SNG's mini truck...laid out

[slowngreen]

Well heres my chassis so far. Used part of an scx then C-Notched/sectioned it for the rear axle.

Heres a poser shot with the wheels/tires I'm using...

Looks nice, but how are you supposed to steer it?

 

[slowngreen]

Not really supposed too, more of a model scaler I guess you would say. But in 1:1, it would be body dropped and bagged/cylanders to get it like this, which you would use to get back up to driving height. Just stay tuned

DUDE THAT LOOKS SO SICK!!!!!! Be really cool if you come up with a way to put mini bags on it with a small compressor, This might sound weird but I had a Technics lego that used a small compressor tank that was pumped up by hand and made a mechanical arm raise up and down with a little switch and air lines, it was pretty cool, just an idea.

 

[slowngreen]

I plan too Curtis, well atleast a tank, lines and fake bags. And Thanks!

Go all out Lloyd. Build mechanical (hydros) that actually work. That would be sweet.

 

[slowngreen]

Hope to with servo's at some point. Just wanna get the look done first.

can't beleieve I have not seen this thread before, that mini looks good indeed, nicely done mock up thus far.

 

[klown]

please tell me you have done more to this build!!!! i have been thinking about a mini rc for a while and just can't figure out how to make the adjustable suspension operational... AWESOME job so far!!

 

[slowngreen]

I actually just started working on it again yesterday, still working on getting everything on the body shaved, filled in, then sanded. I'll try to get pics today if I can get more done.

 

[slowngreen]

Got the 4 link done in the back.

Also got everything shaved and filled and sanded. Theres a few spots that need more filler and some sanding again though...

 

[rollinlow]

Oh man i love this thing!can't wait to see more

 

[SMaxxin]

The body looks good with the smoother finish!

 

[HPI-Killer]

Oh wow that thing is total badassness! Great job so far

 

[slowngreen]

Thanks guys!

 

[HPIguy]

That thing is cool, coming along nicely, can't wait to see it rolling or should I say draggin'

 

[abadk9420]

Coming along really nice Lloyd, you should put a dig in it backwards so you can do brake stands or go back and forth between 2wd and 4wd

 

[slowngreen]

I doubt I make it even run, I was just planning on a shelf rig.

Got the front suspension partly done. Independent of course, it is 2wd.

Skillz!!

Is it a Rolex special, then, Lloyd?
