20Tacoma17's Mini-me build 1/9 Scale plus Wide body Overland build and now Mini-Minime.

If you're looking for busy work... I have a BHLM project for you

I have all of the parts:

• OR housings
• Pro internals
• RX350 projectors
• Meso stage II side markers
• Diode Dynamics DRL boards
• Retro rubber
• Acrylic signal covers

I'm just lacking confidence and know how. I'd gladly compensate you for time and additional materials (predetermined cost)... clearly I'd trust your attention to detail. This build is proof positive of that... beat part, I have zero timeline or rush for this project. Been sitting on the parts forever.

 

I have my own set I need to make repairs on that a professional did but did a very poor job. However I dont have an oven and no need for one so they are just sitting so unfortunately I cant help.

 

While waiting on 2nd box with some main items I was able to get started on front n rear suspension and assembling front diff and transfer case.

 

Are you installing the UCA bolt facing forwards or backwards?

 

I actually just installed the UCA's to their brackets to check for fit. The pin slides in from the front just like OEM.

 

Very cool

 

Final box of parts has finally arrived after a lot of stops. Lol
Now I can get back to work.

 

And the new Tacoma IFS and chassis begins. Of course I have to work all weekend.
Just wanted to at least get the main frame parts together.

 

Looking good , can’t wait for it to be finished

 

Me too. Once the chassis is done I can permanently attach everything and it will be done.

 

Until you add something to your truck and have to replicate it on the mini me lol

 

It’s hard to believe it’s only been 6 months so far. This build has come along way. You knocked it out of that park.

 

Thanks

 

Well after putting the front hubs and tires on I'm sittin really low. Tried pre loading but lost travel and smoothness.


Glad I bought spring kits.

Much better

 

looking really good. Props to the guy that did all that CAD for the scaled parts, great detail

 

Just got into RC car ANYTHING since the start of the shelter stay at home, now every time I take a peep at this thread and see your progress I am much more interested & appreciative of what you have paintstakingly done!

Oh, and now I want a Tacoma body shell for my Traxxas Maxx lol

 

Thank you. There's another build where he used a Traxxas but not sure which model. His is much more overland style and impressive.

Rolling chassis. Joined trans and motor after re-gearing. Electronics just set in their positions and tested steering, motor and 2 speed trans. 4-Low is REALLY low for crawling.

 

Fender skirts are a nice touch. Had to remove shocks because I forgot to add oil first.
Now to figure out a way to make remote reservoirs.
