Breaking Bad, Fleetwood Bounder

[22fatcat]

This is what I mean about getting side tract. I think it will be cool when it's done, it will be different. I need to finish something before I start another LOL.

[dman10]

About what scale is that? Any clue?

[22fatcat]

well if i did the math right it should be 1/14th but it seems a little big. i made the width fit the tamiya axles. I am going to have the widows and doors 3D printed, and the grill I think

[Stuff]

friggin rights!

[hippy]

cool!

[dabears]

That's gonna be cool

[22fatcat]

i hope so Now I just need to stay focused

[22fatcat]

Did a little work on the Bounder today made a grill out of steel and changed the windshield a little bit and did some welding on the roof line, I will have to use some bondo on this one LOLhttp://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1017.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1017.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1016.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1016.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1018.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1018.jpg.html)

[22fatcat]

Are you going to have bullet holes in the side door too?? ;):D

well yea, it just wouldn't be the same with out them:D

[pumptech]

Very nice metal work !! ,very interesting build ,how are you welding it up ,stick,mig,tig ?. keep up the great work :D

[Espeefan]

This thing is going to be heavy! What gauge metal are you using? Something like 16? I get sidetracked all the time! I never get anything done. :)

[22fatcat]

Very nice metal work !! ,very interesting build ,how are you welding it up ,stick,mig,tig ?. keep up the great work :D

I used mig to get it stuck together. then I used tig to finish the seem. The metal is 16 gauge kinda heavy for this but its what I had so I used it

[22fatcat]

The 3d printed gave me some presents today. also waterjeted the ladder and a couple of mirrors out of stainless steel.http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1026.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1026.jpg.html) http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1025.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1025.jpg.html)

yea i was thinking that to:D

[dabears]

Looking good with the 3d printed parts! those things are awesome

[toniolillo]

I like very much your project

[kaptain Jack]

Real cool, did you cut the holes for windows,or punch pressed?

[22fatcat]

Waterjet:D

[dabears]

you got all the cool toys!!! I want a waterjet and 3d printer!

[22fatcat]

you got all the cool toys!!! I want a waterjet and 3d printer!
yea I am lucky to have a job that gives me access to all these cool things. But even with all the cool stuff I still like to do things with manual machines and by hand.:D

[22fatcat]

I would also like to say that I am very impressed with a lot of the builders on here some of you do not have access to high tech equipment and manage to build some really amazing things. My biggest problem is that I do things to fast I lack the patience that is required for the real fine detail that some people put into there models. I like to make them work and then I want to move on. But I still have fun and enjoy what I do and that is what really matters after all this is a hobby.:)

[gauthib12]

NICE WORK ....BIT*H!

I can't wait to see this rollin!

[wolfws6]

Awsome job!!! I dig the bullet holes in the door too!!!!

[22fatcat]

Thanks for all the positive comments, I will have some more photos soon

[22fatcat]

Here are some new photos of the Bounder, not a lot of progress and some set backs. I had to open up the wheel openings to fit the King Hauler tires:mad:
and then I got one of them in the wrong spot so I had to cut out a piece and make a piece to insert and weld in it will look ok but it's just more work.:(

[dabears]

[22fatcat]

Waiting for parts:(

[Stuff]

the part that makes builds the most frustrating.

[Hazzman]

Looks good keep up the good work :jaw:

[22fatcat]

:mad: Man it's just to cold out, I do not want to turn on the heat in the garage it will cost me a fortune. and I have lots of work to do. :mad:

[flatdeck]

[22fatcat]

well I worked on the frame today despite the cold and burned up a bunch of fuel:lol: the rear leaf springs are from a Tamiya High lift and the fronts are from a King haulerhttp://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1055.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1055.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1054.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1054.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1053.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1053.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1052.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1052.jpg.html)

[dabears]

nice!!! so it should be driving around soon?? LOL

[Stuff]

progress!

[22fatcat]

I have been toying with the idea of using a cordless drill motor and gearbox assembly from a Ryobi drill that I have, its a two speed. Any ideas on that I just thought it would be a little different and unique.:bounce:

[22fatcat]

I made some good progress today on the bounder, it drives pretty nice too it definitely has some body roll:lol: The transmission is from a junfac gmade rock buggy I found on ebay low gears to pull the weight 15lbs:D http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1080.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1080.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1081.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1081.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1078.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1078.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1079.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1079.jpg.html)

[plow jockey]

Looking Real Good! Great job!

[22fatcat]

Hey thanks, It's not a dead ringer but I think it's pretty cool, definitely different.

[Espeefan]

Wow, I haven't checked back in this build for a week or so, and I have to say it's looking really good.

[flatdeck]

It should be ready about the same time the snow leaves.. Getting ready o go camping....

Wayne

[JohnStilwell]

Freakin Awesome 22 Fatcat!!!

Just don't leave the keys in the ignition when you park to do your next cook.. Ha Ha Ha "B--tch"

(Best episode was when Jessie told Walt he was burning his money)

[Ken Orme]

I like the your method of mounting the body from the 2 uprights. You could hide the mounting screws under a couple of air vents.

KenHey thanks, I might go with flat heads, i am not going for a super scale build just enough so you get the idea it makes it easier.:D

[Stuff]

love the battery holder!! interesting way to mount servos. I should have done that on my truck!

[22fatcat]

:DI just try to keep it simple. The servo mounts are done that way on a lot of rc cars in fact I thought I had some plastic ones left over but i didn't and made those out of aluminum:D

[22fatcat]

:DI put the paint to it last night, I will start to finish the assembley and post some more pics soon:D

[flatdeck]

:worthless:

[22fatcat]

well here it is with paint. It's not perfect but I think it's pretty cool just the same. You could go nuts with details on this thing but I think I am going to stop and maybe put it on Ebay and see what happens.:cool:http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1100.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1100.jpg.html) http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1099.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1099.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1098.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1098.jpg.html)http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/22fatcat/Bounder/DSCF1097.jpg (http://s979.photobucket.com/user/22fatcat/media/Bounder/DSCF1097.jpg.html)

[russisloud]

[22fatcat]

It is, it has some serious body roll and it does wheelies. it reminds me of farm truck on Street Outlaws the way it pulls the front tire when you get on the throttle hard from the start.:lol:

[RCP57]

That looks cool! I was thinking a while back that you needed caster wheels on the back bumper! I've seen that on a few 1:1's.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

This thing is soo cool you have done a awesome job!! Is it top heavy to drive like a real one??

[22fatcat]

This thing is soo cool you have done a awesome job!! Is it top heavy to drive like a real one??
Thank you Yes it is I rolled the front tire off the rim driving it on the carpet.
it is fun to drive:D

[ears111]

[22fatcat]

[cabs]

Its real cool and definitely a one of a kind

[Espeefan]

Ha ha! That turned out awesome! There can't be to many of these floating around. The paint turned out very nice!

[22fatcat]
