Going to be a monster for sure.

I have almost got the other axle cleaned up enough to asemble it. I have just been working on some small odds and ends pieces while I wait for the frame. Last I had heard most of the major pieces were cut and bent just needed to be braized. No time line for this build! Next week I will be ordering the heims and let me tell you they are huge and rated to over 2000 lbs. Might be overkill but should look the part though. Once those are in and the frame is here I can start the machine work on the links, hope they come out as nice as the full size ones.

Thanks for all the coments, Hopefully I can work on this more soon and will keep posting my progress.

Are you using a new bright body? I am bouncing between this and a Dakar style hummer. I have only worked on body mods so far but should be ready to cut frame soon.

Updates??

cruiserkb · 03-28-2009, 08:58 PM

Ecoli has sent me some initial shots of the basic start to the frame. We are still working out some of the bug's in the design. When I here more you will hear more.

Thanks for the interest.

Wow I think I missed this thread sometime ago ... LOL.

Cool build man!

I know some local guys here wanted to take lawnmower axles and try and do something similar.. haha.

I got a few teaser pic's from Chris today so here they are:

jeepcreep · 03-31-2009, 07:35 PM

this is going to be freakin awesome!!!

i cant wait for this to start coming together.
BTW i might have found a 1/5 scale tranny for that big BL motor. I think RC4WD has one, or is coming out with one...

cruiserkb · 04-02-2009, 07:57 PM

I got a few more pic's. I think this is progressing as planed. Just a few more small details to figure out and he should be able to finish up soon.

Let me know what you think.
Well on with the pic's:

I am going 4 link f/r, due to centered diff. If I ran off set dif I would have gone that route.

As far as motor and trans I am still undecided yet but we will see.

I wish the 1/5 rc4wd was in my price range!!
