Scx10 Unimog build

[Ghane]

After lurking around the forum for a couple of weeks and seen all the cool builds, ive decided to bulid a little unimog.

This is my first build ever and it was a long time since i brazed something so it is not in the same league as other builds here but i think it looks ok.

The setup is

Stock honcho chassi "stock wheelbase to keep it simple"
Roster crawler esc
novak fourty five engine
Hand brother 3-link front and rear
Tamiya cab

Getting started

A little bit on the way

Has anyone any good tips on brazing/soldering 3mm nuts? Tryed brazing some today but it melted . Then i tried tin solder but it didnt want to stick

Interesting man. I'll keep an eye out and see what you come up with. Good to see another heli guy (Trex towel), out there!! "thumbsup"

Were they steel? You should have no problem brazing steel nuts to the steel tube. I have used both nylock and standard 3mm nuts. Of course with the nylocks the nylon insert melted away :ror:

Thanks. it actually performed wery well on the rocks better than i hoped. Those proline tsl:s with the added weights that i have put in the rims have loads of grip and it was more than one time the slipper clutch came in handy
