[86zuk]

its not perfect but it sticky rock it SA so I havent flipped it

nice zuk btw

[86zuk]

body started
frame started
bumper started
fpv dv90 for inside view.

[86zuk]

Back bumper started with hitch, gas tank started, moor to come.

I have a day off

Oh and the paint looks bad because its the under coat I am going to put a coat of paint on the outside aswell so I was not being carefull when I did that.

A quick update

I just made this D ring and hitch

[86zuk]

more to see more to come

the axle was kinda fat so i put it on a diet.
from this



to this



had to do spua it was to tall spoa





its a roller... you might be able to see that the drive shafts are at some steep angles and thats thanks to the mod i did to get more angle I filed the ears of the U joints so they clear the other side better it helped alot.




so poser shots of the roller

Re did the skid/trany mount made sliders, hitch, and made mounts for the 2 1/10 servos under the hood one is a winch and the other is for steering, made a gas tank/ battery holder (so its an electric fuel tank ) and started the back floor. also trimmed the U bolts.

the frame all nice and perty







these are going to act as the floor and body mounts, the side close to the slider is bent up so the body fits inside of it.





working hitch.



its running and fast... 5230 kv BL and 3 cell LIPO, ok mabe not fast but its twick as fast as my 45t ax-10 on 7.2v















oh and this is the new third ch winch control the red button controls in and the grey button controls out.

Nice vid! It handles well,and has some speed to it too.

[86zuk]

I am constanty amazed with it. I will think any time know its going to tip over on a side hill and it will just keep going. I was haveing a hard time holding the camara and driveing... normaly it goes right up all the rocks in the vid but thats when I am focused.

[86zuk]

then another set of progresive all are in the same spot I just did it twice to get the diferent angles









random shots
