ford F350
 

Thought I would try building a dually... ENJOY"thumbsup"

That is sick! Any body off shots? How did you mount the duallies?

the dually wheels are made by cutting the center out of one rim, then cutting that rim in half, then gluing those halfs to the sides of a normal rim. didn't even take the beadlock rings off. but i did remove the screws and glue the ring to the rim. the servo is glued to the body. not the best idea when it comes to needing a new servo but it does keep the steering geometry better. the drive shaft in the front is stock. the rear is made out of miniquake axles and has a midship bearing. the shocks are from a mirco t, i enlarged the endcap holes to fit the stock screw more losely as to prevent binding.

thanks for looking:shock:

Omg!
 

Please elaborate on the build! "thumbsup"

Sweeeeeet. Looks like those trucks they use in "redneck" pull contests (usually at mud-runnin comps)! Now you need to make another and have a pull-off!!!

Very nice..... good idea on the dually rims.

What made you use dual shocks in the rear though? It looks great, just curious......

a real redneck puller would have 3 axles!!!!

just looks cool, really the body was to heavy for the micro t springs. in the front i was able to squeeze the stock crawler springs onto the micro t shocks. works the same with less travel.

what would you like elaboration on? there has been a lot to this build and more to come.

looks good, what did you use to support the second rear driveshaft? Is that a bearing and small shaft?

Yes, there is a bearing in the center. The smaller shaft is the male half of the stock shaft glued, into the female half of a miniquake axle. (mouth full) Because the shaft never needs to telescope it was OK to glue to length. The longer telescoping shaft is a complete MQ axle. The yokes on the MQ axles are hollow so I used a screw to clamp a bearing between them. Then clamped the bearing to the crossmemder on the chassy.:shock: I'm sorry I dont have a photo from assembly:cry:

Other than being pretty bitchin, all I wanna know is...

What Geffen servo is that?

looks like a hitec hs55 or a chinese knockoff of it since i dont see the hitec sticker on the top of it. i like puttin guesses in to see how close i am to being right :mrgreen:

You need to get another micro and make that a trail rig and use the ford as your towing vehicle.

good guess tyhodge07, it is a hitec i had in a heli. the sticker is gone from trimming the case. also the wire is a new longer one i need to reach the esc in the back of the cab

one of the best build I have seen so far. Keep it up!!

wow thanks. I've wanted to make this model into an RC for about 15 years now, just took losi to push me to do the work. thanks agian

wow i really want to build one of these really bad.....but i want to make it an 01 4 door long bed if you got any helpful tips for me pm me please do it and where do most people get your model body from?

well its been awhile, i have updates on this rig. i put in the tail lights in and new front bumper. i also thought i would try leaf springs in the back. also beefed up the frame."thumbsup"

It just gets cooler and cooler!
