RC Bashers

thanks man. lots left to do.

got the new rubber today! its awesome. mounted right up, no issues at all. cept its so sticky i cant turn the wheels havles to line up the holes. just have to line them up and then press together.

lmao, awesome! Those look great MJ.

got the axles DONE. panhard mount and all. time to start the links...

take a look.
drilled some holes through the lower link mount from Supershafty to attach the chub, and also keep things from moving.





clocked the axles pretty good.



and the panhard mount. just some hacked up 1/2" steel pipe.







and the whole shabang

Lookin good man, beefy!

damn those things are THICK! Very clean work MJ.

yup, yup. i like it big. ..errrrr

makin links.

got some 1/4 aluminum rod from homedepot. cut to 75mm. drilled and tapped with 4mm. for 4x20mm grub screws. added ball joints. links.

6 more to go for the front. fun!

oooo, nice. Id like to have some of those. You gonna polish them? You need a little bling on this thing.

i need to take them apart again, chuck them on the drill press and sand paper them to get the plier burs off. i dont have any polish. was thinking of painting these with some black krylon. everything metal was gonna be black on this sucker.

body will be desert sand color.

what's this?





hint, almost got the front linked up

Im going to say....pan hard mount? BTW, a little part of me cried when I read that you were just painting those links black.

its the top center link mount for the pan hard. no really for the panhard. but part of the whole front link system.

you cried? im sorry bud, you need a hug?

didnt want to make it too flashy. the bob is lall OD green. this might as well be boring.

or i'll paint the whole thing orange!

lmao, dont do that, no bright colors on here. Just a little flash from underneith is all, lol. And I wasn't crying, my eyes were sweating.

here are some nice mock up pics. just need to get the shocks on this weekend.

interesteing concept on the rear suspension.

very nice work so far my friend! coming along nicely.

whats interesting about the rear?

Careful hd likes them rears

Man you do some nice work mj, almost there!

yeah, he must like something about it...

thanks man. its coming along. gotta get the shocks and the servo mounted, but i had to order some new parts to complete the shocks, and wait for the servo horn so i can get the servo in the right spot. so just fabbbing parts tomorrow so i can install them when the ordered ones come in.,

nevrmind. I got lost in all of the awesomness that is Kaiser. In other words, I was looking at the pic for the front and for some odd reaso I thought it was the rear setup

nope, no panhard in the rear. that would be a bit funny looking.

the panhard is a pretty funny setup to me too. i know its scale and all that, but man it does not travel on center at all. hole thing wings from left to right during travel. the plan is ot limit the articulation on this rig anway, since its gonna be pretty scale, but it still moves quite a bit.

took some height off the hood. looks a bit better i think now. just need to straighten the lines a bit.

got the driveshafts done, and the stub shafts ground down so that i can bolt the wheels up. just need the shocks parts to come in and i'm good. going with some pretty short shocks on this. i dont want all that articulation you get with a scx 10 on this thing.

gotta mount the servo this week and start the electrical stuff. wont be to hard. then its all sorts of crazy detail stuff for the cab...

need some short travel scale shocks, I've got the TS02's I'll hook you up with.

was looking at those. gota couple parts coming in for mine. but yours would look better. give me till wednesday. and i'll let you know man
