Man, that's looking nice. Wish I had the equipment, knowledge, available space, etc, to do something like that

I need to seriously start teaching myself to tig in such a small scale

 

[Szczerba]

Very cool! You brazing those stack of dimes? Hard to tell.

 

[distinctive pd]

Thanks guys it is all tig welded other than the front servo mount is brazed "thumbsup"

 

[Szczerba]

What TIG machine?

 

[distinctive pd]

I use a Miller Dynasty 400. Very smooth machine "thumbsup"

 

[JatoTheRipper]

Nice work! I like the start.

 

[Szczerba]

That Miller 400 is just a tad outside my RC welding budget! haha.

I wish it was mine but I don't have the capability to run 480v. I do most of my tig at work.

Been working on axles a bit. Made a alum panhard mount for the axle for proper Geo.....

Drilled and tapped another hole for mount in existing meat.

 

[distinctive pd]

Axles 90% assembled

 

[Panther6834]

Nice "color swap" on the allows axles. I went with the black axles, but noontime the silver servo mints on both axles...with black Futaba servos.

Awesome cage work.

 

[distinctive pd]

Thanx guys this had been a fun quick project for nats...

LOL I've thought about it myself, have the machine, not the desire. Keeping my RC projects in check.

Do like the effort put forth by others, nice to see the work.

Yeah, little lazy when it comes to my hobbies too. I don’t have the machine though. Only a basic mig and stick machine.

Started dash piece and painted chassis. I used a stainless flek paint on it to try and get close to the Vanquish Gray.

Also excited to try it the team garage hack trans, I built a try for a buddy awhile back with this trans and he seems to really like it.
I'm pretty happy with the build so far

Coming along,


Fuel cell and gel cell batteries mounted, a little body paint.

Also made some ultra thin rear inter fenders from alum. Put a couple dimples in it.
