TRUGYOTA!! Yes another F@*! Hilux Truggy :-D

[Z0MB13]

Well after the ECSC of 2015 in New Castle P.A. I got the itch to build my first truggy. Started out with an old SCX 10 Frame I had kicking around. Bought the new SSD Scale axles "thumbsup" . The differences is that i'm making the tuber part of the truggy out of stainless steel inconel 718 tubing. It super light weight and is very strong. On that note. I hope it doesn't suck. :-D





Now that I have the cab where I want it. Its time to start cutting up the rear of the frame.



3M tape is my friend!



This is all being done by gas tungsten arc welding. Its what I do :-D At the moment I'm just tack welding everything into place and will finish up the welds later on.






Thats it for now until I get more parts made and in the mail. I hope you like it.

It's lookin great! That rear stinger should help save you from turning turtle if it falls back on a steep climb.

Just a quick update. I finished welding up the cage in the back. I got my tracking # from GCMRacing and hopefully soon I can do more work on the front half. :-D

Looking awesome! Makes me want to start tearing mine down :roll:

I started the body filling and painting. Its not going to stay black but at least its not the white plastic anymore.

Well got the body kind of finished and now I'm looking at the drive line and well lighting :-D I just have the lightbar wedged in there for looks.

How did you setup your front axles? Did you uses the SSD High steer knuckles?

 

[Z0MB13]

At the moment it's just the stock SCX 10 knuckles and c-hubs. I'm using the Panhard SSD bracket that comes with the SSD axles housing.
