And heres the upper link mount shown from the rear.

bigdodge88 · 11-10-2009, 01:48 PM

That will be one sweet setup. Cant wait to see it take shape!

rcjeepbuilder · 11-10-2009, 02:08 PM

Thanks man! I hope it turns out like I invision it..
Heres another drawing of the end of the springs where it meets the axle, it will also be the mounting point for the lower link as well.

hairba11 · 11-10-2009, 05:24 PM

looking good. don't expect a lot of spring action in the rear as there is none, don't forget the deuce springs are smaller. like 6 3/8" leaves instead of 13 5/8" leaves like the 5-ton tractor's

rcjeepbuilder · 11-12-2009, 01:23 PM

Small update, I cut all the plates for the spring mounts, and the upper links.

rcjeepbuilder · 11-13-2009, 11:00 AM

Ok I managed to get the upper link mount and the spring perch made.

Now I only have one more upper 3 more lowers and 3 more perches..
Im wanting to run the scale heims from RC4WD but damn their expensive.....Ill have about 70.00 in just the rod ends.

for hardware im looking to use 3m stuff but Im worried about them holding up?? Can some of you gus that are using the small hardware chime in and
let me know how they hold up ....

bigdodge88 · 11-13-2009, 11:14 AM

Great work on this so far man. Looking forward to seeing more.

looneybin · 11-13-2009, 05:29 PM

i always use 3mm hardware and have never had any failures.

looks good

rcjeepbuilder · 11-16-2009, 03:13 PM

Thanks guys, I have work my tail off on these mounts this weekend. Its amazing the amount of time I have in these things..

Their just hot glued on their for now. I have some 3mm hardware on the way ,should be here by wedensday.
I think I am getting this brazing down with the brass, but no matter what I do I cant get the steel to braze up??
Whats the trick????

substantial cleaning and flux. by substantial i mean removing all traces of oils with alcohol, then hit it with a torch to make sure its all gone. while its heated, sprinkle on some flux powder and make sure it melts into the base metal. you have to heat steel pretty good to makeit hot enough for the brass/solder to adhere to it pretty well too.. hopefully this helps, continue on, this is a kickass build!! do you need any more pics? i work on m-35a-2's all the time, if so shoot mea pm.

CUSTOMHILUX · 11-16-2009, 06:24 PM

Thats very cool, why aren't you going to use 3 axels?

rcjeepbuilder · 11-16-2009, 07:29 PM

Crown is my drink of choice.......mmmmmmm!

rcjeepbuilder · 11-19-2009, 08:31 PM

Well the 3mm hardware showed up and Im totaly bummed out...These bolts are way to large..I want to go with some button head bolts that are 1 or 2 mm if they make any???If anybody has a lead on where to get some in 1 to 2mm X 1/2,1/4 and 3/4 long I would realy appreciate the heads up!!any whoo heres the pics of the nasty lary stuff..

I also started to draw up the cab in 10th scale , but same as the bolts it was a waisted venture.....I think its to big for the tires, so Im going to go with 12th scale. And just incase someone wants to know what it looks like in 10th scale ..

Ill post some pics of the finished cab drawings tomorrow from work...Stay tuned and the next post wont be so disapointing..
