To much thinking TTC

I wouldn't read into the link calc too much. Use it to setup your links and tune to your liking. I did thought this was pretty cool..

argh this is taking forever

But just think about all the time you're saving in actual fabrication!

My Dad made his living from Solidworks designing all sorts of crap, I should probably get him to teach me how to use it one of these days? :ror: Who is doing your lazer cutting?

Looks amazing btw, you can definitely tell you build 1:1 stuff.

I just want to get this truck to use the crazy power and be adjustable. thanks for the link, haven't messed with it yet

But just think about all the time you're saving in actual fabrication!

Mainly the thought of what if, what if, take care of that now. the main thing Im looking forward to is the laser parts and a square fixture. so I can build a few of these.

Ive been teaching myself for a decade, constantly learning. I have a few good local cutters. Have any recommendations?

I think in the long run you will like it.

Are you 4 linking the front or 3 link ?

 

[eric113]

How come you had to redo the trans mount ?
Yep sure did. But I only ran in the trail class.

My 2.2 is ways off.

 

[willipmartinni]

You couldn't get the fasteners in the transmission, i was planning on notching the side plates for access but it wasn't going to work, so instead of the side plates being tipped inward they are know tipped out, oh and you can now see that the front is three link.

I was glad to see you bugging me for progress cause I definitely need to keep after this.

We have a comp on Saturday, Im hoping to go, I need some new videos

 

[eric113]

This looking good!

Keep up the good work.

Now you need to get the brackets cut out.

Any updates? :mrgreen:

Updates

Rear shock mounts, front servo mounts, some gusset tubing, reworked the rear tubing, getting closer...

 

[eric113]

The rear proportion looks long. Making it stubby rear?

The rear is right on 90 degree approach, it acts as a wheely bar on my other truck. Its 12.5 wheel base, not sure what you mean "stubby rear"?

This drawing makes the bed proportion look long

This drawing makes the bed proportion look long

I think it's the angle of the render that makes it look long.

 

[willipmartinni]

front bits

what about this???
The shock verticals are going to get capped just ran out of time.

 

[eric113]

Like the shock mounts. But are you going to add a brace in between shock mounts ? I would for stress and "complete" look.
