1/6 CAMPBELL KOH IFS RIG all stainless

[gadge]

well saw the 1:1 and knew i had to build it!!!!
heres the low-down...plan
just gonna use my 3 ch 2.4 radio,hitec 5995 servo,castle monster esc,and a neu motor(want the planetary trans) and a 4s lipo for now,need to get the last 3 when i get there, and a 10A bec
suspension..still debating between a narrow hellfire based and a revo based got both and revo is too wide for 1/6 especially with any b'locks i have..we'll see,... more as it unfolds...
well how bout some pics..1:1 first



*************and what ive done so far**************

[rocpede]

that is amazing work there.

[cruiserkb]

Looks great! What are the overall measurements of the frame? Will be watching this one.

[gadge]

^^^^^^^^^^^^
...........thanks!!....
sorry forgot lots of info
chassis is 22 1/2" long 8 1/4" at mid chassis and 7" high driver area with about 3/4" drop down at front susp
wheelbase is 18 1/4" and track width is going to somewhere in the 15 to 171/2 range..not sure yet and tires are 7+" tall x 3" wide
...more pics later 2nite of f/r susp choices,tire wheels also hope u guys can help w/ shock building ideas..rear bypass ones going to make my own i think maybe start with some savage parts?

[JatoTheRipper]

That's a killer 1:1 and if your 1:6 is half as good you'll have an awesome RC!

Subscribed!

Very nice man, cant wait to see this one finished!

[gunnar]

Wow, this is going to be an incredible build! Props man, awesome work so far.

[JasonInAugusta]

This will be very cool.

Seems everyone wanted to build Shannon's KOH buggy.

[gadge]

well gettin a few things figured out..and startin details
for rear shocks looks like the longest i can find in my shop are savage..6 1/2" the ones pictured have jato spring on top and hellfire on bottom, fronts will be easy thinkin bout hellfire for the main and some dummy bypass shocks(easier to make fake)
for susp..looks like i can get away with revo parts and just remake the a-arms for a scale look...lower f susp plate is 3/16 6061 and the upper arms will be 1/4 .065 tube,use the revo ball on 1 end and maybe alum rod end for chassis side
in pics,and for mock up thats a revo diff ...hellfire is planned front and rear
speaking of.. going to have to make rear axle housing soon,might be mostly alum but if can ..stainless!! got lots just no tig!!uuugggghhhh!!
well heres some pics
oh yea there is a pic at end with x crawler tires n wheels(3.2 wheel dia and 7"tall,i think its more scale in size but not appearance
let me know what u think bout tires





************THIS IS UPSIDE DOWN N BACKWARDS**************
vvvvvvvvvvvvvv

[dirk379]

Very cool, nice to see it in large scale.

Fab work looks real clean keep it up

[Jester666]

Wow your work is very clean. Great job, I cant wait to see more.

[4xFord]

Wow thats awesome! Have you looked into the traxxas slayer arms? They look just like the revos, but are shorter. And those front uppers on the 1:1 sure look like the same style arm.

[gadge]

^^^^^^^^^^
yep had them in my hand at lhs not more than an hour ago..way to narrow,gonna make my own..
stainless tube uppers,n alum lower "plate" type a-arms for the scale look..just might skip the upper inner ball ends,dont need them..
gonna work on F susp tonite i'll see how the 1/4.065 tube looks

[bigtiresrbetter]

What shocks are those?...they look nice and beefy

[jeepcreep]

awesome!! you should get some RC4WD maxx sized rock crushers for that beast. and i love the tube work.

[nir38]

Great work!

I should also have started by 1/6.

[heminutt]

looks good

[gadge]

well ive been mocking up the f susp a bit more...
decided to go with my revo based parts...also fixed my backspacing problem by flippin the center of the b'locks around,even had to grind a little off the steering arm
and going with the hpi savage single shocks on rear and stock hellfire for the front(got half the parts)

[gadge]

well got a few more things comin together, along with the reality of my budget
in a perfect world i'd really like to be using a neu motor with the planerary,something close to the 1521/1.5d with a 6.7 ratio and 8mm output along with a monster esc
what im gonna use is a 1st gen e-maxx and use the 2 speed
also gonna use a 775 motor and evx speed control,had it wired for 1batt(7.2) for crawler but for this i'll switch back to 14.4v
also someone mentioned slayer arms..looks like i can get away with revo length,pictured are rear uppers,ive got lwb version that i gotta dig out,might actually work?
also found my engine,actually a 1/6 scale small block with carb not a ls-6 but hope to make look like one,also hoping that i can fit trans into eng kit
heres that neu motor

and heres what im trying first

[gadge]

well found this while out shoppin at a "craft" store..even got 40% off!!
yea i know its not a LS-6 but it is a 1/6 small block and super detailed
this should work for now...any objections? bareminimum i got a base for making a LS. only problem is it is kinda heavy,block,and oil pan are cast white metal
seems to be to tight for motor and trans inside block,i'll try flippin around trans and instal motor inside eng block..make a mid motor plate. the kit comes with mounts at all 4 corners,but should be able to use real location b drillin them out gonna s'can the fan
debating on at least customizing it a bit by doin stuff like repainting block n heads black or aluminum,detail all the hardware,add power steer pump,serpentine belt system,better plug wires,HEI distributor,etc,etc

strangely a 72t/32p spur is the same size as the flywheel.
well more pics

this is a 540 motor

..flywheel seems to be a 48p

..top view of trans,leaned over on its side,still want 2 speed to function so definatly got to flip around 180*
