That interior is pure awesomeness! Great job.

rag6 · 10-09-2016, 11:33 PM

I started making the matching seat to the rc4wd one I cant find the match for:

Please show us how you mounted that blown motor. Also about the body, why won't someone just release a standard 313mm squarebody truck already lol.

My truck is not with me atm, my bash buddy is borrowing it. Ill post pics of the ridemakerz hemi mount, but its ugly n sloppy underneath. Basically an L bracket shoegoo'd to back of motor, then that assembly glued to underside of hood. Then a sideways arc'd styrene brace under the front of motor shoogoo'd to underside of hood ...

So my seat above, while cool, was much smaller than the one I was matching up to. So after aprox a million pieces I added on, I think this beefier evolution is close enough:

Still need to putty it to fill gaps, sand, primer and paint. Im kinda stoked that I was able to pull it off

HOLY CRAP that was too much work. I dont think ill ever do anything so complicated again. Will have more than 30 hours into it when done8(

Picked up my 35turn rc4wd 10 buck motor, and it needs installed.

I vented my tires and noticing now that they truck now hops much more than it did before on the loose surfaces I run on. I may shoogoo the holes back up and see if it settles down...

More as I go...

If you haven't removed the factory battery tray it might rub on the new motor. I had to take mine off to fit my rc4wd 27t because the solder point was right up against it. Also, the leads are a little short so it may be a stretch without moving esc.

Well, ive been running the rc4wd 45turn since I built my kit. Although it is a little tight next to the battery tray, it does fit standard 540 motors no problem. The 35 turn I just bought is the same design as the 45 turn. Ty for the heads up tho

Ripped out my old interior box. Starting over from scratch....

Lol gonna have to redo everything. But now my skeletons will have some leg room...

Leaving room for (2) 2s sxs packs under the console

What's the point of having that volt meter?

Looking good! That's lipo buzzer, low voltage cutoff.

rag6 · 10-31-2016, 04:11 AM

I set my alarm at 3.8v. I very rarely have to do storage maintenance for my ascender packs.

Ty for the compliments nate. I really think I can pull off this interior with the center mounted trans

Chris81 · 10-31-2016, 06:51 PM

awsome job so far, I've been toying with the idea of doing an interior on mine, and I've never worked with styrene...after looking at your build it makes me want to do it even more. How much extra weight is the interior? that's my one concern. I'd hate to put that effort into it but negatively affect the crawling ability.

rag6 · 11-02-2016, 01:26 AM

Well, im not very efficient with material so far. When I started I was using .060" sheet. Ive since bought '030", and have pulled most of the thick stuff out and am replacing with thinner styrene. It has added weight. It's helped my performance in the loose conditions I run in so far. Im trying to keep the majority of the material down near the frame rails, but in the end this truck will be a pig. As long as it performs scale in the end, I guess im ok with it. Id suggest really thinking out how you will do it. I just started slapping stuff in, and I will have to redo most, if not all of it. There is a lot of time involved I wish I could have back. But it sure is sweet when an assembly drops in and fits the way its supposed to

rag6 · 11-03-2016, 04:32 PM

So have the trans tunnel, and console lid roughed out:

rag6 · 11-03-2016, 05:29 PM

rag6 · 11-04-2016, 03:48 PM
