Woodman's Chevy Panel Truck
 

I bought this used late last year, and drove the heck out of it.....I had already bought my first rc the traxxas sport, but I sure like the axial....

Re: Woodman's Chevy Panel Truck
 

Internet problems ......This build is making use of extra traxxas parts I have on hand.....I will be moving the motor forward with a different transmission and transfer-case provided by a local friend https://www.dinkyrc.com This is a fun build....love doing stuff like this, from slot cars and routed tracks, to wood kayaks and so on.....

Any ideas on capping of the ends of a cut down bumper? Be nice to fill it with plastic....

Make a fillet with some liquid electric tape. Use it in a serenge to avoid mess

Re: Woodman's Chevy Panel Truck
 

I let a buddy use my gallon of 2 part epoxy for his rc boats....US Composites epoxy I was using on kayaks I built....

Re: Woodman's Chevy Panel Truck
 

I've done this before myself.

Took a Dremel to the remaining scrap parts tree and made a huge mess for 15 minutes. Took all the shavings and mixed it up with two part epoxy. Once sanded and smoothed over, was hardly noticable.

Put the epoxy in the corner of a plastic bag and cut the tip off to make a nice clean fillet.

Re: Woodman's Chevy Panel Truck
 

In kayak building belt sander wood dust makes good thickener.......... Also, graphite powder mixed with epoxy is black, add it to the bottom of a kayak, then when dry scuff it with a scotch bright pad and the hull of the kayak slides over rock, rather than grabbing and gouging the wood......
