[nickel417]

I have a t-maxx that i will be converting into a puller soon but I am also wanting to custom(from scratch) build a 2 wheel drive pulling truck. Can anybody help me out with a good place to start? Any help will be apreciated!!

Do a google search.
There are a lot of great pulling only sites.
Let us know what you learn.

I can only pull one thing and I ain't talking about it now.

Do you just want to pull weight or do you want to pull a sled? I found a couple of links that might help you get started.

How long did that take to build, and did you do all of your own machine work? Sweet looking rig!

That looks amazing! That dove tail sliding adjustable hitch is bad ass! Very nice work man!

i have only 1 word to say to that

WOW

 

[Micropuller]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

@Karl M:
Yes, I did all the machining myself. Actually, designing / machining is as big a part of the hobby as actually driving these things.

Fabricating the parts for this puller took me somewhere inbetween 100 and 150 hours over a period of three or four months.

See? Now that's what this site needs. Someone who comes in and says he can pull stuff with his truck, AND actually shows us. Thanks Micropuller. That's one hella cool truck.

Thanks Candyman!

The body is currently being painted. I'll post some pics when it's finished.
I've actually started work on a new project. First result after fooling around with a couple of OS rotary engines:
