Bull It Angus 379 Build "HOT IRON"

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Starting a new build for a customer been holding off on starting the thread been waiting on parts to come in but since I got a few parts in and lots of others are to be here soon I figured I could get started..

This will be a x2 build 2 of the same truck at the same time for Bull It Angus out of Gann Valley SD there will be lots of one off custom alum parts on these two trucks.

This is the truck HOT IRON that I will be building.Trailers to follow..


Went out and took all the measurements I needed and some details and did a cad of the truck. I do these for everyone I build a custom truck for and a good reference for my self. I do these for a the custom parts too as you will see.



Started with some of my rails cut down and the frame ends tapered.




Then Russ's Air Ride and RC4WD scale bolts. All showing bolts will be scale bolts.



Then here are the 2 rollers


Since I skipped a bunch here is whats all on them.

Bone Yard.. Air Ride, Frame members and hanger bearing member.
Rc4wd....... Scale bolts,plastic punisher shafts, and Hauler Tires
Integy 55 turn and 6 tooth pinion
HiTeck 645 servos

Now here is where I am at tonight. First custom part a signal tire lift axle.








And that is where I am at right now. Time to go mount the other lift axle.

Axle looks great, used a lot of the parts I used but all machined now. Did you make them? I really wanted a machined axle and hoop. But did what I could.

Nice progress and trucks, as usual, TC. I was wondering what you use to machine your parts, like the lift axle cross-member. Let's see some updates!

Dwayne... These 2 were the proto types I drew up for Russ to see if they would work and they do work very well so I know the plan is to make them in both signal and dual set ups I just dont know when you would have to ask Russ..
