House’s TiDe Fighter

BEEEEEEEEEFFFF TOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBSSSSSSS! brake rotors in aluminum beadlocks, scale tires and winches. Watch this bitch blow up!
 
Well I guess I may need a new name for this thing.
I am taking a slight change of direction and I am going to use 7075 cases
instead of the 6Al4V I had planned on using, so it won’t be a true Ti-Fighter...
I don’t think doing this will degrade it’s build quality and that will open up
avenues for a possible other build in the future. Always looking ahead. :ror:
 
A nice baggie of hardware arrived from Oregon...

Are you guys sick of me polishing parts yet? I know I am! :ror:
I hope I am just about done...

Ordered up some new electronics. I have always had good luck with FXR’s but decided to give Mini BR’s another shot. The other ones I have are the older revision and get pretty hot. Never died on me but always concerning when the skid damn near burns you picking your car up...!

Shiny is good.. keep on polishing parts.
I've been running my original Br-minis since 2013 I won them @ Nationals yes the get warm but never let me down. They actually get hot enough they'll melt holes in my heatsink.
 
Test fitting some SAF gears in the SDS cases.

CRAP, I posted this in the wrong forum! Wait till you see the sic sleeping bags and other stuff I got for this thing...

Yup. You are just going to blind yourself when you drive. At least it will look good. I might have to look into gold plating...

Looking at it now, I should have got it all Nickel plated for better corrosion resistance. Gold is gunna be PIMP! "thumbsup"
 
Damn, those turned out really nice!!!
So what's next?!

Thanks! "thumbsup"
Lots of measuring and small piddly work adjusting link balls,
drilling c-hubs, sanding knuckles, loading the weight holders, etc.
Motors and esc’s should be here Friday...

Ready to install some motors...
I am going to try the SAF gears first so I can run
standard 48P pinions. If I cannot make them work
then I will fall back to the metric .6 mod gears...
