| The Little Lexus that Might
Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at brazing a chassis. I used a Benz-O-Matic propane torch from the 70's, some old 60-40 rosin core solder, and some square and round brass tubing (dunno what size). The body is a custom painted Toyota Harrier Mini-Z body. It's a little rough, I still need to grind off the excess solder, etc. I'm going to add one or two more crossmembers on the lower part for some more strength and protection. I'm considering a skidplate, too. I'd like input on that. Where the body sits now. At this height I could easily pop a full interior in there and have plenty of room for everything. It's pretty high though, I might drop it 1-2 cm when I get the side clips out of the body. One 'lil mockup with some old toy MT wheels. I'm not sure if I want to use Mini-Z Monster Axles or SSMT axles. The MZM setup would be a big plus since I can't fabricate drivetrains to save my life, but I'd be stuck with RWD...not much good for crawling. Last edited by Roketcooper; 10-14-2007 at 06:04 PM.

That frame looks like its going to drag on the ground, might want to shorten it up if you can.

Quick update (pics in a while): Interior is painted light gray, Body is lowered, driver and passenger windows are "rolled down". I've decided on MZM axles. Edit: Interior completed. Last edited by Roketcooper; 10-15-2007 at 06:09 PM. |
