Every bada$$ trail rig needs a tach, right?

Yeah. Printed it and then painted it during a conference call lol

When you starting up your 3d print business? I would definitely be a customer.

Lol. I'll send you a tach for free for being a good subscriber of my projects and giving me some input. PM me your address. You gotta paint it though lol.

Makes me want to get going on this interior. Needs a lot of love. Torn between my Zuki and Blazer. Sad days lol.

That's why my girlfriend made me promise to only do one at a time. She knew if I tried to focus on two or more I'd never finish them. Especially at my pace.

Oh and thanks for offering to send me the tach. I'm going to use it on my next build. Planning on using the scrap blazer body and parts I have from my Bruticus build and make a backyard build crawler.

So a part came in from RPP for my Suzuki project, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to print an LS motor for the Blazer. One of the things I've wanted the most on this truck. Always wanted a scale engine bay, or atleast as scale as I can get it. Got a few engine parts printed at far. Got the intake, manifolds and valve covers to print. No place for a pully setup cause the motor kinda sticks out. That's OK, it's all copper and looks kinda cool anyway. Have an Optima battery i printed awhile back. Need some other details like ignition coil, master cylinder, fuse boxes, radiator, you know all that junk that makes it go. Need to research this motor to see what kind of junk it needs. Would be cooler if I could find some carborated engine parts instead.

Anyway, the Blazer gets a RC4WD Disrupter Ultra Planetary setup. Turned out to be kinda slow, but I kinda like it. Paired with a 45t now. May try out my 35t. Kinda liking the low end control im getting out of it. Think the ratio of this was 16:1. Pretty high.

Also designed a mount for the motor/trans and had to shorten a Wild Bore drive shaft to about 1/2in on each side . Let's see how that works. Might have to just cut my metal one up. Only needs about 1/2in cut out of it.

I'll get some better pics when I get more motor parts printed up.

Engine bay gonna look good with a LS in it. I gotta make all the same parts for my engine bay master cylinder, radiator, etc, etc.
Just got to get my 3d printer working (my two hands lol).

Oh watch out for those mounting tabs on that planetary. I read people say they are weak and break easy.

[webbl19]

Little sneak peek. Still a bit to high. Will have to see if i can take the mount down farther. Might be hitting my servo now. Or i could make a scoop. Wanted to make a snorkle. We'll see what happens.

Well the tax man said I got a good rebate, so what does any responsible person do? I spent money to pick up our economy. So picked up an HPI Venture. I like it a lot. I'm planning on creating similar setups for the Blazer using 3D printed parts, panhard mount for one example. I really am digging how its setup. Should be able to fit a full interior in this bad boy at some point. Needs some upgrades, if youve watched any reviews you will know what they are. Other than a few cheap parts it seems like a great truck. Love the body, thought it would be harder to get a lexan body, but this one is doing it for me. I'm planning on making 3D parts for the exterior as well.

Put my swampers on to see how they look, think they will stay put. Ordered some new 1.9 beadlocks to go along with it. Still in shipping so these old black ones will do for now.

I so wish this Blazer hardbody was as scale as these lexan bodies. It should be up there the size of the Vaterra Blazer.

Also have been working on my man cave aka basement/office/kids video game room lol. Lucky I have all boys, so the name still applies to a degree. That 2x4 is the start to my 8ft work bench.

Oh and Uncle Sam said I could get a new 3D printer as well. Will allow me to print multiple different filaments other than PLA. Ordered the Tevo Tarantula. Should be here tomorrow.
