I just found the Deisel Brothers show. Never even heard of it, found it on Discovery+. OK show, there are some very interesting trucks on there. The Brodozer got my attention, absolutely bad ass truck. I understand it was a Monster Jam truck for a while, but I'm not there in the show yet - It's still a big ass Ford build.
I just clued in that the JConcepts Gozer was based off the truck, I picked one up w while ago for my C-maxx and it's an interesting body, but "Gozer?" Now it all makes sense...
So I picked up another Gozer body in 12.5 flavor, a cheap SCX10 chassis lift, and decided to build my own Brodozer ... or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
Building this up on the cheap, so I plan to use what I have laying around as much as possible. My old G6 Enduro truck will do far a base. It fell apart all over the workbench.
Stripped to the frame, and side plates added. I could have made them I guess, but they were all of $12.
I have a ton of Wheely King axles laying around, I initially started mocking up the chassis using these axles. The body is big, and I wanted a nice, big stance. 180mm scale axles looked way too wimpy under the body, the WK axles are a fair bit wider.
Quick mock up using some SCX10 324mm WB links...
Threw the body on and I think the axles could work with the right offset, but I'm thinking wider is better here.
AR60's? Yup, that's much better. My poor Wraith got torn to pieces and will get the old SCX axles transferred over.
AR60's mocked up... This suspension geometry is not going to work at all. Time for some changes!
I did have to buy a transmission - Picked up a cheap alloy one, and didn't realize it was counter rotating. Thankfully I switched over to the AR60's, so I can just flip the ring gear in the back axle.
