Truck is SICK!

 

[maximusraylius]

thx pope ... eventually itll be a true 1 off ... custom parts 1 by 1 takes a long time to do .

 

[Pope]

Yep they take forever. Make sure you keep cardboard templates for everything incase you need to make replacement parts.

 

[maximusraylius]

yeah been using thick poster board as templates..

 

[Pope]

Always bad when you break something and have to figure out measurements all over again.

 

[maximusraylius]

yeah.... and this one shouldnt ever break any parts other than gears or dog bones .. just made for pulling the sleds ...

 

[Pope]

Yep. Pullers get pricey. Drive trains need replaced often. Btw diff lockers front and back and flux trans.

Pope that's cool is it possible to use a fuelie engine in it or at least something more suited to.its massive size like a da_50

[Rc Zombie]

Is it possible to put one on it if so I may consider it as a build one day I just like the fuelie low cost fuel price

[maximusraylius]

I'm lost on your post rc zombie ..lol... but you have to use a nitro for competition pulling ... small block class big block class and unlimited class.... and theres a electric class.... alll have their own set of strict rules ...

 

[Rc Zombie]

Oh I understand the rules now for sled pulling I didn't know I mostly bash unless its 2wd buggy and stadium truck I like the idea of a 5th scale savage but for bashing with a baja 5b motor in it just to putt around with I didn't know if it was possible to put one in that set up and figured you guys would be the ones to ask

[maximusraylius]

ohhhh gotchya ... no its to narrow and different set ups ect for a fuelie ... but would be sweet ...

 

[maximusraylius]

200 holes per tvp counting each side of each tvp.100 holes then flip it over to deburr the inside holes. so a total of 400 presses with drill press i knew it was alot and seemed never ending ...

 

[maximusraylius]

more detail to the tierods and the tvps.. next is some sheet metal work on the cage ...

 

[Pope]

That thing is a monster

 

[maximusraylius]

yes it is alex... deffinately has a purpose for the weight of it lol...

 

[Pope]

How much does your counter weight hold?
