Welcome to part 2 of the 4x4 trophy truck build!
Part 1 covered the importance of the wood model, and we began on the lower half of the chassis. If you haven’t watched it yet, you can check it out here: • Custom 4x4 RC Trophy T...
In this video we’ll keep it rolling. We’ll tackle the shock/sway bar mounts, and then I’ll show how to build the roof of the chassis to fit the body.

Mad props man. For someone who "Isn't a professional Welder", you definitely show other wise. I've been a fabricator for almost 7 years now and I've seen countless guys claim to be First class welders and "oh, I can weld anything you got" and in reality they couldn't stick to pieces of wet dog shit together. Never sell yourself short my man. Keep up the good work like this, you honestly blew it outta the park. Now I got the itch to build a bad ass cage set up !

Dude you could kill it in the fab/welding industry of these trucks. If you found a shop willing to hire a helper you would have a huge advantage over other applicants. There will be a learning curve obviously cause of the size change lol But you have the foundation of a very talented fabricator and welder!

I started welding my own full tube chassis but with a cheap harbor freight welder lol, definitely gonna invest in a tig machine but so far my doodoo welds are working, May have to try grinding all them to clean them up after the chassis is finished, anyway great video and had inspired me to build my custom slash 2Wd chassis

Just the basic's: What thickness are you using for the whole chassis? - When you use a 5mm steelrod when using the TIG, do you use alot? It seems like it's small amounts of wire. Again.. i bow down to the master, i'm glad you started this series with the showcase from ground up - I'm deeply inspired.

I was wondering why your trucks run and look so scale! It’s because it’s built scale 🤯 dude !! Unreal!! Love it ! If they get heavy just through some lower gearing at it longer motors and look for 6 pole BL motors for your builds bigger bullets and EC5 or bigger connectors go a long way in bring down motor load/temp. Well worth if for how sick your trucks look and perform. 👍

If you brush the area to be welded with a clean stainless brush and cut off the gray oxidized nub of the filler rod before welding, you'll get much cleaner, stronger, and prettier results. Really nice design. I've got some aluminum rod I want to do something similar with. Using aluminum for weight and heat dissipation. Looks like you're using a Traxxas Slash front end. Are you going to use a Yeti transmission?

Awesome video. Just a small piece of advice from a welder. Get yourself some welding sleeves. The light coming off the tig is sun burning your arms whether you feel it or not. After time it can do some damage. They're not too expensive but definitely worth it. For the time being a long sleeve shirt will do. Just figured I'd give you a heads up. Nice work.

You could do with travel limiter straps on front and rear or at least some fuel pipe on the shock shafts to stop blowing the shock's on heavy landing's and a bit inside the shock's to protect the lower seals, and hydraulic bump stops made from small touring car shocks 1/12th scale all round, and the rear shock mounts could do with a brace between them or angled onto the rear frame at the apex.I am impressed with how quickly it comes together, my suggestions are made as I have done the upgrades on my largescale and still trying to work out how to mount the hydraulic bump stops as my cages are made of plastic, but shock choice has been easier by using tenth scale shocks
@CyconXc
@CyconXc 6 жыл бұрын
With all things considered if I gave that 2nd shock some more low-end clearance the primary shock would of lost some travel. That's the exact reason I hate dual setups. You'll see in the later videos when I mess with the shocks some more. But yeah I've tried the whole mini shock bump stops. Fuel tubing works much better.
@ddubz6356
@ddubz6356 6 жыл бұрын
Cyconxc you should use travel limiters and bump stops they would add a better touch to the trucks and they use those on the real trucks so the suspension doesn't pull itself apart or blow them out on hard landings

This is insanely cool. Makes me want to build a custom chassis for my Tmaxx running gear. Side note. Looks like your using a lift start machine? Just a word of caution if you jump to a High frequency start they play hell with nearby electronics so I'd be careful around cameras. My radio is mounted under my bench and it goes full regard if I forget and strike an arc near it. Love the content.

What tubing are you using? Size? Carbon steel or what? And what do you use for plate stock? The aluminum and steel. When I had free time at the shop I worked for I use to build chassis’s with 1/8 inch tig rod. Now I have my own shop and want to try this. And btw if you’re building cages why not try custom a arms?
