Re: Derstine's HotRod willys made some decent progress last couple days. been home sick. stupid end of the season clods suck. but this is a good time for building. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys some power under this thing. 1/8 monster truck power that is... gonna be a rocket! http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...ps13629b17.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...ps5f36bd15.jpg |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys ok, sorry if I've missed it, but what is that gearbox/trans from and what size are the output shafts? |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys Awesome!! Looks killer with that motor in there now. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys Quote:
output shafts for the center diff? standard for a 1/8 buggy. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys Loving this build. Makes me want both the rc and full size. I need to get a build thread started for my project. Turning a Tonka pick up into a rc. with super short mad force axles. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys anyone got eyes on a 1/6th scale radiator? |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys I built one for my 1:6 TJ out of styrene... http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps74a1bc4d.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps9389deb9.jpg |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys looks pretty good. i was thinking about making one, but wanted to see what other people were doing. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys Im thinkin about doin a rat myself and came across these engines. Is it roughly the size of a fracture v8? |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys oh no. way bigger, probably twice as big. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys Im thinkin of using that proline rat body and need to find something that will work in place of the lexan and not spend a fortune! Havent gotten into the larger rigs but this is catchin my eye! Cant wait to see what came out! |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys i think it would pretty good with that body. anyone of the 1/6 scale engines would looks great in there. maybe a little big, but awesome. |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys so.... was talking to sellenK earlier. and he had an idea that Creepy Inc. also had. and well. just look. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...psa549002f.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...pse0df3656.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...ps5e9518d9.jpg free wheel front axle! got lots of fabricating left to do. but the goal is to make this and the driven front axle interchangeable. shouldn't be too hard :) |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys ok, so those first pics didnt really show much of the axle. so here you go. tomorrow i mount fab the ladder bar mounts and start thinking about how to make the ladder bars. never brazed 3/8 round stock before. took a while to heat it with the MAPP torch, but once it got red it flowed real nice. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...ps742e936a.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...psb9ea1a49.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...psc7fbe7ac.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...ps2120732a.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...psccafcacd.jpg |

Re: Derstine's HotRod willys MORE!!! :twisted: |
Re: Derstine's HotRod willys got the front ladder bars "done." i want to get some of those 8/32 steel scale heim joints for them to mount to the chassis. i was able to make these out of some 5/16" rod. so they are pretty strong ;) they line up directly with the supershafty.com twin force axle mounts, so i am well on the way to having axles that are easily swapped in the front. some pics. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...pse6fb48d1.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...ps5acfadb8.jpg |
