Rustang G6 and Scale Dash

[brazwewn]

I have decided to build a specific G6/Scale Dash rig. I am looking for something I can bash and not worry about. It is going to be light and have a two speed trans. There is still a lot to figure out, but here is what I have so far. Delrin chassis and a mount for the trans. I have a box full of parts, but still much more to gather.

Here's the skid and trans mount so far.

Here are some updates to the progress. My axles parts willbe here tomorrow, so hoping to have it a roller soon. Estimated curb weight is around 5.5 lbs. a little heavier than I wanted, but not bad for a Summit 2 speed trans.

Making some good progress. Really hoping to have it ready for the beach. I still need one set of paddle tires, but they should be in soon. The electronics still need. To be soldered, but I might get that tomorrow night.

Coming along nicely

I got everything worked out and was doing some testing at Palmerton. Pulled off the hood and the glue failed where the body mount was attached. Now I need to scramble to get that fixed by Friday.

I also decided to light it up. Why do I do this to my self. Hoping I get it all finished up.

Now that's thinking outside the box. This one will definitely be saweet!

I think your Chubs are upside down though.

Not only upside down, but backwards. I run the XR10 drag link pointed forward with a custom servo arm. It's all held together with Delrin tube inserts.

Finally got around to painting the body. I made a few dents with the heat gun and got it primed. Not really sure where this will end up but I am hoping for a good paint job that has been well worn with a few mis-matched body panels.

First shot of color. Many more to come along with an attempt at weathering. Hoping for the best but I am more of a make it look good kind of guy. This making it look old is much more difficult.
