1.9 tubed 40

i started this a while ago,
made a chassis out of 11x11 box
heated & bent then sliced it up the guts
worked alright then me being me decided to hack it up & tube it
its around halfway there,but i've probably spent 5 hrs on this thing in the last 6 months.
she will be runninga;
a rooster crawler & 35t
into a hpi reduction g/box
into a wheely king(g/box) t/case
axial diffs with 4 link,
90mm ultimate scale shocks on full droop,
silver sunnys & half worn simex pedes
with a trimmed up body.
there is still a bit of barwork left to do.



















cheers Aaron.

i know what ya mean the 40's been done that many times
its hard to do somethin different.
but when i tube its as custom as ya get,
i make 1 offs,i dont make jigs for mass production


cheers Aaron.

its a bit like that mate
I have 3 sets of axial diffs,
1 pair of f350 diffs
& 2 sets of arb rex 60 diffs i might aswell use em aye
you can see why i dont mind the dogbite out of that 40 body mate
the way i drive it'll be good to have a spare


cheers Aaron.

Yes well i did bring it with me last Sunday at Rochdale.......but there was no Aaron

yeah i've got 2 stuffed pinions but i did go to j.c,
there was heaps of dry rock
was suppose to meet some one there i was buying parts off but they were a know show

allright update time i've mounted the motor gearbox & t/case.
driving it last night to give it a test run
& lets just say click goes the w/king gears
so i think i'll be using the axial g/box for the transfer,
its alot more compact anyway.


cheers Aaron.

sorry for the slow update
done some more barwork,
still need to make sliders,scrub bars
& a front bar,
anyway heres some pics

heres a quik vid of this mornins test run

i thought i should update in the right place
front bar, sliders & scrub bars done.
started on the interior.
the list of things left to be done is gettin shorter,
expecting to hit the trails with this thing sooner rather than later














cheers Aaron.

reshaped the rear,
mid mounted steer servo next to the t/case,
done some bracing in a couple of spots.
And just finished painting her

decided to leave axial diffs under her but she is wearin new boots
have to shave the axles down a bit,
make a 4 link upper mount,
& finish the interior



cheers Aaron.

shes painted,just have to;
finish interior,
shave axial diffs & make 4 link truss,
the steering took a bit of tinkering to get right bump steer is almost 0 .
anyway let me know what ya think so far.

cheers fellas, Aaron.

That looks awesome.

cheers jarrod,
did i do justice to the 40's bro ?

Definately did justice there. Are you going to have the hood on there as well? Hinged maybe?

yeah mate i should've done it for the pics
electrics & battery will be under the hood.

allright my latest dilema is wether or not to give it a bonnet lift or leave it to close flush

what do you all reckon ???????




azwa.

the 40 is coming along nicely mate top work. that bar work is a grade for mine mate. very well thought out, tough but not excessive

i rekon if you leave the bonnet sittin flush and manage a bonnet scoop, for all them big 40's runnin 308's and 350's that would look wicked mate. im not sure on the logistics of it all but just my 2bob

thanks heaps mate appreciate it,
yeah i found some lexan for a scoop & had just enough paint left & have mounted it onto bonnet
the heat fins from the esc poke up into the hole & is visible thru the scoop
as far as bonnet lift goes i'll put up some pics 2 show what i mean.

long time no update so heres some pics i took yesterday ,
dont worry about the boots she's wearing i leant the rocklox to a mate & havent put em back on her yet.
the interior is done other than attaching the steering wheel & gear sticks ,
under dash the battery & esc mount is 50 % done ,
the fins from the esc can be seen thru the scoop & if i've got room i'll put a cooling fan on top of it.
takin my time so she looks the goods for the 4x4 show , but geez am i itchin to beat the #### out of this thing .
any comments would be appreciated if theres somethin that i've over looked let me know .













oh yeah & heres a peak at 1 of my next projects

The 40 looks awesome Azwa!

Loving the 70 series as well.

Looking good there.

Where the hell did you get the 70 series?
