I've started this rig on September, but I wasn't reaaly pleased with the result till now. This is a budget build in order to keep my money for my Clod based rig, but u know how hard it is to resist... Had to buy another TQ3, Hi Lift shocks...
I began with clocking the stock tranny:
reworking the stock motor plate allows me to keep the plastic cover... A 96t spur is installed however with just a few grinding.
The chassis is made of some aluminum I had laying around.
The links are 3mm threaded rod with alum tubing.I wanted to get the shock mounted outboard and bring the lower links in towards the drive shafts. This will allow more stability and also help the car from loading up while flexing. U can see the dig setup, re-using the stock steering servo + mount. A custom 7 cells 3600mah pack sits between the upper links.
A well known servo mount... Just had to file it a bit to get full steering at the left knuckle. Cen Genesis steering servo.
A set of Mashers 2k is installed on narrowed stock rims. Picked an old Marui Golden Eagle's driver and fitted the New Bright's Rockcrawler body... Functional front and tail lights.
The exhaust was a keyring...
The final result with Hi Lift shocks.
The spare wheel will be swapped with a Weld rim with an Interco TRXUS, and the TR2 that is on my Clod will be in as soon as I'll get my Rooster Crawler. Or a Mamba max. And soon alum knuckles and hubs.Oh yeah, very hard hobby!!!
Thx King Bling and TCS..."thumbsup"
