TRIBUTE to 911 Amost Complete

[XR2PROBE]

Body of Sept 11 Will Follow Soon

For now Here is a glimpse of what i Have been Working on For One Lucky NY'er......Plus a Runner body for Him ..For ..when the tribute body Isnt used

Meet the Xtreme 10T

This is the Destuted Truck that I Recieved in a trade and I ReVamped it into a full set up that any Would Like to Have i feel

here is the Same Truck minus wheels for a better Look See.(Notice the Remnants of the Detonated RC battery in the center of the chassis )

Here is the First Chemical tripping of the Front Nost Skid and Various Aluminum Parts

Here is the first Dip on the Chassis In an Acid Bath to remove all of the Impurities on the chassis

Here is the Dismantled Diff in Preps For the TMAXX bearings and the Serpent 8th scale Diff balls that will be used in a revamp of the Tranny...also of Note I Physically torch the bearings Under Revs So hat I can Clean the bearings out of the Dust and Grime as it also Hardenes the bearings Prior to assembly

Here is the rear Diff redrilled to a larger Diameter fo the 8th scale balls to Work properly with the Upgraded Diff...and HG Counter and IDLER Gear as Well

And here we have the larger balls already for the Diff Gear

Ok in this Pic We have a rough layout and a Chassis that Has been Acid Bleached and as you can see i Flattened the rear pod out So that i can Work It poperly

First Polish and Set up of rear Bracket and Work Began on Main Chassis

Here We Have a fully polished Set up of the Main Chassis Components

Here We Have a Modified set Of TMAXX Shocks that i Custom limited to fit the Xtreme 10T for a Perfect Fit and ride Height...Also Of note is the Satin Finished ReWorked Motor pod

Here are the Same Shocks Sized side By Side

And here We have a Full Set up With TMAXX Steering rack and pinion ...

here we Have a front brace for the Rack and pinion Tmaxx Steering set up

And here it is installed

I had the front and rear Shock towers as well as the rear tranny Brace Cut Out of 1/8th 6061 Aluminum Flat Stock into Simple Shapes from PHANTOM309 And I took care Of the Flushing and Polishing of them myself
...as well as the tribal Cutouts which you'll see later on in the Next pic

Here is the rear tranny Brace

[Skyline Racer]

i think thats a great piece of work, congrats!

 

[newnitrofan]

Nice job you better hook yourself up with like a 5 turn motor to make that thing go. All that heavy aluminum gonna make it hard to make the tires spin.

 

[GilBeQuick]

I polish some things with a Dremel, but how do get them to shine like that??

 

[XR2PROBE]

Well believe it or Not ....This Truck Is Just as fast as the Original truck.....Only With a Full balance and It doesn't need a 5 Turn in it to go .....infact its 4 oz's lighter then a stock truck all done with creative lightening and practical usages of materials

So in otherwords She's :jet:

as for how to get her that shiny GilbeQUICK the best way to describe the work done on the trucka dremel is good for tight spots ..But inorder to get a truck this shiney i would change the Polish medium you are using to a 2 part.....one part is for actual cut and Polish and the second part as a sealant to do 2 jobs...one is to Stop the polishing action of Part one and the second job of the sealant is to protect the Polish job to prevent the aluminum from rubbing off onto your fingers.....i use a specific POLISH that Boyd Coddington uses on his 1:1 cars for rims and alloysand it does a better job them most other Polishes out there...and can be found for just about any Aluminum Usages.....Like they have a marine Formula for Saltwater applications and they have a Sand Formula So the Your Aluminum work Is protected against Sand Blasting From running on a Beach.....And they have a Formula for Gasoline and a formula for jet fuel as well as a host of other Formula's.....but at $50 Clams for 2-16 oz Bottles seems Kinda steep to most but since Ihave bought them they have lasted me 15 Chassis and numerous Parts
i still have 3/4ths of a Bottle Of each Left
