Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

Not what i think of as 'Mini Truckin'.
Plus i'd never seen a truck slammed on Dayton wires with a Snorkel and Sidesteps.

I was really impressed with the movements and how well they got it to do...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

I really liked the anime cartoon Initial D. The style that the cars were drawn in both the Anime and the Manga looked very cool and brought the 2 Dimensional cars to life. So what about 3D cars done...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

Somehow i started following a path about "WPL Ratrod" builds, i found out there are apparently some narrower 'Lowrider' axles a guy could print.

Now your friendly Pooping Robot can help you tuck...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

Been doing some more shaving on Red. Tailgate filled, closing up holes. 'Shave all the things' vs 'Shave some, keep some' Should i keep door handles?

Both are now sitting on axles, on springs.

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

As a rush job i got Red going using Blue bed setup, so that i could hit a meet. But real car issues happened, so no rc meet for me. (Jeep floor wasn't ready for a driver seat, little car can't carry...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

I'm not going to have Blue running gear done by sept for Mini-Truckin at 'Fifties Fest'. Red is a runner if i throw some electronics.

Should i swap the Blue bed mechanism assy over to Red for the...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

So that thing was pried off to start the mark2 setup which shoved the fulcrum outboard.

That's still not really the action i was looking for, so for mark3 the...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

Where's the love? Back to some work on the Blue truck. Gotta cruise before we get radical.

So here's that ''Servo gimbal glued to a chassis crossmember" first stage dump thing from earlier, with...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

The front axle is all in the knuckles. The outer face of knuckles were flattened. The flats of hexes were extended all the way in, and the screw hole deepened. I'd like to say all of that was done...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

Low trucks can't go around dragging really important parts on the ground. You gotta save the pavement dragging for all that unimportant stuff like frames, rockers, exhaust, body panels, oil pans...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

I've been looking into some options for making 'Bowden cables' to run the racks cleanly.

The sleeve spring-a-ma-thing part is the big issue but these seem to be viable, going by other builds and...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

For what it's worth, *I* am not even sure where this is going! I do know it's gonna be 2 seperate directions.

The fun part of the front-clip swap is that it shouldn't really work. But most real...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

So the C24 trucks (bed) have the Round headlight 4 block grill, and the C14 trucks (flatbed/truggy) get the Square headlight 6 block grill. They don't interchange. To tie into chassis the6 block...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

These D- wheels are a plastic front face and treadwidth with a glued on tire. The inner sidewall just hangs out in the air. They're cheap, rubber tread, narrower that the C- wheels, and stamped...

Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

Thanks tommy. With a lot of customs ya either get it, or not. I think this is one that can't be explained. 'Whose on first' seemed to fit.

Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

A while back a guy needed some WPL axles for a custom Dodge Tradesman van, but a set of axles alone with some metal guts weren't all that much cheaper than a whole C24 kit. Ok, guess I like blue a...
