That brought a big smile ot face....thanks for sharing. Awesome! Love the shot of the front wheel up on the obstacle and the mud bog....

4-stroker,
YOU should produce these on a custom order basis! I bet there could be a market place for these!!

EXCELLENT WORK!!!

If you made these things, I'd buy a few of em myself. they're REALLY cool trucks, even in RC form. those are quite well designed too, the attention to detail is excellant, and they look almost precisely like the real thing, just a lot smaller.

How much shipped? Just kidding, thats a pretty nice looking truck.

I can't believe no one said anything about location yet!!

4-stroker - its a requirement to have your location information in your profile.

 

[red devils dude]

COOL

 

[brgmchevy]

Awesome! I want two!!

 

[rice]

That should be a good selling item. VERY nice!

 

[Dieselsmoke]

WHOA, I gotta have one of them, when they gonna be on the market?

 

[cranetruck]

That is really really nice! Great attention to detail. Must have taken you a year or two.
How did you put the drive train together? Did you use Mekano, FAC or somthing similar? Can you make/install additional differentials?
With the proper weight distribution on the axles you could experiment with differentials between the axles in all wheel drive (front and rear too).
The lack of those diffs is always a bugger in real life backing up-hill and so on.

Great model building skills!

Thanks for sharing.

PS. I began to build a model using the FAC erector set, but the cost for parts, gears in particular made it cost prohibitive for me. We are talking $1,000-1,500 here for the drive train alone.

cool does the winch work if it gets stuck?

 

[JEEPGUY]

Very nice man,
How long did it take you to build it?
And like some others have said, If you sell them I'll take one.

Great work !!!

 

[Armada]

That is sooo cool!
Is the front axle sprag or air?

 

[ke6kze]

Really nice truck. How big, what scale is it? Can you shift the transmission remotely. More details please.

Thanks,

Frank

R/C

I want one! Where do you sign up? I have the plans to build the wood part of the truck, but where did you get the running gear? Just in case you don't put them into production.

 

[Desert Rat]

TELL ME these are in production (and if not just lie to me!!!!!)

 

[4-stroker]

first ; thanks for all the positive comments!!

and.. no its not a producktion toy.. this is 80% homebuilt ... ehh.. i mean.. you can buy it some where ..i just dont....know ..where(had to lie , Brent)

drive train :
axles : from Tamiya TLT-1 mini monster
tranny : Tamiya semitrailer 3 speed (yes , can shift from the remotecontrol also at speed)
motor is a 55turn lathe.. low rpm motor but torq'y
..and the rest is homemade
tranfer case , it just 1-speed , its home made from some gears from a fuel r/c , and the case is 3 "sheets" of 6mm alu.
and the cargobed is made of alu that also..

@ Jim : if i try to bulid another one , i dont think im so lucky with the result , if its godd the first time.. its not the second

ohh.. and building time??..think i jused about 2 months or something around there

heres some pics form the building time.. : http://www.home.no/royhansen/m35.html
it has a new bumper and mounts since the building-process pics
and modified the rear tires tread

(and agian , sorry if you dont understand my english.. the just ask again..)
