I havent decided what I am doing with it, I dont have any spare axles right now so it might end up on Ebay, or maybe Ill be forced to by another set of TLT axles. I used the frame that was originally under the Bronco as a template for shock mounts etc so it should work pretty good.

Nice! Fits like a glove.

Very cool Jeff!

Looks good Jeff!

looks good

I decided its getting WK axles/trans and some sort of semi fast motor (Maybe a cobalt puller or an inrunner brushless) Its turning out nice, I have some tin work left to do on it now and figure out where to mount the batteries (2 4000mah 2s lipo )

You going for a rock racer?

More desert racer/trail truck. I havent decided for sure if Im locking the diffs... Maybe lock the rear and leave the front open... Ill bring it the meeting so everyone can see it in person

what do you make links out of? intead of buying ones

3/16 brakeline, threaded with a 6-32 tap.... then insert 6-32 allthread then I use Drubro 6-32 rod ends (wish I could buy those by the case).

Thought I would post up some progress....
I switched to an r2 tranny since I plan to run an inrunner brushless and I just dont think the Wk trans would hold the power.

All Links are now mounted same with Shocks. I went with Duratrax Evader Fronts all around (I had them) I did a little tuning to them for better articulation. Its more of a mud/trail truck than a full on crawler and I want to be able to run in the sand when I go to Badlands.

Also, as you can prolly see, I had to remove the lower cross bracing and rework it for proper link mounting/geometry.

Lookin good Jeff! Better get a set of paddles for the sand! lol

thought I would share some updated pics since I didnt have it @ the comp and had several people asking about it.... Mamba 4600 on order, hopefully have it for the weekend, diffs are still open, I considered JB welding them but I think if I lock them I will use a locker soe I can go back to open if needed. I added an aluminum skid over the entire bottom. I figure if I am going to rock race it I needed some protection.

Looks good Jeff!

That is really nice.
