Also; I know these are crap weld (for the most part) lol. This model is basically for me to look at and maybe sometimes play with.

Your wire size is quite large for the thickness of material you are working with. I would try .025 if you can. You may have to change the drive wheels on your welder to run that though I'm not sure. I am using .035 wire in my MIG and it is very difficult to weld thin material without it looking like bird turds.

Welds don't need to look their best. The welding you have done looks way better than the welding on some homemade or customized machines. I like the machine a lot. There aren't a lot of historical RC construction vehicles out their.

Well it's been a while but (as most of you know, cosworth and rcp lol) I am getting near the electronics (and final) phase of the build! So I thought I might share some progress pics:

.032 is OK , but slow the wire feed down turn the shielding gas up ( if that is what your using. If flux core wire, clean your metal better.) a little more heat wouldn't hurt .
