Utility Truck

[WhiteWolf McBride]

PLEASE:

Specs on those rims/tires? That looks like it could become like something out of one of the Mad Max movies... particularly #3 with all those monsters hiding bits behind canvas ragtops.

Hmmm, that gives me a few ideas... or it could be made into a BTR-152... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTR-152 (as seen in " Navy Seals " )

Let us know, ok?

Specs as follows:

Front:
Pro-Line Dirt Works 2.2" All Terrain Truck
Pro-Line Epic 2.2" Black/Black Bead-Loc

Rear:
RC4WD Rock Crusher X/T 1.9 Tires
Axial 8-Hole 1.9" Beadlock Rims
Home made dualie adaptors.

Rear Axles are 25:1 worm drives from RC4WD.

I chose 2.2 for the front and 1.9 for the back so it would look like it had supersingles on the front.

I Passed a milestone this weekend, had it's first running roller test using 'borrowed' gear from my rockcrawler. Got some not so good cell phone vid, will post up soon. To see it moving on it's own was good, even in it's bare chassis state.

Here is the drivechain test vids, sorry about the cell phone footage, I did not have my GoPro with me.

Very basic test, used motor/tranny from my Rock Crawler just to get an idea. Will up the motor & gearing. Also, the rear steer was flapping about back there, will have that in soon.

Oh, here is some photos of the drive chain:
