Heres the Yukon I'm putting the axles under... (Note, the version I have is red) It's 1/6th scale, so it'll be monsterous. ***I got tired of that huge Image.. It was a big New Bright Yukon body*** Last edited by PaulEZK; 02-09-2008 at 02:00 AM. |

Well.. A friend of mine saw this thing and flipped... Since it's an original from like 85, he wouldn't let me take it apart so we went to hobby people and got....  A brand new one. Plus some stuff, like two 55 turns and the top link mounts. I went ahead and built the axles up already. I found an old chassis design that I'm going to use for this, so I'm developing the rest of the chassis now. |

I got some more work done last night. I put an ax10 servo plate on each of the metal supports, so I could mount a servo on each axle. I still have to fine tune the steering links, but it's looking good so far. I also rebuilt some old alum hotbody shocks and bolted them to the chassis. I'll try to get some pictures uploaded tonight. Stuff I'm waiting for; (x2) 55t motors (x2) rc4wd upper link mounts Tekin Rebel 2 ESC material to build the links.. I haven't decided on what to use.. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of using 1/8th all thread, then a close fit alum hollow tube over it.. Or should I use some type of metal? Taping is out, so all thread is what I'm using, it's a matter of size though. Also the size of the rod ends. |

Im not much for progress builds... So here it is, almost done... Incidently, thats the first chassis I ever designed and waterjet cut. It's kind of fitting that it goes to my dad. The only thing left to do is paint and mount. This ride was pimped! I think I did a pretty good job, being my first clod.. Man this thing with 55turns and a 10 cell - It screams.. It's so fricken quick. It'll flip standing still. Stats: Tekin Rebel 2 Dual Steer (In sink, not independent) Dual 55T Mostly standard clod axles, locked differentials Narrowed clod wheels Custom chassis and links all the way around.      |

It's for my dad and hes using it for a basher, so I'm not really worried about that. If that did happen, it'll give me a reason to actually design a chassis for it. One a little more bullet proof. This one was just laying around. | |
