6 X 6 terra-pup

[bl4derr1]

Hi Guys, New to the Forum, but i thought i'd show you a Build i started a few weeks ago. No expensive spending on this.
Started off with a home built Chassis and a pair of Axles


Had an old E-Savage ESC which was used to check the Gearboxes with and all was working fine

Front Axle was added and rough alignment done


Spent a few hours setting the suspension up, but still needs work on it.







Still got plenty to do on her but this is where i'm Aiming to get, Colour yet to be determined.

Cool build man, i'm following this one. for some reason the more axles the more i like

[bl4derr1]

Thanks guys, still struggling a bit with the steerig tho' Axles widened approx 15mm either side and with a 20kg servo she still seems lazy ? Should the Tyres have a foam in them as it could be there's so much Rubber on the Ground.

Are you hoping this rig will float? kinda like the 1:1's do? Then I would try and do a low air pressure in the tire, rather than foam.

That would be awesome if it floated.

Well started the Body, long way to go but it's a start !





Need to cut 1/2" off the bottom of the front ( little to deep ! )

[bl4derr1]

Well Guys a few hours spent on her today. Windows Cut Doors Hinged. Unsure about cutting rear Quarter windows tho' ! yes/no ???
Anyways a few more Pics.






jesseRS10comp, Can fit a 1/8 Buggy ion the Bed it's so Big !!!

[jesseRS10comp]

wow man once its built up put your trucks or car on it and shoot some video and good luck with the build i will follow this one

[bl4derr1]

And a bit more ! front end and wheel Arches done in Styrofoam, Hinges for doors arrived through the post this morning.
Lighter next to wheel for proportion.








Thinking this is more 1/6th scale than anything else now ( well at least i can use Action Man Figures now ! )

Clod axles never had the best steering angle anyway... but you could add some rear-steer to get the turning circle a bit tighter.
20kg servo should be more than enough to turn stock clod tyres, but you might need to get an BEC to power it properly otherwise it wont be as strong as it says on the box
Castle creations CC-BEC is one of the best and also smallest BEC's, but you can get cheaper ones that will do just as well. They are however often bigger, but I dont think space is going to be an issue for you

With a stack of spare aluminium and 6 spare clod axles on my shelf, I'll be watching this build closely
