got the chassis plates cut and drilled. i designed the pattern in autocad(being a architect i tend to over do things for the sake of precision) its 1/4" acrylic, this is my first "plastic" chassis so well see how it holds up. i think it will do just fine with the way is supported by the aluminum... and cut the shock mount, body mount, chassis mount rails to length. chassis upside down, ie table = bottom of jeep body... http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/3535/chassis12th.jpg |

haha yeah i felt allitle gay searching ebay for "ken" dolls :lol: :flipoff: o well when the projects finished i think they'll add to the realism. any way. got the rails drilled and mounted (yeah i work slow, helps the time pass :D ) http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/7226/chassis22gg.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/302/chassis47lk.jpg now i just gotta figure out how i want to mount the rails to the body.... |
rail-body holders of course:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll: |
|
axles and links mounted. next up shock mounts (origonal plan was to bolt them to the angle aluminum, but as you can see there way too long :-( ) i tryed my RS4 shocks (2.5") and they were perfect, but only had .5" of travel...not gonna cut it. also got my jerry can painted up (in the background) http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/1...axleson8ob.jpg |
holy **** dude that is an awesome winch and i cant wait to see the finished product. |
Awesome winch. Horrible username...LOL J/K :flipoff: |
got the shocks all mounted. and got my adjustable motor plates at lunch! ill be mobile tonight! thinking of choping off 1.5" of the black chassis plates adn raisingn the lower link mounts the same 1.5" to make it look more scale with the body one. so they dont hang so low.... what do you guys think? also in the works with diaz are scale chassis rails for it...(ditching everything you see here minus axles and links) http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/9953/shocks9au.jpg |
after two days of assemble, check clearances, disassemble, grind, assemble, check clearances, disassemble, grind, assemble, check clearances, disassemble, grind, assemble, check clearances, disassemble, grind, assemble, check clearances, disassemble, grind, assemble, check clearances, disassemble, grind..... i finally got the rear shocks and mounts stuffed under the rear seat..... the tan u see threw the two big squares is the bottom of the seat.. http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/8...arance11jy.jpg top view with rear seat removed... http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/4...arance24gx.jpg |
more pix por favor!!! When do you expect this thing done? |
well made a MAJOR improvement tonight, decided to hack off 1.5" of the chassis plates, and raise the lower links the same 1.5" drew it up in CAD, made me a pattern, tore the chassis apart, transfered the pattern, drilled the holes, cut the parts off, and reassembled. made a HUGE difference. looks MUCH more realistic. plus i gained 1.5" of ground clearance, shed some weight, and didnt raise my CG at all. woot! (just realized from the pics it looks like the body raised too. it did NOT. just swung the links upward and hacked off the extra, the body and chassis rails are sitting at the exact same height) before: http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/511...tbefore8dm.jpg after http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/609...utafter3np.jpg |
that looks a lot better. |
