The King of Moab - Vector Fab's Green Giant (Cover of Crawl Magazine Issue #17)

This is great!!!

I was just thinking the other day, that I would like to see someone build a scaler of that rig!

One of my all time favorites!

Are my eyes deceiving me, or are your uppers and lowers boltted to the same tab on the chassis?

Does it perform well? I would think the pinion angle would change rather dramatically as the suspension compresses.

Cool build oterwise. Keep the updates coming.
 
Is that a servo horn for a steering wheel mount? I was going to do that very thing to my Wreckluse. A small micro servo would work quite nicely. Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks guys

Yeah they're both bolted to the same tab which is a product of my lazyness cause I didn't feel like making upper mounts as well. At some point I might decide to change this. As far as the pinion angle, it does change but nothing that becomes an issue and no binding although the caster of the wheels does change quite a bit thru the full suspension travel.

You got it. It started out as one of those round servo horns and I trimmed away everything that I didn't want.
 
Made the seats from sheet metal and added the floorboards and carpet:

Cut the grill out painted it and glued it in, added the fabric doors, painted the seats and notched out where the sholder belts go thru. It's starting to take shape now and I couldn't resist from taking it for a spin on the rocks:

Made some headlights buckets out of styrene, installed the turn signals, wired up all the LED's:

Messing around and put some 2.2 boggers on it... but I think I like it better with the TSL's:
