![]() I recently got this truck body in with a deal,and was going to make a mudder truck with an evo truck chassis.
![]() But after this mockup,my mind was made up! ![]() The body came without a grill or tailgate,so i decided to have a go at making them.I made a start on the grill,it still needs some tidying,before i build it up to form the grill and light surrounds. ![]() ![]() It fits pretty well too. ![]() ![]() |

![]() i finished the surround on the grill. I will put the centre piece and the emblem on tomorrow.
![]() added the centre part and the emblem to the grill.I will fill some small gaps tonight then sand and shape some more. ![]() i have made the bumpers too,needs filling and more sanding but the basic shape is there. ![]() ![]() ![]() The bumpers were a little too large for the truck,so i reduced them a bit. still think the front needs to lose another mm.The more re-filling, re-shaping and re-sanding :duh: ![]() ![]() ![]() The front bumper was about 1.5mm taller than the rear one,tho not any more ![]() ![]() ![]() And that's pretty much where i am atm,i'm waiting for another truck front end to arrive to complete this. It will be using a micro esc,and hobby servo's for steering too. |

![]() Small update,i have the wheels converted now
![]() ![]() ![]() And have two front ends with lift kits fitted,tho i need the bushings that fit the red gear,and two of the g box casings that are missing here. ![]() ![]() It's also a good job i received another chassis with the front end,as it appears i'm too dumb to use a measure properly and cut the original chassis' too short ![]() All fixed now tho,and another mockup, just chassis this time. ![]() ![]()

![]() Looks great so far. You had my idea of using two front ends for all wheel steering, but whn i was planning it i realized that i didn't know how to make it All wheel drive & out articulation on it. So i gave up & saved it for another day. lol

![]() I did pick up a couple of pieces of tube from the lhs,but even the smallest i bought is too big.
![]() ![]() But remember the faux shocks from a few posts back? I did two types to see which look best. ![]() Tonights Update: Started sticking some styrene together and came up with this. ![]() Yup,it's the start of the interior for this truck,i'll be adding the full cage next. ![]() ![]() ![]() Comments/suggestions welcomed. ![]()

![]() no i get that. i mean like actually steering it. like two servos reverse wired or what?
|
#18
|
||||
|
||||
![]() Ooooh yes two servo's,atm one will be reversed,but i'm considering putting a 6ch receiver in it.
If i go the 6ch route i will set it up so the rears can be set,or steer with or opposite the fronts.

![]() I never realised i had not posted the elecs yet.
![]() ![]() I have a micro esc (sanwa ES-01) and i'll decase a 27mhz am rec to reduce thats size too.Who knows maybe i can cram it all under the hood. I have the esc's specs,would the more knowledgeable among you enlighten me as to wether it will run 3 micro servo's and an xmod sized motor from 4.8v please? Power Supply: 6.0V-7.2V Maximum Current: 12A Continuous: 3.6A Voltage Loss: 0.4V (at 25 degrees C at 2 amps continuous) I know it says 6-7.2v there,but this esc came with another rig and it was running 4.8v.
