...Frame build...

~ step one ~

1/2" X 1/8" flat bar, mild steel.

220/40 Lincoln 180 mig gets it done.

Welded up the saddle and mounted that to the skid plate
to be sure I got the alignment right :twisted:

IMO... this stage requires the most precision.
as getting the 8 screw holes aligned with the skid...
was a little tricky and was less then perfect...
So the dremel was administered to oblong a hole or two.
Not too far off tho' 8)

That outta the way... the remainder should be a walk in the park ;-)

The front has no interference with the body...
And clears the interior's foot wells perfectly.
Tho' the rear may require that I channel the interior's sub floor
just a little.
I'm currently weighing my options on doing that.

time

to finish
 
I bought this over a year ago on sale at Home Depot

it not set up and never even been plugged in

sits in my shop collecting dust

I had big plans for it

but once I found how expensive it was to rent a bottle

to weld small material

now I'm not sure

~ I need an 1/18 scale crawler... so's I can build a 1/6 quad to go with muh TJ ~

( just thinking out loud ) :oops:

looks simple enough...
just wonder what the body shell/panels come off ? scratch built ? hmmm

Awesome job so far. Very thought out fab work. Really liking where you are heading with the build.

I like the Quad idea for sure. Maybe one of those ECX Temper or the Redcat Volcano or Everest i think it is called for little $$.
 
^ thanks

-----------------

Thinking about altering the frame...
and adding some link riser plates
so's I can adjust the upper link position(s) !?

what's the opinion ?

Hey Taco Chips

I got 2 Exceed 1/18 the scale crawlers

the Green Chassis is stock except I shoe horned in 380 brushless motor

and the second one was made by another person on here

and I just never finished them out,

cause you really cant beat on them and the 380 motor is probably over kill

they don't have the a Chassis that look like the quads

but with some aluminum plate you could make a u shaped

chassis, like the ones in the quad pictures

Or make a small AX10 version frame

the Jeep body will work on both chassis

but I like the yellow body better

it gives a monster truck look

Hey Taco

You could make your own chassis and skid plate

and look on here or online and see if you can

find MRC axles and a MRC tranny or Exceed axles and a Exceed tranny

they make aluminum C- hubs and knuckles and lock outs for the MRC axles

they there is no upgraded parts for the Exceed or very limited aluminum parts

meh... I likely wouldn't play with it much anyways...
would just look cool towed behind the TJ.

Think I'll get one of them Exeed/maxstone rtr's
I found one for $ 114. shipped...
Tho' maybe I can get one cheaper !?

I might hassle with making a body body for it...
but the rest isn't getting too much attention.

K.I.S.S or forget it. ...is muh "can do" spirit/legacy ;-)

Couldn't hurt, if you have the room there, plus it'll give you a couple different options for suspension tuning. Good idea"thumbsup"
 
Taco

small world I was also

A Navy Sea Bee an EO which is Equipment Operator

my reserve unit was in Northern Ca, 2 weeks a year went to Port Hueneme

in Southern Cali, for training

I had fun and almost went on active duty

but I decided to stay home and work construction

I worked for the Electricians Union and the Carpenters Union for years

one trade would slow down in the winter, I would switch trades and work inside all winter, then when it picked up in the spring I switch back

and fore a couple times a year

Hey Taco

check this out

here are 2 1/16 scale quads with riders that are pretty cheesy for been a RC

and not very expensive one is $36.00 an the other is $42.00

But I also found this 1/18 scale Quad with no drivers and is pretty bad ass and is die cast not a RC

I like it cause there is no drivers, and you might be able to put a Wild Willy Driver in it

I would buy the third one my self and make a small flat bed for it and make tie downs

and make look scale with loading ramps

or you could make a scale trailer like the one you have for your Tacoma

you could use a SCX10 axle and Tamiya Leaf Springs and 1.9'' wheels and tires

or maybe make it a 1/8 scale trailer or bigger

I know you can find 1/10 quad body's that Lexan if you look hard enough you might find a hard body one

or a golf cart or a John Deere Tractor in 1/10 scale

1/16 and 1/18 your limited

That's why I bought extra's of the Yellow ones
