Howdy fellow RCA members! Here is my latest project. Its actually a Chevy 50's body, and the truggy from my Nissan Titan Truggy project I started a while back...I ditched the titan and started tweaking the chassis and things to make the Chevy body work.

here is a list of the things that are included:

Drive train:
New RC4WD Steel 1.9 Bead locks
Reduced Losi Rock claws
Axial AX-10 axles, aluminum C's
Pede shafts and steel yokes
Delrin 4-link system
Axial AX-10 tranny
HR dig unit


electronics:
Integy 55T Lathe
Moped ESC
Traxxas TQ3 RX/TX
1300 MAH 2s lipo


Scale Items, and accesories:
Winch
Lights
Scale steering
interior(possibly?)


Left on the building process:
Finish welds and clean up the boogers
Add/remove a few tubes
Chassis mounted servo mount
add foams
Sandblast cage
Paint cage
Sandblast/paint wheels
Turn down TLT shocks to coil over shocks
Make all 8 links 1/4" delrin, and dye them black or copper
Make a skidplate/ possible boadsides


Here is some pics of how the build began...

The truck obviously needs more cleaning and welding, so look past the booger welds :retard:

Update!

No pics, maybe later this weekend.


But I won some 1.9 Beadlock steelies from RC4WD :lol:

I will be reducing some 2.2 claws to 1.9 also.

As for the tube work, I re-did the skid plate. It's flatter and stronger, so that should be better. I also re-did the 4 link. I'm still not sure how the upper link mounts are going to work out. There really different and something seems wrong with it. I'll post pics so you guys can see what I'm talking about tomorrow. really, all I gotta do is make the front shock mounts and its drivable. But I still need more supports, details, grinding, blah blah you know that jazz :wacko:
