I talked to Steve last week and got the news that my new axles were ready to be sent out!
Also going to switch out the light bar to a new 5" Rigid bar!

Those axles are so ridiculous!
Love em.
When I'm ready to drop an Alabama mortgage payment on axles I'll get a set. LOL

Tonight I started on the front end. It was hard to take the cutting wheel to the chassis. 
Ended up cutting out the front plate as well and cleaned the chassis up.

I ended up cutting the front plate and crossmember out of because I'm going to sneak the new Tzi World winch out in front of the steering servo. I used another servo to estimate the locations for both pieces.
The winch will be angled slightly to stay out of the way.
Obviously there is no output on the new winch.

Last night I also took all the measurements to start in the CAD design. This morning I transferred it all to 3D and now I will start to getting into the details.
I started on laying things out over lunch today. I should have a decent start by the end of the day. Right now I'm working in Wireframe, I'll convert to surfaces after I'm happy with the layout.
I wrapped up the design of the shock and servo mounts. I need to finalize the design of the panhard mount and adjust a couple dimensions. After those things are done, I'll be sending everything off to the cutter.
Templates printed and test fit.

Impressive. Good idea on the winch arrangement.

My fixture table project is coming along. Hopefully I will get to mock up the chassis on it tonight.
Picked up my parts today. I have a meeting now but I'll mock up the other parts after lunch.
your rig is awsome! i got a quick question tho, I have a RR metal spur gear for awhile now with no problems with it. The problem ive been having is that my pinion gears keep wearing out super fast, maybe 2 runs out of one gear. If you know of any pinion gears that wont wear out or any other help. thanks
I am running the Associated gear, need to make sure they are hardened. Also, it sounds like your mesh was maybe a little tight.

I envy those that use CAD and understand it...I have taken numerous cad classes and have the latest and greatest version on my computer at work. However...CAD and I dont get along, we stopped talking last year. So I just take the drawings that others give me and convert drawings to tangible items.

Looks great. Anxious to see the final product.
Finished up my fixture table tonight.
Done!
Welded up all the brackets, shot a coat of paint on them and bolted it all up.
Going to simplify the trans mount for the final design.
Everything is nice and solid. With the addition of a ground clamp or strap to bridge between the table it would be easy to weld on.
The extra mounts for other wheelbase lengths.

Josh, that's a lot of bang for one update! Everything looks great...the cad plans, the fixture table.8)
I am working on doing a small run, trying to keep the cost "reasonable"
:ror: Yeah, I've been busy lately!
