Well, another weekend of unproductivity! I did get a little work done on the truck though. I fabricated some basic suspension parts for the rear axles. And finished up the differentials, driveshafts, and motor

But other than that, I have not done much. Even those solid beam suspension parts are messed up. I made them to short!!!


Still more to come!

So, still in a slump.

But I have gotten a little bit of work done in the past week or so.

This is a solid beam non-steering lift axle.

It was a long project to get this to print right, then to figure out a mounting system for it, then to realize that I was not going to use it on the T800W frame, it is too short!

Still, I am slowly making some progress on the T800W build. Although, I have recently come across the idea of using all Tamiya parts on my differentials, so it is done right, as the plastic gears are prone to binding up.

Soooooo.....
It's been almost a month since my last post. I have been busy with some family stuff, and work, and occasionally doing a little work on my T800W.

I bought some tires for my truck. Including some RC4WD Super Wide 1.7s for the front side.

Other than that, not much going on! I also started a half round dump trailer build, but I think the chassis might get a custom wood chip style box, I need to move a large amount of rubble out of the log yard, and I won't have the dump set up complete until sometime this winter.

Thanks for reading!

So....
Not much going on around here....
I kinda broke my arm while I was riding a four wheeler a few weeks ago... unfortunately I can’t use my arm for at least another week, so that halted work on the T800W.

The non steerable drop look good sitting there by the truck.

BUmmer to hear about your arm. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!

Back in the saddle! (Kinda)

My arm is still in a cast, but I managed to start a new suspension on my T800W. It’s kind of like a 4-bag air ride suspension... without airbags.

Pretty cool to watch you try to 3D print a trk, keep going with it, very interesting

I feel your pain in the arm, I took a tumble on my quad spring of '07 & crack my pelvis, no cast & no hobby activity for 3 months! Take 'er easy

Hello all....

Thank you Lil Giants, yes it has been taking it easy for the past month and a half, only 4 days left in a cast for me. WooWoo

Anyway, not a whole lot going on around here.

So it’s been a hot minute since I’ve shown any work on my truck.... and I still don’t have a lot to show for my efforts. The chassis is finished for the most part. I just have to fix the front hub for the wide steer tires. After I finally test drive it, I will finish the cab and hood.
