Re-build thread of an RC 75 Chevy Pickup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I haven't been able to find the "want to" too finish another scrathbuilt body I started on a year ago (67-72 bodystyle), so I have been redoing my other RC Chevy trucks.

I'm mostly building new chassis and adding more realistic axles to the trucks, and this will be the last, I think..

I stole the axles from this truck..so, it needs axles.

I bought these from my favorite online store

And this is where it starts

I picked up the u-bolts from ebay, they are for another type of truck, but they work. The other stuff is all made by hand.

This will be the new chassis after some work. I will have some left over for another truck I am going to rebuild..(Ford

)

Sometimes a little more weight in the tires help it do its "thing"

I just evenly space them around the inner ring..and no worries on being unbalanced, it just doesn't go fast enough..

I got the chassis made and the axles mounted up. The transmission and electric motor are just sort of laying there ..

In my eyes, this looks so much better.

Thank you Andy.

I finally sat down the other night and started putting all the electronics and the rest of the running gear on the frame.

I took it out yesterday morning, and it did really good, except for the tires, on an uphill climb on frozen, sandy, snowy soil.

And now, the video's.. I made 2, one going down the ravine, and one trying to make it back up. It needs different tires to make that climb.
