SUBSCRIBED! This is my kind of rig! I dig it. How do you like the glue on wheels?

Thanks!
I've always like the CI 6 bolt wheels, really wish they were offered in a 1.9

wicked cool pd. Curious to know why you are bothering with brazed joints, why not tig weld the entire thing?

Thank you

I cut the section of frame rails out of the rear to convert to truggy rear. I currently do not have a Tig welder, on the hunt for another. So brazing is sufficient for now

Rear fuel cell plate with some dimple dye work

VFD pro trans with OD all fit up, had to make a mount for the front

Going to try one of these outrunner thingy's too

Further assembly, everything clears and cycle smooth, this thing should rock in the rocks :mrgreen:

Front inner fenders and Limit straps on front only

Had to drill and tap a hole to match the other side of the VP Capra axle for the limit strap
