this is were i was at the first night of working on it. It started off as a 1/2x1/2 1/16 wall square tubing used a torch and to bearing races from a 99 f150 welded to a metal table to get my bends i wanted, then i cut it in half to get my 2 frame rails




i got some other stuff done last weekend hopefully get some more stuff done today and make it full roller

got some more stuff done on the nylint sunday kinda happy how it turned out a few more welds on it ran out of wire and needs some cleaning up with a flap wheel on some of the welds to make it look pretty

T-case from RC4WD or eBay?

[superwheelin77]

bought the tcase off amazon was 65 plus shipping i did some reading on it and i read that rc4wd buys some chinese stuff and rebrands it as a rc4wd. took it apart and looks exactly like the rc4wd one i very happy with it

got alot done the other night still a ton left to do. liking how it works and looks got my transmission last night I'm doing a 1:5 reduction unit i don't know what i should run yet for motor and speed control



got transmission mounted and part of a front bumper built
crawls awesome in low and has decent speed in high should be a great all around crawler once its finished



seen this the other day had to take a pic is was super clean

front bumper started too
