Rummy's Yota Truggy

[NickRummy]

Wow this is an old one. Actually A LOT has changed with this truck, including that it was sold

I can give you the cliff notes of the life as I owned it though!

Here's the ABS transmission plate that was made



Fabbed a new front bumper out of a solid black plastic. Added D-rings, a modded 645 servo for a winch and a winch fairlead.





Did lots of body work. Filled holes with bondo, smoother out where logos were. Detailed the grill.





Started on a tubed bed





Adding more in next post............

Fabbed the bed out of styrene and put diamond plate styrene on top of that



Lipo hidden under the belly



Bed mount for faux propane tanks



Added custom beadlocks and flat iron tires



Added some details to the bed



Gotta have air on the trail!



Then I decided to take the truck in a new path. We started doing team competitions in our local crawling group. So the trucks had to perform well. We were allowed to use winching also so I started a little redesign to help performance.

Decided to go with a flat bed.



Added some tie down channels on the side and a fairlead on the back for the rear mounted winch



Mounted the rear winch under the bed. Swapped over to a small 3S 1300mah lipo that fit up front under the hood.





Painted the bed and sealed the balsa



Got the cab painted and added a snorkel



Added window channels to the rear and made some windows out of .030 clear PETG
