Rock Crawler
lowslow's uberslow (yet seemingly instant) High-Lift based Unimog crawler FOR SALE
I started building this a while ago and then moved from OH to AZ and have not gotten much done on it since. I did a build thread on Scale4x4 a while back, but thought some of you all might care...if not please ignore.
Here is my inspiration for the unimog:
from the Mog Shop
Here are the Pics:
it started with an idea and some goodies from RPP Hobby!:
High-Lift chassis stripped down and TLTs with portals:
1:1 unimogs have torque tubes...this is my ~1/12ish scale solution a fixed driveshaft: The drive shafts transmit power to the axle and also serves as a trailing/leading arm.
Two control arms, in plane with the driveshaft, prevent side to side movement of the axle just like the 1:1 (I think )
the front will have the same fixed d-shaft and control arms. Caster is a bit of a problem, but meh! What cha gonna do?
Coii mounts:
Track/panhard bars are nessesary front and rear:
Exocage:
Unimog cab paint inside the lexan...think rust when scratches occur:
Prep for the paint outside the cab with a scotchbright pad:
Cage paint:
How it sits now:
I still need to add the lights, snorkel, yada yada!
Some evidence that I drove it once! ...Or placed it on some rocks if you are a sceptic.
Its on the back burner, but I will finish it someday I hope
