Hey Pinch, you need to get some updates on this thread as it's turning into a battery tech-a-thon :lol:

Sent from my 8 year old HP laptop with 512mb of RAM and a 40GB HD, running Windows 3.12.

I just got done trying this and oddly enough the batteries blew up and almost burned down my garage.

Are you sure this works?

mmm...that blows. but i guess thats how you get the cash flo to build ur rig..lol i know what ya mean tho it sucks spending all ur time working on other peoples stuff and cant even get to urs..kaetwo's is looking pretty nice are u going with the same concept. i mean with the panels and interior. i was just curious if the 2 of u was gonna have identical rigs or mix it up with the panels. i know on his that black and white looks good togather..so are there any build threads on what ur doing now other that the sammi rig

They will be similar looks but different colors. Don't know what color for mine yet.

No other builds going on. I need a complete Street build for Montana and need to finish this also

I saw the pic and it freaked me out a little... So I had to use it.

 

[PinchFlat]

Ok I know it has been a long time since I was able to post some updates on this. I promise i will have some updates up this week. My goal this week is to get all the body panels on and tackle the interior.

That being said here are a few reasons I haven't been able to work on ANY of my personal rigs (hell I don;t even have a class 1 rig for montana yet)... :evil: I have been building for everyone but myself... Here are 3 of the builds I have been working on: A Bronco, a Tundra Truggy & a Tundra Double Cab KOH (Yes, a 4-seater KOH rig :shock: ).

Damb Pinch just a little busy!:shock: Nice work!

Thanks... & Yeah yeah.... it is what the customer wanted... I don't really like duplicating others work but it was done as a favor & it was an awesome & clean build to reproduce. "thumbsup"

*EDIT... BTW you will notice no sheet metal sliders... I broke my 18" brake trying to bend some 18 ga sheet metal... :shock:

 

[War Pig]

Busy...busy.....that was me last year. I was working on the D90 tube buggy for Gainey and barely had enough time to finish my rigs. Not this year....my problem is a big family and lots of stuff to do around the house that aren't r/c related.

Oh yeah that too... The HUGE spring Honey-Do list is in the mix too...

Yeah since I was taking a break for a few month to enjoy my new baby boy, I turned down a few requests to build that chassis for a few guys. Hell, I don't even like reproducing my own work!:shock::lmao:

Yep seen the sliders were tube, sucks you broke your brake. All my sheet metal parts are made with 16ga., but I do work at a sheet metal shop with a nice assortment of breaks and shears and ect...."thumbsup" I even have an extra set laying on my bench.

Very cool to see the EB cloned! Love to see what the owner does with it. Making some improvements to to mine this week.

 

[PinchFlat]

yeah those baby thing tend to change your focus a but. ;-) I didn't want to attempt bending 16ga... I think my break would have actually blown up. :lmao: I wish I had access to a real shop... Hell even access to a media blaster would be awesome. The new owner of the EB says he will send me pics and/or start a thread here. (BTW that EB body is surprisingly straight...usually Lexan bodies are all weird and out of alignment. It sure makes it easy to build a cage for.)

So I'm actually done with the build for others and I can now shift focus to my own builds for Montana now... YEAH! (BTW I updated the pics of the Tundra Double Cab KOH with the cage done & painted)
