finally able to get started on this build, ive been wanting to do this for along time. I believe ive done enough research and download enough pictures to get start
like all my builds it wil be r/c with a working arm . ive scale this out to be a 1/10 which is really big, somt times I think I take in to much fumes . lol
ive measured this out to be around 790mm, tires are 126mm using 2.2 rims
theres going to be a lot of 3 steps forward and many steps back . im going in 1/2 blind on this and don't know what walls I will be hitting. im assuming around 400 hours ,
so this will be great winter coming build . well enjoy the movie and lets get started
ive cut the frame rail, I some what know where the axles go, I need to make the lower hull 1st. ive started by intergrading the rails in the hull, starting from the front

transmission is in place and front drive is installed , working my way back , the transmission is a rc4wd r2 single speed with a 55 turn motor, I cut new frame rails at the correct length this time at 29.5 inches
had a chance to work on this alittle today
ive added a crossmember in front of the transmission, added 55 turn motor and start with the slats on the side of the rails
next I made a transmission cover , heres the basic piece. next I have to sand and detail alittle , and drill some mounting holes

so I had one of those 3 steps back , the airbrake containers under the axle were out of scale. must of forgot a number. anyway I had to make them 4 mm bigger,
next ive added backers to the axles for the brakes . you can see them here looking at the axle to the drum
I finally finisehed installing all the mud flap mounts , I bought some 1/16 thick 12x12 inch rubber sheet. it works perfect
im getting close of finishing the lower hull and chassis , almost ready for paint

I started on the forward compartment
I received in my sound and light kit. this all should fit in the engine compartment, the battery will go under the floor boards
I scaled out the seats and seats mounts and there dead on, on difference in the seats is the backer is lot higher, but the width is the same
after installing the seat something look off. I lost 8mm in between seat, not sure where, I look at some 1:1 interior, man! these guys cant even stand up in side without crouching, really tight inside, so maybe im not that far off .

[QUOTE=Antho11;241571]Is that a Tamiya Mfc unit? I bet if a big name brand of Rc would take you're design and sell it, they would sell like crazy. It looks really great and it takes a lot of ingenuity to make something like that.[/QUOTE]
yea man, shes is coming out really kool. everyday it look more like the real truck. these next few days the basic roof and hood should be done
next I add the top middle bar, the outer roof skin, the inner top and add the 3rd window . I cant wait to get the hood on,

today I worked on the dash board area. there a lot to do here. I started off making the lower center piece, it looks like heating and air condition
made the front seat mounts and prefitted the seats
the upper dash board I used a donar from truck, not sure what from though . the 1/10 scale steering wheel was to big, I needed a 40mm one and the king hauler fit perfect, I still have a lot to do tomorrow in this area . nothing is glued here
