If you guys haven't checked it out yet, you need to see what Trevor is organizing on the RCEC FB page. What started off as a whim has turned into quite a cool competition.
https://www.facebook.com/RCECTTC/
40+ builders from across the US are building replicas of past TTC competing rigs from the Four Wheeler top truck challenge. The rig has to have competed and once a rig is selected, you have to find a different one as it's first come first serve. If things work out, there will be a TTC event next summer for all the competitors that can make it to compete.
You know I couldn't miss out on this one.
I love Broncos so I had to pic one and I just liked the compact size and big tires of Geoff's 66. He competed in 2006 at TTC XIV against Sam Collins who you may know on the forums as sam63.
Here is Geoffs Rig.
The competition is to be as true to the rig as it was at the competition. I want it to be scale but I also want it to perform. I had to go with a badass scale drive train so I'm using GCM trans/transfer (based on the ssd trans).
I plan to use wraith axles at full width if I can. If not, I'll narrow them down. I've ordered Proline Bogger 1.9's as I think they will fit the scale of the proline 66 bronco body i'm using. Since I don't have them yet, I mocked up with some 2.2 ripsaws that are about the same diameter.
The body needs more trimming and I have a lot of work to do. But the deadline isn't until April :mrgreen:
Current parts list plan:
Electronics -
Airtronics MT4
SSD Ox winch with Castle esc for control
Castle 2850kv Slate motor with mamba X ESC
Savox 1230 servo with castle BEC
Have to find a way to package 2200mah 3S packs in it somewhere :shock:
Chassis -
Custom tube 3/16" DOM tubing on a rail front frame. All brazed together.
This will be the first chassis I do wihout an axial skid. Going to make it look like the real thing.
Proline 66 bronco for the deadbolt. All cut up to follow the scale of the 1/1 and have an opening hood.
Driveline -
GCM LRT2 trans tcase combo - GCM motor cover
Dlux mod wraith front axle w/ beef tubes and Axial Uni's
SSD centered plastic D60 rear axle
SSD scale driveshafts
Axial 43/13 axle gears and incision spools
Wheels/Tires -
1.9 PL Boggers with a custom setup of CI foams
1.9 Locked up RC wheels with TR rings
