Sand Rail Build coming up.

[Timmahh]

but its not a Baja Rail. I was contemplating converting one of my slashes over to run on the sand when i go to Silver Lake to play. BUT in looking around for a few things, i ran across a Very nice Sand rail chassis tuber. I looked at the two RC4WD sells and they are both very nice, but when i saw these ones, i knew it was the one im getting. SO buy the stuff im selling to i can buy the goodies i need to get for this Killer Rail Build.

this will be a long travel 1/10th (though the guy thinks the chassis are more of a 1/8th scale, though he uses all 1/10th gear for them), 4 seater with alot of detaila. I ll be useing a few of the ideas i got while crawling and doing my TT conversion build and implementing them into this build.

power will be thru a Slash VXL tranny and will be powered by a Novak 4.5R Velocity system wich can run up to 6S. WHOOO HOOOO.

i guess its just easier to pop up pics atm, so you ca see where im heading with it.

Sand Rail Tuber Chassis (im getting the black/silver one. Deal is almost finalized!)




we all know what a VXL Slash tranny looks like as well as a motor/esc, but i ll be installing the Fast Lane Maching Billet tranny system for the slash

(motor guard plate, bumper mount ect. is needed with the cases above)


If i can make this work out to cover some of the tranny area maybe without totally hiding the FLM slash cases ect...


and every sand rail needs a gas tank.
will try to use this to cover the novak motor area if i can make it work


Jato EXO CF rear and front arms



Jato Front and Rear Aluminum Hubs



Jato Aluminum Steering Whiper set with built in servo saver assembly


RC4WD X11 Remote Rezzis in 110mm for rear
(will lose the spring and adjuster rings. will only use the rezzi shock setup)

RC4WD Dual Spring 110mm shocks for rear


RC4WD Dual Spring 90mm shock for the front


and a Roof Rack


With RPP Hobby Aluminum Light pods with Clear and yellow lenses.






and for some extra Killer looks
RC4WD Torque 2.2 Rims all around (narrows)


with Panther Paddles and Razors



and every Sand Rail needs seating room for 4


will also get a dash (diamond plate if i can find some ) with working steering wheel. and maybe some light dash lights ect..

so thats the plan so to speak. you can imagine how it may look, but i ll help you out some with these 3 pics of ohter units that has been built from this Rail Chassis




will post more once parts start to arrive and build begins.

holy crap timmah. you never stop!! that is going to be wild. i love the detail that is going in it like the fuel tank, seats and maybe the dash. ive also never seen or heard of those chassis before. so is it pretty universal so that you can put almost any suspension on it or is it designed for a specific set-up?
what does one of those chassis go for?

 

[Timmahh]

they are made custom by a guy on another forum. they are designed to work with Jato or Stampede parts, so most any hobby shop would carry stock parts for them if they sell traxxas stuff that is.
200.00 for the chassis.

 

[Bigger the Better]

Oh my! What a build. :cool2:

 

[GH Racing]

they look wicked

 

[dancomer]

i have a feeling that your will be better than the ones pictured by far

 

[crawlercrazed]

any update???

 

[Timmahh]

yea, been shelfed for now. guy making the chassis hasnt been able to finish it up due to being fined 1000.00 for working out of his garage in an Improper Zone. Seems he must of pissed off one of his neighbors recently. so at this point, its in the hurry up n wait zone.

 

[rcslashdriver]

[Timmahh]
