Re-build thread of an RC 75 Chevy Pickup

I haven't been able to find the "want to" too finish another scrathbuilt body I started on a year ago (67-72 bodystyle), so I have been redoing my other RC Chevy trucks.

I'm mostly building new chassis and adding more realistic axles to the trucks, and this will be the last, I think..

I stole the axles from this truck..so, it needs axles.



I bought these from my favorite online store



And this is where it starts



I picked up the u-bolts from ebay, they are for another type of truck, but they work. The other stuff is all made by hand.



This will be the new chassis after some work. I will have some left over for another truck I am going to rebuild..(Ford )



Sometimes a little more weight in the tires help it do its "thing"





I just evenly space them around the inner ring..and no worries on being unbalanced, it just doesn't go fast enough..

Re: Re-build thread of an RC 75 Chevy Pickup

I got the chassis made and the axles mounted up. The transmission and electric motor are just sort of laying there ..









In my eyes, this looks so much better.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Thank you Andy.

I finally sat down the other night and started putting all the electronics and the rest of the running gear on the frame.

Finished, for now..

I took it out yesterday morning, and it did really good, except for the tires, on an uphill climb on frozen, sandy, snowy soil.

And now, the video's.. I made 2, one going down the ravine, and one trying to make it back up. It needs different tires to make that climb.
