Well these are the only pictures of the truck that are left and, It has been torn down and is awaiting a rebuild from the ground up. IFS front, leaf spring and a solid axle rear

Sounds interesting, watching this one

Gula · 01-02-2009, 02:21 AM

Small update:
Frame has been cut, a lot of mocking up has occurred as well as a lot of beers have been downed just to get it mocked up the way it is right now. I also made new shock mounts on the axles, to help with the difference in width of the frame compared to the axles. Also got a box large enough to house the two stick packs that will run this rig "parallel" Had to cut the interior a little to make the frame fit, and make a lot of back and forth changes to get it right (I hope).

Frame is made of 1" inch square stock

Coming along nicely! What are the plans for the bed?

Gula · 01-02-2009, 12:55 PM

Not sure yet

47willysbuggy · 01-02-2009, 01:00 PM

That sounds promising, are you going to make a truggy? or maybe a rollcage in the cab and out in the bed?

Gula · 01-02-2009, 07:32 PM

It will have a solid rod cage over the cab and hood. Over the rear it will be brakeline. I think I'll make it a truggy. I may weld the front crossmember on tonight and start mocking up the links for the front (real PITA) but I think I have it figured out. I still need to buy two 45t lathes, convert the EVX to single battery use, and a bunch of other stuff.

Had to stand the steering servo upright since it was hiting the frame at full turn. Just found out that my weekend was chopped in half so progress will me minimal.

Wrecker · 01-03-2009, 11:21 AM

Is it just me or is there no pictures in this thread?

cruiserkb · 01-03-2009, 12:11 PM

Gula · 01-03-2009, 12:14 PM

I can see them. I copied them over from Scale4x4. Am I doing something wrong?

666 · 01-03-2009, 12:16 PM

Words are cool, pictures are better.

Gula · 01-03-2009, 12:18 PM

PEDEcrawlerguy · 01-03-2009, 12:43 PM

Actually it's not one of yours, both of yours is going on either a 1:6 scale F150 a 1:6 Avalanche, a 1:6 H2, a 1:6 Cherokee, or a 1:6 Scorpion. I still need 3 more of these 1/4 scale servos for my other large builds which are soon to follow after this one is finished

Gula · 01-04-2009, 03:23 AM

Small update, made shock mounts up front, Cut the Fake engine out of the body, fabricated transmission mount and drilled holes where the servo will mount. Lots of mounting going on, now here's the pics:

Gula · 10-28-2013, 10:17 PM

Well almost 5 years ago I started this build, so much has changed. Running a summit tranny, LCC as a t case

Gula · 10-28-2013, 10:26 PM

All I have left to do is mount rear of body, fab linkages for the 2speed and LCC tcase, extend the motor and battery wires, and fab a draglink for steering. Oh yeah and paint frame and body
Tranny:

Servos to actuate FWD/4x4/RWD 2speed

Tow hitch

Front recovery shackle

Battery box
