Default Juggy Brushtruck

Its been awhile since I was on here. I started leaning more towards the scale side of R/C and learned a bit more about crawling. But anywho my lastest project is a Hilift/TLT hybrid Brushtruck running a R2 tranny and semi wheels wrapped in Flywheel boggers.


First mockup of the bed

Front bogger

Final design of the bed

Front view with lightbar and snorkel

Outside with first coat of paint minus the bumper, not made yet

My favorite shot

And a couple of test videos

That's how she sits as of right now, had to pay the bills before I bought anything else. Still need to buy a radio and some micro servos before I can start on the final routing for all the wires.

I guessed at the thread placement considering the wheel aren't 1.9 so if this needs moved my apologies

Looks good! Needs some cool tube work I think to make it look really tough and arent those 1.9s? If they are I can move it to the 1.9 section if ya want

Semi wheels are 1.7 or something like that.

Tube work would be cool but I lack the skills and the money for that right now. I think I'll just focus on the bumper in design, constructed of styrene.

I love Dually's

Very nice work. It needs a small water pump. That way you can fill the mud bog from the nearby stream at the next comp.

Looks like all you lack are some F-550 and PowerStroke stickers along with a beefy front bumper and you'll be set.

Thanks again. I shot the bed with a coat of semi-gloss (not to shiny) I'll try to get pics tomorrow, my computer went retarted on me so I had to do a "destructive restore" on it.

But I did find me a radio
