War Pig's all new '34D

[hotwheels000]

So with a servo programmer you can get any hitec digital servo to swing 180 degrees ? Great to here I like Hitec servos.

not any hitec, most 7900 series and 5900 series. I cant recall the exact specs.

Just because they are digital does not mean you can program them to swing 180 degrees.


Sorry Tim for the Hi-tec thread jack.

Thanks Devlin (?)

I've been working on this rig here and there.

Got the front links finished.

After looking at the rear suspension, I can tell that I'm going to have issues with the rear pumpkin and frame rail...

Time to get going on the front shock mounts and tubework.

Shock truss pieces cut out and cleaned up on the bench grinder.

Holes drilled.

Time for silver solder....

Finished.

After a few minutes with a flap disc and bench grinder wire wheel.

Tube work has started....

Stay tuned, more to come....

Shock truss looks great Tim"thumbsup"

I dont know weather to cry or be amazed. your doing a great job and actually at the same time making me wonder if using the Wraith axles are a good idea for my JEEP build. Damn you Mr Fab. Damn youzzzz!

 

[War Pig]

Ha ha! I have more updates.....

So after spending 3 hours on that last front shock truss, it didn't work....so I threw it away and built another.

Also built the tubes that go from the cage to the grill area, made the winch mount, installed the shocks, etc.

All linkage has clearance, I get as much compression travel as I need, and the steering is spot on! I'm sooo excited.

With the cab and hood on for mock up. I think it's going to look TOUGH!

The side panels on the hood are tall enough that I will be able to use them to cover up the electronics.

Time to finish the cab cage and start on the rear clip....

Time to get going on a new rig now that Short Willy is headed east.

This will be my new Class 3 truck.

The '34D "thirty for-d"

SCX10 chassis rails, rebent with a delrin flat skid.
Parma '34 Ford pickup cab
Tekin Pro4 brushless short course motor
Tekin RS Pro (on 3s)
Axial transmission: Robinson Racing gears, Vanquish case, 32 pitch gears
GCM t-case
Axial axles: wide beef tubes, XR10 (chubs, knuckles, axles) Hot racing lockers, hardened gears.
Hitec 7980 front, 7950 rear
Quicksand winch

......and lots of bitchin' tube work and gussets. Since I'm going with a lexan body this time *cough* cough* I'll have to make up for it with some cool touches.

Should be fun!

Here I was thinking you were going to all that work on the front shock truss just to cover it up with the body. Looks trick. Will be watching to see what you do with rear end.

 

[666]

Grrrrr looks really mean Tim!

 

[GREEDY GENIUS]

Some nice work going on here.

Good luck with the rest of the build.

Those truck cabs are 49" tall in 1:1, those tires must be like 60" :shock:
