Rc flatty

I never understood the whole RC / crawler thing... Until now. That thing is so cool! Please keep posting the progress pics.

 

x 2

 

can you imagine how much room we would save in our garages if we did these instead of 1:1s?

that thing is TOO COOL... cant wait to see a vid of it climbing some trees and chasing the neighbors cat!

are you gonna mid range gear it so itll be faster than a rock climber?

would look MOST excellent at the local track spanking/crawling over the Traxxas and AE stadium trucks

 

steering is done !!!!and powered video below
took a long time to get the servo linkage just right with the limited amount of space under the hood .

 

Hey Steve are those 2.2's or 1.9's?

 

ummmmm.......
where's the chrome grille ?????????

 

ewwwww

 

looks like need some headlights and turn signals to pass inspection
something like the cheap single led flashlights from the flaps for headlights, leds and holders for the turn signals/ brake lights.
hellokitty

 

^working on it , but I did order the trans and transfer case today, don't know what to do about the headlights just yet ,,,,going to be hard to drill that grille if the bit catchs it will be all over .....

and Mike those are 2.2s

 

good idea thanks, I need to be brave.. first find the right size light , it cant be very deep though the steering servo is pretty close

 

I have looked and I can't find the posts you refer to that Wuze put up about the RC stuff. Can you show me so I can be all the way caught up? I love that thing by the way.!

 

make a cj headlight bezel around an led then drill for the wires?
tail lights look much easier,

 

nice! I made a bodt for my savage. Just for show i dont run it with it on or it would get detroyed in seconds lol

 

thats very cool ,,,,what is that body made of ?

 

its all steel. i would have wraped it in aluminum but i wanted to be able to weld it

 

jeep2003 you have mad fab skillz,,,,,



got my trans and transfer case , look like it all will work but its not going to be fun mounting the trans under the hood.


here is the Killer T-case and fabed x member out of gutter spikes, spot mig to tack it then brase to fill turned out so good I'm going to take my small top plate off and mount the top of the case to the floor.the extra alum,is not needed after all.

 

OMG , it is moving under it's own power,,,,,,,,what a great feeling!!!!!!!

 

Just read this thread. Saaaaawwwwweeeeetttttt! I want one. No, wait, I have to finish Posi first. Dang it!
