Well this project changed hands to me heehee.

I am going to change it around a bit, using a Jk body.(My old chassis is for sale) Going to add some armor ect.

As always comments, suggestions welcome.

 

[slow-go]

that looks sick

 

[lonleycreeper]

Thankyou,
I lowered the truck a little, changed the rear springs, changed the shocks in front, moved the servo a little(new servo mount)

 

[lonleycreeper]

Fixed the steering, just have to mount the reciever nd she will be ready to roll.
Under full compresion it touches otherwise I'm good.

Did a couple of things on this rig today, hacked an inch off the rear, made a new rear body mount, and a esc mount.

 

[lonleycreeper]

New front bumper,

 

[lonleycreeper]

New rear bumper & fenders

Need to figure out a way to mount the fenders?

 

[lonleycreeper]

I only got one pic of my rig on our crawl today, haha oops.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Went for a crawl today, it got shortened by breakage I broke a part I was not expecting, the yoke of the rear driveshaft.
First obstical of the day.

and then she broke

 

[lonleycreeper]

Ordered my straight axle adapters, strc.

 

[King James]

its always good to see someone still using wk axles, looking good cant wait to see what you do with those fenders

Never seen a 3 speed WK before, looks fun"thumbsup"

 

[lonleycreeper]

Thankyou for the the replys guys, yeah she is alot of fun, I need a 4ch controller so I can shift on the fly, and control my winch. I have an idea on the fenders, but my work bench is destroyed right now, redoing my work room.
Next paycheck I am goimg to order mip cvds for this thing, and a 6mm mip driveshaft kit.

 

[lonleycreeper]

I picked up some 5mm traxxas metal yokes, and am looking for their 6mm to match up to my axles. Anyone have a part number?

 

[lonleycreeper]

Went for a crawl with Slo-go and Mhuffman, had a blast, broke a dogbone, stripped a wheel hex, and broke my snatch strap. I had an extra dogbone, and cranked down the hex to get home.
Vid to come,
The rigs.

Good video Slow-go, Next time we will get some vid of your truck in there.
I moved my Esc and receiver to the front of the truck. Thinking about mounting a battery plate on the upper rear links. Or mount the battery on the sides, as in saddle mounts.
I think I will have a better balance if I run saddle mount, working on the mount now.
