The joints are something that I've stuggled with for a while, but as I build more the better I get. The key is making sure the joint is clean. I sand the two surfaces to be brazed, then I use a healthy dose of flux (not the paste crap), but a good liquid from Harris. Then I heat up the joint and just barely touch the joint with the silv56 rod from Harris. It only takes a small amount of solder to make a good joint. In fact the whole bed and rock rails are made from 1 stick of rod. I hope that helps Quote:

Ok, thats Safety-Silv? That explains why it looks different. The liquid flux helps smooth things out I think I'm trying the flux-coated brass/bronze rods because I have a little experience with them already. I've had good results with a couple practice joints, I'm hoping that continues to happen. They were'nt pretty, but they were damned strong. Yours and Pinchflats new Toyotas finally got me off of my lazy ass! Thanks for the inspiration dude... |

That is one sexy motha. I think I like the pull pal the best though. Could it be a sneak peak at the next scale Reign product ?  |

I wasn't crazy about the bright green paint at first, but now it's growing on me. I like the idea of re-shaping the scx chassis. I might have to 'borrow' the idea so I can spare my Bruiser chassis of making irreversable mods.

Top notch work Kaetwo. I love the bright green with everything else blacked out, and the bed looks awesome.

I love the silv56 and I've tried 45 too with great success. I also picked up a Smith Mini Torch, and I'm excited to give that a try soon  Quote:

Got some more done today I love the Tekin B1-R's size as it fits perfectly in the Axial radio box with the BEC and Reciever. I'll be working on the front bumper next Enjoy! |

Well I've got a few more things done and had a change to comp with it last weekend and I'm very impressed. The tires work amazing and the rig comps as good as anything else I've ever built. I also had a chance to put on another pair of Pro-Line shocks and I'll never use another shock for my scalers. There amazing!!! I still have to install my interior, driver, window, second winch, pull pal, air tank and tune the front suspension a tad. More to come |
