Another one....Brennan's rig...Silvy truggy

[Crawln Coles]

I've been teaching my oldest son how to braze & do tube work (he's 11).



He wanted a scale/mud truck in the worst way & after getting straight A's for the third time this year...... I gave in



He built the tranny and we each built an axle. He also did most of the bends and cuts (it's only a lil crooked!) I held the torch and he applied the silver solder. I even let him do the last few joints all by himself!!



Just got it PC'ed and we're gonna hang the axles tomorrow.



Well here's the specs:



Ax-10 axles & tranny
Axial 8 hole beadlocks
2.2 mudslingers
traxxas & Integy shocks
Dale Jr. Silvy cab
& no electronics yet!!!

Very nice guys! Great job Brennan...but I will let you in on a secret now that Dad has shown you the good stuff he may put you to work

Looking like it will be a fun truck!

Thanks guys!

We decided to run droop in the front w/ axial shocks to lower it. He likes how it sits, but I wanna move the rear axle back a lil. The rear axle needs locked out & the tranny needs mounted.

I have a sheet of styrene diamond plate that I'm a cut out and let him paint for the bed...and maybe an interior

Don't know what we're gonna do for electronics. I have a waterproof ESC and I might try one of those warrior 35T's. He wants some wheelspeed!











Max Flex!




Yeah he'll be at the comps. He still has his comp rig running strong w/ a few upgrades. He ran twice w/ me up at Freddies.

Re: Another one....Brennan's rig...Silvy truggy

Well it's a runner. Had it at Ohiopyle & acidentally took it for a swim & cracked the body

So I'm not going to play w/ it anymore until he runs it! Still needs an interior, but that' on the back burner for now!
