1:6 CXT Build This is my first build in a long time. I am on a budget so no high end parts for now. The frame and suspension links will be made from Carbon Fiber. The colors I have are Black,Red,Blue,Silver and Yellow I don't know which one I will use. The truck is to big for Rock crawling so it will be a little Rock crawling and truck pulling like tractor pulling with a sled. The parts list is small but its a start. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010442.jpg [IMG]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x105/jjr99/P1010443.jpg[IMG] I will use one of these Carbon Fiber color's for the frame and suspension links. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010263.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x105/jjr99/Blue.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010293.jpg |
Can't wait to see how this goes. But if you really want it to be a crawler then it is very possible. It all depends on how capable you want it to be. |
I am open to any suggestion. The frame will be more to scale like the Bruiser. I am going to start making the flat sheet of Red Carbon Fiber. The sheet will 3-ft. x 2ft. and 1/4-in. think, that way there will be enough to make the suspension links. |
Whered you get that truck from? I wanted to buy one for my little cousin since we saw a 1:1 version of that the other day and he got so excited.. I checked e-bay and a few online stores and couldnt seem to find it.. Thanks! P.S. Looks like its going to be a good build! |
Take a look at the k2 chassis those are scale chassis but you would have to make your own. Since there only like 12" and 16" or you can make a simple ladder chassis. do you want it to be a crawler,trail truck,or a puller? it all depends on what you want the truck to do. that will determine on how you should build the chassis. |
I've seen them at walmart |
I found them out her in California at a swapmeet. |
|
My god, that is huge. |

They worked great Thanks. |
As big as that truck is and with the size of the tires, have you thought about using a droop type suspension so that your COG and ride height would be lower. I cant wait to see this thing finished with all the carbon fiber details. |
I want to build it some what to scale, but if when I cycle the suspension I find that it needs a sub frame I will. Keep in mind I would like to do some Rock Crawling with it and truck pulling with a sled which is my next project. |
Thats huge!!! looks great cant wait to c it done:lol: |
I just installed some parts on my Clod Diff. Delrin Diff Locker,servo,steering links,servo saver,wheel adapters,wheels and tires. Servo HS 5645 MG http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010480.jpg Delrin Diff Locker http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010493.jpg Servo Saver http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010496.jpg Wheels and tires http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010498.jpg Clod Axel http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010499.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010500.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...9/P1010505.jpg |
i dont think a 645 and servo saver are gonna be very good at turning those tires. but good lukc with the build, a droop suspesnion would be awesome. |
I looked around to see what every one is running. I found almost half of the people using the HS 5645 MG and this servo saver with big tire. The info I got was from the sticky in the Clod section. Is this info out of date? |
|
Awesome,hey BTW did you ever get that body from bronco? |
I got the cab but no bed. |
