Good job!"thumbsup"
Is that DOM tubing or brake line?
What IFS front is that?

The craftsmanship is awesome man. I think KOH and ultra4 trucks look bad ass. A lot better than a bunch of spaghetti tube that the rock bouncers are. I love the integration of sheet metal towers and link mounts.

Are you using a mig on this.? if so what size, the welds look great just a little cleanup

It is brake line and it an axial exo front end.

Thank you! I definitely like the rc ultra4s way more for sure!

Yah! And that is what we are going to do after everything's together. And it is .030 wire.

Curios to see how you have that front steering set up.. Got any close ups?

 

[ossipeecrawler]

Any progress

I am also curious on this. This is right along the lines of what I want to turn my IFS wraith into and I'd like to see how you pulled it off.

What are you using to cut your steel plate? The cuts look super clean

 

[SMW]

Do you have a weight on the cage and an estimated final weight including battery ? Looks heavy but the brake line sure is lighter then solid rod. Beautiful build. Subscribed !

Hey everyone sorry I've been gone for over a year... Yah long time I've been in college and the build has been put to the side considering I don't have the funds to keep it going right now but since i just found this thread again and have 3 moths left of college it's back to it! I'm not going to lie nothing has been done to it until about a week ago! I'll get to all the questions tomorrow! Here's some pics from the last week! Hopefully we'll be at axialfest with a finished rig!

Die grinder with a cut-off wheel to cut the plate. Then sanded on a belt sander
