Re: 1:4 cj3a I have some dimensions for you whenever you want them... 8) Here is the tray installed with the battery mount. http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...611_210617.jpg |

Re: 1:4 cj3a Just saw this build today and it's fantastic!! sub "thumbsup" |
Re: 1:4 cj3a After two straight years of sitting on the shelf collecting dust I decided it was time to dig this project back up. Part of the reason it sat for so long is I'm not great with a tubing bender... So a close friend is helping me with it. 8) He sent me some pictures, I'm super excited to say the least. My goal is to have it running in time for ECSC in August. http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps60d0a6ad.jpg http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps5cbbbb68.jpg |
Re: 1:4 cj3a looks good man. i look forward to seeing more progress. what class is it going to be?! |
Re: 1:4 cj3a |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Just go ahead and make two of everything so I can have a 1:4 CJ3A Like my 1:1 :) |
Re: 1:4 cj3a What's this 'ramcharger in the works' stuff? Did you sell the 'Mando? |
This is so cool can't wait to see finished product. |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Looks good Brian.Any guess to what this thing will weigh? |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Bigski, I still have the commando. the ramcharger is a 1.55 leafsprung truck I've been slowly working on. Bob, I'm guessing it will weight around 25lbs. Some more pics! My buddy is on a roll and he's got the brazing thing figured out as you can see. 8) http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps5q4cf17c.jpg http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...psk0yn3ldd.jpg http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...psq8peqqid.jpg http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...psjrqbxpgn.jpg |
Re: 1:4 cj3a those are some smooth joints. i bet working with that 3/8th stuff is a bit different than 3/16 |

Re: 1:4 cj3a I was hoping you where going to hiline the fenders. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...psremnlkwq.jpg |
Is that Kane's ? What is high siding the fenders? Is that what is going on in the back? Looks like the builder had some tough times with the fish mouths on some of the angles. I think if he filled gaps when it's all done with some Bondo that should work to blend the joints a little better before paint. Personally I'm a perfectionist and this what I would do to make it look good. Brian. Have you talked to the builder about what you want done with bottom rear of the tube work? I wonder if having a bottom tube to mirror the top long tube in the back would allow for better mounting of the pecan body panels. |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Yeah, thats Kane in his GPW. The hiline fenders he made are just the stock front fenders that he raised a few inches. If you look closely he actually had to cut into the hood to do the hiline. I'll have to talk to my buddy about the fishmouth bondo question. I guess as long as its strong enough a little bondo for aesthietics wouldnt hurt. Also, a lower back tube to support the bottom of the tailgate is probably a good idea... I'll let him know. ...this is so F'n silly. :ror: |
Re: 1:4 cj3a I swear I've seen the carpet in those pics somewhere. Can't put my finger on it.... |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Oh, and the mystery brazer is doing an awesome job "thumbsup" |
Re: 1:4 cj3a This is exciting 8) Cant wait to see more Regards, Rick |
Re: 1:4 cj3a yeah, that carpet is dirty. he needs to vacuum more often. |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Quote:
Kane's new toy looks very similar to the prototype in the pics. Can I offer a different suggestion to filling in any gaps on the brazed joints? I did this to the cage in the orange Jerp. I had a few joints that were, lets say, aesthetically challenged. :oops: I discovered that the flame from a Map gas cylinder and some regular plumbers solder would fill in the gaps without effecting the joints that I had acetylene/ oxy brazed. A bit of emery paper and elbow grease made for a nice, clean looking joint. |
That is a pretty sweet trick. If I ever try a jeep like this ill have to give that a shot |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Excellent suggestion on filling the gaps Walt, thank you. I'll be trying that for sure or maybe I'll just let Mysterion know about it and see what he thinks. |
Re: 1:4 cj3a Talked to Mysterion, he thinks that is a pretty sweet trick. |
Re: 1:4 cj3a "thumbsup" |
Re: 1:4 cj3a wait... this brainchild started in 2010 and still hasn't been completed ? cool... but dang |
Re: 1:4 cj3a |
Re: 1:4 cj3a When that brushless system eats the diffs you should look at the rc4wd 1/5 scale axles. there very scale and would do this build justice. The Ultimate Scale Yota 1/5 Axle Front (Black) I know there not cheap but looking at this build it is something that you should consider. |
Re: 1:4 cj3a I think the axles on it now would be much stronger then the yota's. Glad to see this build is still alive! |
