I bought my body from a guy on here. Not sure where they originate from. I intended to build a crawler with this truck body, but its turned into a gas powered 'racer'. Next build will be with the 1/5th scale Yota axles and a self made tuber. And it will be electric.

If you could I would love to see some close up pics of those drive shafts. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

savagefromthesprings · 03-10-2010, 02:04 PM

will do. I have alot more pictures, but my USB ports dont work for some freakin reason. So I have to use the office computer (which isnt hooked up to internet) and upload them from camera to CDR then from CDR to my computer, then to photobucket. So yeah, its a bit of a hassle! ha.

The truck is up and running. Had to run to town and buy some gas. So now I am going for a test run. Will post video sometime tonight or tomo!

Can't wait to hear how it went

savagefromthesprings · 03-10-2010, 08:04 PM

project is getting scrapped. Motor doesnt have enough power/torque to move the wheels worth a s***. I guess thats what I get for using a cheap motor that was just laying around. So... now its on to the next project. Truggy build crawler with the Chevy SS body.

that old ryobi does look a little tired

Oh no! Im sorry to hear that! I was enjoying this thread!

savagefromthesprings · 03-10-2010, 11:03 PM

yeah, it sucks. Alot of labor time lost, but its no big deal. Ready to start on my crawler project.

Silversamps85 · 03-11-2010, 07:07 AM

Sorry to hear that, Is there anyway you could show me a pic of those drive shafts still? Or atleast how you made them? Thanks

thats a cool build man, would love to see this truck in action

Very cool,

.If it's going to be Military are you going to add a airsoft gun ?

Looks like that is a great foundation for a Mud or Hill drag buggy, bet you could drive on water with that thing.
Cant wait to see in action
