RC4wd scale 4runner with scale 4WD Underground suspension
« on: May 08, 2020, 12:54:59 PM »
This is actually a build that I have had most of the chassis for the last several years. I had planned to use the "Big Bird" 4runner body for it but when RC4WD came out with their hard body kit I decided to get that for it. Most of the body is now done. and I'm starting in on mounting it to the chassis and fabricating the scale 4WD Underground suspension parts that will bolt onto the scale 4Runner frame and the Yota scale axles I have.

Just for mockup.

Don't worry the chrome bumbers are going away. I'll be fabricating some for both front and rear. To show some of the work completed. and some of the parts I plan to use here are a few more pictures.

No that wouldn't be strong enough. That is CAD (Cardstock Aided Design) I use the cardstock for a template then cut the peices out of 20 gauge sheet. Here is some of the work I've done on the Steering servo mount.

No progress. I had had another kid which is taking all of my project time for the moment.
