3 speed Scale build.

Here are the pics.

Still need to mount the battery tray, and move the front bracket back a little.
The battery will be 1.5" lower.

Here is how she sits this morning. (the bumper is tweeked not the body.)

 

[lonleycreeper]

I ordered some parts for the axles, 6mm aluminum hexes, and some HD lockers for the axles from Rpp.

Looking for opinions here
Put a fender together this morning, it is to wide IMO, so should I make it look like stock fenders or go tube fenders?
Here are the pics

maybe just trim'em alittle bit. i would say about half and that should do it imo

 

[slow-go]

i moved all my electronics up sealed my box and just need to get a ballon for my esc

 

[slow-go]

i also made a quik disconnect for my lights need to get some heat shrink still and need to figure out what to do with my on/off switch...i dont think its water proof

 

[lonleycreeper]

I have a bag of white ones. And I agree on the size. Thinking about going with solid rod around the edges aka tube fenders

Something like this.

I've been following your thread, very cool. It must have been a challenge to get that 3 speed in and working :shock:. I'd go with the tube fenders but that's just my 2 cents worth.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Thanks Traildawg that means alot, as you mentioned getting the trans was the hardest part. I dont have any room for upper links.

Version 2 of fenders, runs the whole length(1 piece)

 

[lonleycreeper]

debating about cutting out the tailgate/back window and mounting my spare tire in the back. Let me know what you guys think.
Rear shot without the spare

Body off shot.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Got this in the mail today. From RPP.

 

[lonleycreeper]

I changed the location of the spare tire,

Going to do steel corners like this.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Got the rear corners done, also mounted some light buckets, and put the stock hexes in front(aluminum) and narrow in the rear(6mm).

 

[lonleycreeper]

And a couple more in the living room.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Got my front armor and fenders done.

 

[lonleycreeper]

Got my Mip's built. I had one with 5mm outputs and bought a second , put 6mm outputs on it and that covers my 6mm axle outputs and 5mm trans outputs.

 

[lonleycreeper]

It looks like i am going to have to streach the wheelbase a bit, the Mips are to long to fit in between the trans and axles.
