hey killer could you please do a thread on how to make those awesome u joints? they are SWEET. i want to try to make a truck like yours if your cool with me using some of your ideas. thanks alot

[lowam]

i didnt see any pics in the tttt forum. is there any way you can post some more of the mini bruiser chassis. im trying to figure out how to build some driveshafts for myself thanks

[killer]

it's there!.. but to save your time from looking, here it is .. this one has a 130 type motor with a 5:1 gear ratio from a Tamiya Mini-4WD chassis.

and here's the one i use, powered by a Modified to accept micro servo Mini-Z racer electronic board,4cell Ni-Mh battery and a smaller motor, i lower the gear ratio to 150:1 so i can use a smaller motor, but the 5:1 of Tamiya Mini-4WD is too high even if i use a Modified High Torque 130 motor.

how do you solder brass like that . its really cool . i'd like to learn how to do that.

:ö: to solder brass.... well, this is how i do it

first make sure that the brass you are going to solder is clean, no lamination or cover... and then use a fine grit sandpaper only on the parts to be soldered, apply a liberal amount of flux on both parts then hold them firmly together, using a third hand is the best way to this (this is a tool with two alligator clips and an optional lens), use a 60watts or higher soldering iron... melt just enough soldering lead on the tip of the iron, then touch the parts of the brass (with flux) to be soldered (make sure that the iron is very hot) you will see that the soldering lead will flow cleanly on the parts to be joinned .

How much do you think it would run me to build something like that.... I dont know if I could ...wonder if you could hook me up with some u joints and other parts.

am back!!!!.. whew!,actually those u-joints are handcrafted from tamiya 3mm (for 1/87 truck truck) and 4mm (for my 1/32 and 1/24 monster truck) actually it's the same as the u-joint on 1/10 scale rc cars!

WOWZERZ!!!! man that little truck is awesome, i have been wanting to make something like that for quite some time now, the only thing that is stopping is not having those driveshafts that ur using to send powerto the axles....that little truck is amazing!!! wish i had one like that, in fact this just reinspired me,
