Wow summer sure took its time getting here and now it’s almost over. A little update.  Tiny truck up and running. Oh how quickly I found out how boring my backyard is. That’s ok. Next update will be from my 2 week camping trip. I’m bound to find some good crawling along the way.  Had to throw in a pic with Riley one of my ascenddogs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well first campground was no fun for a crawler. Flat grass. Flat dirt. Flat sand. So how about some crawler updates. Added some paint to my fender liners. Also i picked up some U channel from McMaster Carr to keep the edges from rubbing paint off the body.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice work! Glad you bumped this thread, or I would have never seen it. I just spent some hours working on mine. Just ordered some input shafts so I can use normal drive shafts, as I have the RC4wd blazer that I'm converting to a pickup truck. Stretched out the chassis to fit 313mm, now I need to make some new links on my lathe. Those wheels and that bumper look great!! |

Pretty cool thread. Do you own these cnc machines or are they where you work? Do you have more pictures of your set up and operation for the wheels? Any chance you would be willing to share the files on your wheels with me? I have a small home machine shop and that would be a fun project. Thanks!

Hey Stomp all the custom parts were made at a shop I recently retired from. Sadly I didn’t keep the files. With no access to the software or machines they do me no good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looks great! I've had a couple of those square body chevs myself, your RC really pulls it off.
