Default Crew Cab GMC SSMT Proj.-*updated 8/30/07*

I had mentioned before that I was going to make a SSMT project - I changed my mind about the Bronco and i'll be doing a replica of a Chevy Double Cab RC that I saw over in the RCC forum. I will make a GMC version of it but with the same paint scheme and all the accessories to go along with it too.

Here's the Chevy that i'll be using as a picture guide:




And here's a editted pictured to show more or less what i'll be doing to make the model look like that one: (note that this is just an edit pic of my last unpainted GMC xmod truck)



I'll probably get started on this one sometime this coming week - I have all the parts needed and the models so i'll updated this thread as soon as I get the ball rolling! 8)
Oh yeah, pics credit to the rc owner: obijuan @ RCcrawler

Here's a couple pics of the materials and other stuff that I have ready to use to make this SSMT project:

Here's mostly the Electronics, batteries & cases , servos, and a few wire connectors:



Here's the Wheels, axles (front and back), tranny, bag of gears, and a bag of stuff for supension and linkage axle arms:



Here's mostly diamond studded styrene sheets, alluminum tubes and sheets that i'll use for the axle shafts and other stuff:



And here are the 2 '84 GMC truck models that i'll be using to make the Crew Cab:



More updates to come soon.

XMODification, if yours ends up looking anything like that (or better, I'm sure it will), that's going to be one bad *** project!

I see hobby-grade electronics... Hmm... I smell something pretty **** cool brewing up!

Sorry for keeping you guys waiting so long - i've been alittle busy working on a custom gearbox tranny for this thing. So far i've had a few custom spur gears for the servo i'll be using and i've been trying to make a custom case for the gears aswell.

Here's a couple pics of the body progress - i've only chopped it up and it's not glued together asyet - it will need alot of body work done once it's put together:




More updates to come soon ( I promise it will be sooner than this last update for sure)!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I Glued the body together today and I did alittle of the body work too. I have to let the glue dry and the putty has to cure also yet. After that is done i'll sand it down abit, fill in any uneven surfaces and stuff, then I'll get it ready for the primer.

I'm still working on that gear box thing - since i'm using a servo as a part of the tranny i'm trying to make one that can have abit of speed without sacrificing torque.

Here's a couple pics of it so far:




More progress pics to come soon!
