Bigfoot 18 Wraith

[Kingclod27]

Got the Chassis's in Friday!!!! They look even better in person, my dad freaked out when he saw it...His is gonna be a cool project once I get it going..Boyer really out did himself again (don't know how) lol...Here are a few pics





I also got this Firestone Bigfoot body on Friday too...not sure what Im going to do with it yet... backup body, tuber, racer??? Hmmmmm

DAMN that's AWESOME!!! That takes me way back to my Powers racing Clod days.... I tried like hell to get a racing scene started here in the North West... but I seemed to be out of place.

Does Boyer have a website to purchase a chassis? I'd live to put one together!

thanks

So I couldn't wait to start working on this thing...Took the 4 shocks from my dads chassis and put the dual setup on mine (his is getting 8 shocks as well)...







Then I took the wheels and tires from another truck and stuck them on here to see how it would look....I still have the sheet of DP aluminum from rc4wd.com so Im going to measure out the floor for the cockpit and Fuel tank, might work on mounting the MM motor too...







Slapped the BF 18 body on and it looks sexy!! Jon made the body mounts come off the rear of the chassis like the 1:1 so I could take the clear piece of lexan off the back of the body...

Wow, those chassis's have some serious tube

Never been a MT fan (in RC) but these look crazy cool!

[Kingclod27]

Had to see what the Firestone Bigfoot body looked like on it!! :thumbsup:

[tedo]

wow. just wow.

Looks perfect.

[Kingclod27]

Thanks dude...im not sure which body I want to keep on there now lol...Im gonna start working on the scale interior stuff and decide later

[Kingclod27]

Got more work done...

Cut out the floor for the cockpit and fuel tank...did a quick mock up to see how it would look..

[Kingclod27]

Got the new Cappu aluminum steering linkage on...last time I use the one from RC4WD and did not really care for it.....Also mounted the Savox servo and Kimbrough servo saver (my favorite combo so far)..I might black out the servo and put heat shrink on the wire so it blends in a lil more

I'm building a MT using wraith axles as well. Mine wont be anywhere near as awesome as yours though. I may have overlooked it somewhere in here but what's the wheelbase on this truck? Mine will be about 13.5"

Mine is about 13.5 as well.....This is the second one, the first one had sum issues so I sold it to a friend and had another chassis built...I love these Wraith Axles, Ive seen a few more guys doin Axial based MT builds lately, thats awesome

[Awesome!]

Wow, that is some tube/chasis work there!

[Kingclod27]

Got a dash of some sorts made up and attached the steering wheel...Used sum of the Axial interior decals to make it look a lil like a dash





Found sum of these plastic spacers and thought they would make good gauges, painted them black along with the dash..






I also did not tighten the steering wheel down too tight so it actually spins lol

[Kingclod27]

Got the gauges installed

[Steelfish]

this is soo awesome..!!

keep the pics coming and dont forget to add a video as soon as you got this monster running

[Kingclod27]

Got a lil more work done to the BF18....CPE scale fuel tank added and I got sum cheapo wheels for Transport Tires!!

[Kingclod27]

Slowly getting back to working on this thing.... made a list of things I need to do before Diggers Dungeon RC WFs..

Install floors, seat, steering wheel, fuel tank, radiator, motor, sponsor plates.... then I need to order sway bars from Mike Hesse and my scale wheel kit from Brett Crawford...gotta get going.

I tweaked the suspension for a better setup...flipped the mounts on the chassis and mounted the shocks to the outside of the mount on the axles....Now it sits lower and looks much better.
