Cold Busters - rewind

[joostin420]

Have 2x clods and a txt-1 that may need resurrection. Was building these before crawlers became so popular.

Full custom design using stainless steel brake line brazed with high content silver solder. Juggernaut 2 wheels and tires. This one will remain slow And show.

Take it you have a fabrication backgound lol. Looks great tho

No fabrication background, but friend is a pipe fitter and help a bit until I got the hang of bending - took me forever and lots of profanity and wasted material

So I take it while you were learning to bend and curse at the same time, that' multitasking lol. Did u also learn how to weld that cage looks great I was thinking of building like a exo skeleton cage to go around my outcast. I know on 12s I'm gonna be tumbling and on my roof alot lol.

And bravo seriously if u have no fab backgound it really does look good

The brazing was not that hard, just map gas torch, high content silver solder, and flux. Fish mouth ends is key.

Not sure how well the ss brake line will hold up if going high speed; it bends easier than you would think in a crash. For slow speed and rock crawling it is okay.

I have a fab backgound and I'm a capable tig, mig and stick welder.so I will use a heavier material because the speeds I'll b reaching. But it absolutely made me think of building a internal cage that will b under the body but will protect the internals if the body shatters.
