Lets see some of your custom built stuff. and some vids and action of them

This is my baby. The first project truck of many to come. I have slowly assemble this truck over the past year now, and I am in the process of breaking in the engine. Care to know more? Ask away.

Here is my truck, incomplete, so no action shots:

Looks like something straight outta NASA !!!!!!!! What the heck is that?

I wish I knew.

Seems appropriate though since it is custom.

Did you machine all theomponents? Buy them? What are you putting in it for power? I am DYING for some details !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAN i just looked at your gallery photos. VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK !!!!!!!!!!!! DO you have any recent photos since December 2007?

NEVER START BUILDING A CRAWLER!!!! THEY ARE HUGE MONEY PITS!!!!

I bought a stock Wheely King last summer and took my sweet time working on it. This is the definition of an "on and off again" build. I actually built 2 rigs during this build. During the last 2 days its gotten a transmission, electronics, and a drive shaft. Just one drive shaft because the tranny outputs are 5mm and the diff inputs are 6mm. I brought the rear input down to 5mm today and did a bind test and everything is fine so Ill do the front tomorrow. I'm going to redo the chassis and skid plate sometime in the near future because the chassis is rough and the tranny mounting holes in the skid plate are shifted too far one way by a few mm's. Also need to add foams, weights, a body, electronics mounting plates, dig, new electronics (I'm thinking Sidewinder and castle BEC), play around with the shocks, bead locks, etc, etc, etc. I need to take some real pics soon.

I also did a 4x4 Rustler this summer. Originally I bought a Stampede with a Super Rooster used off E-bay because I knew I may want to do a 4x4 sometime and wanted an ESC that could handle two motors. Two years later I got around to it and bought a cheap Rustler, again off Ebay. The conversion itself was pretty simply and it performs very well with twin 19 turns. I need to drive it more. I think in total it has less than 5 runs on it [sm=red_smile.gif] Need to take some real finished pics of it too. Don't mind the little shiny things on the body posts, I made those to dimple bodies.

Here is one of my custom vehicles.

Another thing I plan to eventually integrate onto a vehicle:

Pic below is a simple scouting robot, no vids of it yet.

That truck has been an ongoing build for almost six years. You can find much more information here:

I had planned to make it electric in the beginning, but then decided to take up the challenge of a nitro crawler (and you'll find much discussion on this rig in the crawler forum). Before I made the decision to leave it alone, I went back to the idea to use a large nitro engine to generate power and use an electric drive, kind of like a hybrid.

To answer your other question, yes. I did design and machine everything you see except the wheels and shocks. I am currently working on internally-sprung shocks to replace the aluminum units on the truck. I only wish to make them in order to keep the look fluid as it sits on the shelf. At this point I have no plans nor ambition to make it run.

Thanks for your interest.

Here is my 1/5 scale projekt,i built it from scratch.Bought the wheels,body and the chainsawengine.And of course the radiosystem.The rest have i made myself.Click [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7681456/tm.htm]here[/link] for the whole thread
