Heres pics of what I'm starting with, also showing how I'm going to join the pieces by sleeving the ends in each other. Each rail will also be plated on both sides with .32" brass strips once they are complete.

I just noticed my hairy gut is in the bottom of the first picture, I hope Harold Saran Wraps is Monitor and Keyboard befor he gets worked up and sprays DNA all over. Who am I kidding, Hippie wouldn't let the baby pudding go to waste :oops:

i would have never noticed........now im scarred for life

Finished one of the rails today, plated with 3/32" and the bottom was plated also with 3/32x1/2" for skid protection and a little more weight down low.

One side done, need to get more 1/2x3/32" strips to finish second rail then
once I figure out exactly where the center skid is going and install the shock mounts I'll do the finishing soldering and when tima allows do the final mock up hopefully soon thereafter off to powder coating !

I'm open to comments and questions

Brass is the new sexy!!

Thanks Brian, maybe starting a trend who knows ?

On the Crawler forum the guys were coming up with brass related nicknames for me, I personally liked "BrassHole" the best. Might be the trucks name ?

I kicked some major azz on this thing the last 24hrs, It's a ROLLER !
Onto the pics


What the heck is this thing you ask ?

I still have to figure out where the trans shifter servo is going and install the rear steering servo mount. Also have to figure what I'm doing for a radio box and battery tray and where the hell their going ??
I think the battery will ride shotgun next to the trans parallel with the frame.

Plenty to do yet, once the mock up is complete I will dissasemble everything and deanodize the colored aliuminum piecse and then decide weither I get it powder coated or try the brass aging/tarnishing chemical I bought ?

we got a badass here... this guys runnin' ROBOT servos:gasp:
