I've had this body and axles layin' around for a while now.
time to try and make a tuber, its not my first try but it is the closest i have came to completing one and being somewhat satisfied w/ it.

gettin jiggy

thanks

so, right now I'm trying to think of some drive train ideas.
I have three of the same servo motors and two gws or similar micro gear reductions.

Or just a servo as a transmission. But I think that might be too slow.

MGCrawler · 10-23-2010, 08:57 PM

Looks cool man! I like the body alot. I'll be watching the progress on this one.

murdock · 10-24-2010, 11:45 AM

thanks MG

Right now i'm stuck because i need to know what gear ratio is in the 3racing replacement motor kit...

and some micro drive shafts because i really dont want to make them from scratch

murdock · 11-07-2010, 11:55 AM

little more done.
baller status dash,with monitor.

i went with the 3racing winch motor from rpp, its really slow but in the long run i think it will be able to carry the weight.

micro motor mount.

little more tube work done...

murdock · 11-07-2010, 12:02 PM

oh yeah, and my buddy Andres brought this over. so far on the list of things to make w/ it is turned tlt shocks, and maybe some micro wheels

murdock · 11-10-2010, 02:25 PM

sweet, five stars! thanks!

Ah!! You cut up a 4-door body?!? Where did you get that? I need to find a micro 4-door!

youngblood · 11-12-2010, 04:54 AM

Nice work on the micro tranny, what gears are you using? I used that winch motor on one of my micros with a losi microT trans as a transfer case. It worked, but was really slow. Good for desktop crawling.

Keep it up

I tried to sell it on here a while ago, so i figured id use it, and im fond of interior stuff.

The body was a rescue jeep rc from walmart.

Right now they (walmart) have the fj, jeep, and extended dodge bodies alot of people have been using on here for $20 i was thinking of picking one or two up soon if any one else wants me to pick one up for them pm me.

Thanks, they are tamiya tlt gears from the stock kit, I had a few layin' around.

little more progress, got most of the front end together. i like it so far but it still looks a little "boxie" to me.

this little piggy weighs in at 119.9 grms, as it sits in the last pic

murdock · 11-13-2010, 07:20 PM

I saw these little brass u joints like the ones used in this build, and i cant find them anywhere now,
does anyone know where i can find some.

i found these metal proboat ones like this but they are too pricey.

any help is great.
even the diameter of mini quake shafts would help alot!

on this site i dont know exactly what would be appropriate size that i would need

i luv duct tape · 08-23-2011, 12:11 AM

what axles are those?

Hydro-Tank · 08-23-2011, 03:01 PM

What tires and wheels do you have!?

murdock · 10-25-2011, 01:49 PM

they are ssmt axles may swap to losi micro stuff.

Elastokinematic · 10-29-2011, 01:40 PM

murdock · 11-13-2011, 07:37 PM
