TOPIC:

Took my hopped up WD apart and combined it with some old and new parts to make one carbon frame 4wd and two 2wd WR chassis.

1 WD




+ some parts



and a frame



make One



and Two



and Three



locked the rear diff on the 4WD and has 6mm ball nut for some beefier upper arms



now awaiting 10mm POM and 3mm aluminum for some diy dampermounts and suspension arms.



the carbon dampermounts are lower than the previous ally ones so have to think about different dampers.



custom battery mount (6mm carbon, 4mm brass tube and 3mm M3 wire and some bits and pieces)





the 2WD got 45T with 18 pinion thats fast enough for my little godbrat and his brother.

first delivery of pom plates was with different thickness.



the ebay seller solved it very quickly, now got double the amount so enough for testing.



also got the aluminium plates (same seller)

and took out the hacksaw and some files.

Slowly getting there. Been busy in the Cellar.



Bushings for the upper arms pivot



Mounted


Shocking






Mmm wheels funny


2 done, one more to go

Nice handywork. Now for some anodisation.

Nah! like that rough look.

Bummpers


Different wheel setup




that setup should work as its only RWD

Back to big wheels

DIY lower arms, not as easy as it looks.

I am afraid that if I put so much work into a car, I wouldn#t be able to give it away

Thats not for the two give aways thats for my carbon 4wd dagger
