anything.

What kind of bumper you going to make? Here's a Marlin style one I did for someone.

dpdsurf · 04-13-2009, 10:51 AM

I know what I'm making next. I'm not that happy with the plastic proline bumper. That looks great Dean
