Re: AD Truck Project

Here are a few pics of why things often do not get done on the truck project.

Nice parts Billy! I'm liking that RC buggy too. Cool picture of some big air.

Re: AD Truck Project

Thanks.

The track is a local club track in Yukon at Taylor Park. This is our third season. We have built it up over the last few years and last year put in lights, a scoring booth and bought an amb scoring system. This June we will be hosting our first RC Pro Series event.


I picked up some bolts and washers last night, and a 3/4 both for the upper cup. Do, I need grade 8 bolts to bolt in the bags?

Re: AD Truck Project

I started a little work today before it started to rain and I had to move all my tools under the porch to keep working. Hopefully more to follow.

Re: AD Truck Project

Now it is time for lunch and a parts run. The bolt I got to mount the upper cup is too short.

Re: AD Truck Project

Wouldnt have to be that diameter just big enough to go through the mounting hole and hold cup still, right? 1/2 would be plenty i would think.

Re: AD Truck Project






Getting closer. However everything is just tacked in, but once I get it outside I can see if I got the crossmember in the right place. If so, then things can be fully welded, and I box the frame at the front. I have the drivers side cup started but ran out of time. I was supposed to be at a party a half hour ago.

More work tomorrow. I think I will end up trimming the cups down a bit more.

Re: AD Truck Project

For the first time since this truck entered the family back in Feb 2010 it now sets on it's own front suspension. Not quite the goal of rolling it outside but close enough. There is a ton of little things to do and rework, but I am pretty thrilled.

Re: AD Truck Project

I don't have it yet, because it may not be correct. I have not wheeled it out so I can see if it is centered. I have posted a few links in the last 3-4 weeks here on this thread that should help you determine your center line.

Re: AD Truck Project

This is from one of the threads I linked...


"Go to www.speedwaymotors.com and it gives great instructions. Doing a 53 also. 18.5" from center of front shackle pivot is centerline for MII. I can fax em to u also buddy."

I hope it helps. The best thing to do it tack it in and then look to see if you are happy with it before final welding.

Re: AD Truck Project

Not a great video, but I had to balance my phone on the bumper of my crew cab.

Re: AD Truck Project

Thanks 99, I am a frequent visitor of your build thread and really like your truck.

We are forecasted for a possible tornado outbreak later this evening, so I did what any sane Oklahoman would do... I worked on my old truck lol.

Now for a big picture update. I aired everything up and rolled the truck outside for the first time since Sept 2010. I was finally able to look at the front wheel placement and I am pretty happy with it. Now for the pics.
