srt6's mega truck build
 

Decided to build a megatruck so I started ordering parts

Ordered so for:
*72 Chevy long bed body
*E Revo trans
*Mamba monster 2 esc
*Castle Creations 2200kv
*Axial AR60's, beef tubes and aluminum c-hubs, knuckles, lock outs, upper/lower link mounts, bearing caps, diff covers & servo mount
*3.8 t maxx tires
*Revo axles (for drive shafts)
*Savox sw-1210sg water proof servo
*2x turnigy nano-tech 4s 5000mah 45-90c
*Stainless steel link material and revo ends
*Metal for chassis
*carbon fiber sheet (misc mounts and whatever else)

About to go back out of town for 2 weeks but should be able to get started on fabbing up the chassis when I get back.

Got my axles all put together today, one of the trusses didn't come in yet so I'm still waiting on that and my batteries. Tried to post pics earlier but guess I need to update my membership. Also order some rc4wd 110mm king shocks. Going to narrow the wheels and tires tomorrow and start on the chassis after the weekend.

Thanks man, hoping I can have it finished up next week.

Re: srt6's mega truck build
 

Got the drop crossmember, body mounts and lower links made, gonna make the upper links tomorrow. Still waiting on shocks, truss for the front, wheels and tires. I butchered up the 3.8 tmaxx tires trying to narrow them so I ordered the 2.2 mud bashers. I put a little paint on the chassis just to see what it's going to look like.

Thanks, didn't get much time on it today, should be able to get back on it tomorrow and start on the carbon fiber panels while in wait on parts.
