1/6 Losi Hummer (CC1717) Build

[nitrostarter]

Brian- I did some cutting on 6061-T6 alu .250" thick yesterday. I used a Ridgid jigsaw (AC110 power) with a metal blade. This combination was great and cut through the aluminum like butter! Plenty of control on the blade, pretty perfect cuts too. Much better than my metal band saw.

Build is looking good so far too!! Love the Hummer body.

If I have to make another long cut I may have to pull my jigsaw out and pick up a good blade for it (I'll admit the long 24" cut with the hacksaw was not fun ). For the small cuts I'm making now, I don't mind the hand saws.
