Haven't been on here in ages or been out with the trucks much. Bought and built a wrangler last year and after building it in a day ive only really used it once properly, mainly due to sea water buggering up the motor, oops. So its been sat on my shelf with my 6x6 and trailer and I've been looking at them recently thinking I want to take one of them out. Any one around bristol want ot arrange a group trail sometime?
Ahh yeah ive still got that grease if you want it back?. not bad mate, 6x6 is done just ironing out a few niggles when I have cash as just bought another car.
Those are the motors I used, butt loads of torque. One thing to note make sure you don't over tighten the bolts as it bends the plastic gearbox and rubbs the gears inside.
Finally pretty much finished mine all ive got to do is make the flatbed. Haven't taken it out yet. Loving the look of it and the dual 50t motors make it so tourquey.
Naa just need 2 more axles, a short driveshaft, rear shock hoops, links and shocks. Its pretty self explanatory really. As for a chassis extension I used aluminium squere tube and bolted it to the holes for the rear bumper.
Ive got mostly all custom links on my scx10 6x6 and I made them with aluminium tube cut to Length and slightly longer threaded rod inside and the traxxas ball ends on each end. The tube is 6mm wide and 1mm thick. The only thing you need to do is drill out the plastic part of the ball end to make the hole a bit bigger. Easy and without any fiddly threading.
Sorry I didn't realise it was 6 wheel steering as well, my bad.
As for suspension it would just be like the normal suspension mounts. Just the rear rear ones on the extend section.
I used 10mmX10mm squere tube cut to Length ans custom made Links and Custom cut driveshaft. My scx10 had already extended links so its longer to begin with
You saying you are going to make it fron an scx10?
Mine was supposed to be a budget build but it soon changed. Basically for the centre axle you just need 2 scx10 rear axles and put the two input sides together.
Is it from a stock rtr scx10 or a kit with a high torque motor?
Mine has been slow burning for a few months now.
