I've been a member for a long time but never post so I figured I'd change it up and show my rigs off.
I got this rig pretty well setup already, just added some of my own touches. This is what it looked like before I got it.
Holmes BRXL
35 turn Brood Chaos motor
Integy aluminum trans
Metal trans gears
MIP drive shafts
Axial aluminum chubs
Vanquish high steer knuckles
MIP CVD's
RC4WD wheels.
Vented TSL's

I wheeled it just like that for a little bit and then started changing it up

I built the canopy out of .060 styrene

And then it got some color.

And it got a set of pitbull rockbeast

And I finally put some windows in the canopy to finish it out.

I machined a spool and servo mount to put the winch in the back and used a nylon tube to run the cable to the front.

I like the winch idea, how does it hold up compared to a normal winch?

TacoCrawler · 08-20-2015, 07:00 PM

honestly...

I'd think the topper designed for the hi-lux/mojave
would look better then the sharp edges of the 4runner looking design.

but looks decent for home fab

It holds up pretty well so far. I broke the line within the first couple pulls because there was a bur on the inside edge of the spool I missed. After that it's been great. I spent a decent amount of time getting the pot centered in the servo. I'm using that for a little bit until I order a heyok controller or a micro esc with a drag brake

My plan was to have more of a radius edge but I couldn't get it to come out square or even on both sides so I used sandpaper and broke the corners the best I could without making it too thin. Wasn't ideal but it also wasn't cooperating at all!

After looking at the prices of esc's a heyok controller is a no brainer. Just have to get out of the dog house for buying this haha

Dig the truck and definitely dig the camper.
