Rubicon Tuber #3
For Wild Trail |
| Here
is the latest, a 3rd HPI Rubicon based chassis, this one is destined to
be a scaler I think... |
|
|
Getting the windshields frame at the right angle and the rear support
lined up takes the longest, the rest is basically just a support system. |
|
| Paal
wants a large stinger - How is this? |
|
| I cut
my mock-up body a little to test the fit for the days work, it fits like
a glove. |
|
|
Day One is done...
|
|
| End of
Day two... Shortened the
stinger, added hood section supports. Installed the front shock
mount braces and started working on the tire rack (not pictured). |
|
|
|
| End of
day three... All that is
left is shock mount panels and a belly pan, some primer and the mail
man! |
|
|
 |
|
| Here
is a mock up with my un-dovetailed test body. You can see where
the spare will mount to the integrated spare rack. |
|
| All
finished. Made the shock mount panels and belly pan, and it's all
set to ship! The shock
mount plates are left blank and can be drilled for shocks as required,
no unnecessary holes. Upper and lower links are mounted to the
two-piece belly pan via included, but not installed, TLT link mounts.
The body is mounted via 8 screws
into brazed on nuts. |

| Here
is a pic posted of his completed rig. Looks awesome Paal! |
