SlinkySam, Your TINY project is exquisitely unique not only in the fact that it replicates a historic 1:1 crawler with some unique engineering (rear axle) but your TINY also is accomplishing a fine scale element as well. Sam, I really look forward to your future posts and finally TINY's completion. This is truly one of the most interesting build threads currently running. Stormin' |

| I love this build! Great choice, this could be in the comp,scale,or just way to COOL section and it would fit right in. -H3 |

WOW... thanks for the motivational responses . The compliments are above and beyond what I would give it... haha. I think I need to keep the lights down, the camera far away and the pictures blurry so I don't wreck anyone's perception of the build. Actually, for anyone who knows me and my fab skills .. cough.. duct tape... cough.... zip ties .... cough... this is far advanced above anything else I have done. ANd most important, I am not building it the night before or day of the competition. On a side note, I was taking a break from my wedding work and looked what tubing I have left to cut, bend, and weld and it appears that I am out of stock. So I had to go buy yet another stick. Tubers aren't cheap as I am finding out. -Sam |

Axle trusses?? What is this, the '80s? Who runs axle trusses anymore? No updates at the moment. I have to take some pictures and clean up some stuff. I have all 4 shocks mock-up mounted. I just got in the proper rims also for the true look, but of course, I am not ultra happy with them due to their rediculous back spacing. It should be an easy fix. I also just got in some more tubing to finish up the rest of the chassis braces. Unfortunately for the moment, I am putting this one down in order to get my 1:1 rock crawling rig up and running again. Damn rotary engines seem so simple until they don't work. I have a wiring rats nest to rework. yay. -Sam |

| Sorry bro. No updates lately. I haven't touched it in a while. Free time is at a premium these days so I spend that on getting my 1:1 rig running again. The thing stopped working one day and I have been disecting it ever since to remedy it. I just finished wiring up the engine compartment tonight. The Rotary is acting finicky. On project TINY, I have located the rear shocks and front shocks, but I am going to cut the front off to fix the "scale" problem. I am just not happy with the angles that I got out of it. Here is a shot of it with all 4 shocks and posed on the rocks. I think I can have it done by Folsom. I hope anyway. -Sam |
