Tandem Steer Tri-drive bed truck

[heavybed]

I am new to the whole RC world. I started out buying a few pre-built kits and found to be very unhappy with the quality. So I figured if I want it to build it.

So here is what I have came up with so far

42" 1/2 x 3/4 frame rails with 1/2 x 1/2 cross members
5 RC4WD Yota II axles
RC4WD 2 speed trans
RC4WD 3 speed transfer case
King hauler day cab

that's gonna be a beast!

Thanks guy
I got it all together and I am breaking solid steel drive shafts but it works great

[Jakyat]

How could you be breaking drive shafts? Must be something binding. Looks great though. What did you use for your winch?

[Espeefan]

Breaking driveshafts just driving around? No load? What kind (brand) of driveshaft and where are they breaking?

[heavybed]

Its RC4WD punisher shaft I broke the u-joint. But my rig is heavy

[Stuff]

haha just noticed this was your rig from UA6!

[heavybed]

Yes it was and now it going to be turned in to a tow truck

so the C channel you used, just from home depot/lowes? looks like a semi crossmemeber must have fit in there? I got a set of TLT axles and Im thinking of making a 8x8 or 10x10 AWD

wow...does anybody need a building relocated ...i know this can do the job...great job !!!!:bounce:

I used the c-channel I think its called OSB edge cap. All the cross members are solid 1/2x1/2 bar and drilled and tapped with 5/16 bolts. The only pre made cross is the carrier bearing.

I would love to build a compressor shack to haul around
