[trippedonamidget]

this is great.me and you need to talk a lot.i want to build my first truck.i own a bunch never built one.wanted a 1/6 scale waterproof mudder.was gonna use a t maxx and chop it all up like you did.my questions are whats a good waterproof setup to push around a 1/6 truck,do you make your own drive shafts?cause mine will need to be looong, and do you like the axles like scale trucks have or tmaxx style?i need them tough and able to handle brushless mud throwing :):):)

@mysticwonder81

This video and the part 2/2 video that accompanies it will give you a fair overview of what the truck is made of. There are handmade parts, Traxxas Stampede parts and Traxxas T-maxx parts involved so you're not just going to "find" a truck like mine anywhere. It's a one-of-a-kind custom truck.

how did you make this video, i always wanted one of my own, but i cant find any anywhere.

i did about the same with emaxx diffs to make the emax 5b i made on my vids

[froshmasta]

@vaultstory

Yeah, maxx parts are fantastic for us DIY guys.

@froshmasta i had always wanted to build something like this since I was a kid. After watching your first video I got to work as it inspired me. I too wanted something realist looking. I made mine nitro. It's a pain to start, thats why i never posted a video of it working. This spring when i can get in the garage I will revisit it. Great job!!

@rg87ta

Thanks for the awesome comment. That's what this hobby should be all about. I hope this latest video helps or inspires you even further with your own project! Happy building!

Yeah, sick beast of a truck man!

[froshmasta]

@4mods

Thanks, I was aiming to make it a beast!

[trippedonamidget]

@froshmasta how did youy attatch the axles to the frame?it looks like there only held on by the springs.i want to runn a pair of titan 775s in mine and im not sure the best way to mount the axles

[froshmasta]

@trippedonamidget

the rear axle is 4-linked using threaded rod sleeved in steel automotive brakeline and using regular ballends at each end.
