The Scud

[menotyou]

This is a custom build that includes
4 tlt axles,2 hilux chassis,front and rear steer,wheele king tranny for a transfer case and a emax tranny powered by a holms 10t puller

After building 3 cardboard bodys i started cutting plywood 1/16,1/8 and 3/16 and this is what i came up with

heres a quick vid of the launcher

You plan to mount a Testors rocket on the back and make it launchable?"thumbsup"

 

[Big Mike]

With enough channels you could hoist the missle and fire it remotely :evil:

It would look scale as hell if the Testors rockets didn't launch so fast.

Hopefully you won't set it on fire!!

There will be some soft alum on the rear of the launcher (thanks vonclod) to act as a blast sheild so im hoping no fire ;-)

this thing is coming along nicely"thumbsup", the pics dont do it justice.. mark has built a rc launch setup on a 1/10 trailer and it works pretty nice but this is to the next level:twisted:..start with estes and maybee aerotechs next

 

[menotyou]

Well i got a bit more work done,The com box is done and mounted (im hiding the elcetronics in there 2 rx,esc,bec and maybe 1 of the 3 batts i need)

Heres how i got my fenders on

And this is how she looks now

And yes i know my tire is almost off
Now the hard part ;-)

 

[vonclod]

[trentons_nylint]

Lookin good! But I was wondering do the tires rub the body during flex?

Started on the rear part and ran into a big issue that made me have to rebuild the launch mount so i had to lift it up almost 3 inchs

and as of now

Made a quick 55 gallon drum with some scrap kickin around

[vonclod]

oh man i cant wait for the first launch"thumbsup", 4 mods should join in on the filming and get multiple camera angles..this will be freakin awsome:twisted:

 

[menotyou]

worked out to $ 30 for 8 used badlands 4 stock ax10 rims and 2 bnib sand paws "thumbsup"
Blast sheld for launch mount servo
