what motor you gonna run ?

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

not sure yet, I want to run a huge outrunner with a mamba max and a 12v gell cell

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

I know you guys have been waiting for an update, so here it is. I finally got some time today and got the main tube work almost done. This thing is huge :mrgreen:. ps if anyone has some 40 series crushers I really need some.

 

[acrosteve]

Nice work.


How much does the frame weigh right now?

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

6.6 lbs the way it sits :mrgreen::shock:

 

[toy4crawlin]

dud e that tube work is great
it's way to heavy for just a chassis, when that thing falls and rolls you better get out of the way :lol:

 

[super mud]

Did you just tack those joints together with silver solder or is that a weld?:shock:

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

its tacked with a lincon 110 mig using flux core wire. I can do beautiful mig and tig but this is what im stuck with

 

[super mud]

really? My dad just bought a cheap 110 flux cored mig welder but I don't feel like trying to screw with it. Do you get alot of spatter? it dosn't look like it on ur frame.

 

[toy4crawlin]

I have the same welder
Lincoln pro mig 110, ebay $350.
I use 24g with argon c02 mix, it took a while to get the right settings to get a nice bead but it's great now

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

just got the main part of the diff carriers cut out last night, I still hsve to cut out the recess for the ring gear and bearings, then make the bearing caps.

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

I finally got the 3rd members done so now I can start on the axle housings :mrgreen:

 

[Code454]

[jeepcj578]

[Code454]

ddi you do the maching yourself and if so is it a mini mill or full size

 

[supercrawlerfreak]

I did everything myself. the front turning operation was done on a manual bridgeport lathe. the second back operation was done on a haas cnc mill which I hand wrote the program for, as well as the second operation on the back. I did all of this at the NTMA trainig center im attending here in so cal. In 2 weeks I will be a certified machinist:mrgreen:
