MCD pipe

[Clubin]

Well done, I like your rear chassis brace idea, simple but absolutely functional. Keep up the good work.

 

[Simsy]

I cant take the credit for the neat welding mate a mate of mine is doing it for me but yeah he dose a great job.

ive heard olimat engineering do great work,also pipes for mcd ,rampage, hpi baja are comming out soon,not bad for a company from down under,(australia) comming soon to powerslide racing. com.au

 

[kingwalker]

oh i forgot simsy you better put a 40cc motor in your ramp if your going to catch skip or redline,don't worry about the other fella as you know his cars are always needing fixing

 

[Simsy]

A bit of an update the cage is allmost finnished only need to do the nurfe bars and powder coat it now.

 

[DemonRC1]

Great job there. Get some lexan panels cut for it and paint em up. That'll look killer.

 

[kryptonite5b]

damn. that was one bad ars cage!! i wonder if channel welding would build us something like that. i doubt it, its worth asker her. awsome job!! like the whole pipe setup with the side/rear chassis supports


what ever happened to all that alloy you de-anod. it would look killer all decked out with the cage and alloy.

 

[Simsy]

Well now that most of the cage is done a full strip down is next so I can deanno the rest. I am going to make some lexen pannels as well with lots of shiny alloy it should turn out fairly wild. The only thing im stuck on at the moment is what coulor to powder coat the cage and what paint coulor for the pannels. Oh and my mate did the cage for me he may be interested in doing more for others but chrome molly isnt cheap and his skills are worth paying for as well and then theres the shipping.

 

[Simsy]

Ok I have done a mock up of the body to see what you guys think. Its just cardboard so its a bit on the rought side but you should get the idea.

 

[Simsy]

 

[Simsy]

Maybe it needs some more panels on the rear sides

 

[kaztheminotaur]

Yeah, I like that.

 

[Simsy]

Bit of an update now I have the cage powder coated





The build should start tomorow I think

 

[Simsy]

I want to see more of this build and i would love to have that cage

 

[Simsy]

you got much bearing slop in the centre diff carrier?

No no slop at all but I do use loctite 680 retaining compound on all my bearings that are in alloy.

 

[Simsy]
