RCengineering, New RC Rat Rod Chassis Fabrication and Suspension, #4 Ratrod build Episode #!

[@ExStaticBass]

Assuming you're using TIG for your welding I have a couple tips that might be helpful. From what I see here it looks like you're not allowing the after gas to do it's job. If you simply hold the torch close to the weld after you turn off the current it will allow the gas to envelop the metal and keep it from oxidizing as much. You might also try using a little less fill rod and a little less current. If you are in fact letting the after gas do it's job then it's a matter of getting the current right. That or perhaps your mix is off if you're using a mixture. I'd go pure argon for something that small. Great video, love the builds...

[@ExStaticBass]

Yeah, you need a TIG and you can get a cheap one from Harbor Freight that works on 120 volts AC just fine. It will do a much better job than that MIG you're using. They go for around $80 last time I checked...

[@salinasanders2241]

scroll saw will cut perfect for that if u can walk it threw straight

[@onyourface207]

Haha awesome, you felt bad for not making a video in the weekend. You are a true KZbinr.

Man that's looking sweet!! Can wait to se the final product!! Very cool!

[@OldIronRC]

The new rat rot looks awesome! Liking the truck cab.

[@RCeveryday]

Thanks buddy, im pretty certain this is going to be the one I have to use the RC4wd v8 on. It is very limited on space. I am excited to try and make it scale like you did on your charity build. Now if I can find one in stock anywhere. lol

[@Del350K4]

Hey, Josh - I´m glad that you´re feeling better. At I8:30, when talking about the Goodyear Eagle slicks, you say "but what do you put on the front?" When building a truck recently I was faced with that very problem; what I did was to measure the OD of my rear tyres and then order myself a pair of model aeroplane wheels with a ribbed tread pattern of the same diameter. The high tyre profile and rounded section look strangely appropriate on my truck, so I thought the idea might be worth mentioning here. By the way, it was a real nostalgic pleasure to see you feature Ol´ No. 2´s rear suspension again : )

[@RCeveryday]

Thanks for the tip my friend, I will do some searching for the plane tires. Those type searches often render unique finds.

[@Del350K4]

Dupro "low bounce" wheels might look quite cool on a rat rod. With that ribbed tread they remind me of WWII "desert raider" balloon tyres or the sort of thing you might see on I930s hot rods during the 50s, when they raced on dirt.

[@GearHeadJonny]

i love your builds, they're so cool!

[@thiers6937]

They all look awesome man.got lots of talent. RAD little shop.

[@SwampersRC]

GCM has some scale plastic engines on Shapeways that can mount over your electric motor/scale transmission.

[@KS-wt9gj]

YOU BUILD SOME COOL SHIT

[@teotal_art]

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

Hi Josh good to see you feeling better ! I feel that the body rusting looks grate, Like it was found on a old over grown farm that was lost and is now all woods ! love the look man I will be around to see this one to the end nice work bud

[@jamesmiller2220]

[@sixwheelcarlisle8491]

This is sweet! I never thought about a rat crawler. Great content, loved the FF build speed. I subscribed 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@vincentlujan5586]

How did you do the front suspension

[@TheCatoLee]

[@emersonpedro3944]

Lindo........

[@Webusonly]

😍😍😍

[@heypendeckos]

Bro try to cut out of metal or wood.a bat wing or shape u like make a long one to mount bags to and bolt them on to the side rails arching over the back like extensions to mount the bags to...m

[@timhammond9057]

Awesome Rat Rods, Where do you get the truck cabs from and are they 1/10th scale ?? I dig the weathering too.

[@RCeveryday]

This one is form shapeways designed by M-customs, my #2 truck is from ossum designs on shapeways as well. The sedan body is from nightcrawlers3D on instagram. They are all pretty close to 1/10 scale. The sizing was set so they worked well with 1/10 scale crawler parts.

[@newcoisas3446]

Hello !! these "RatRod" options can I buy? where? in quantity?

[@JarcodeRover]

Stunning job!

[@Godfather11511]

How to mount 12mm Hex wheels to Tamiya front axle as shown? Im in struggle :(

[@RCeveryday]

There are some 3dprinted adapters out there. I drill out 12mm hexes and use some spacers to make it work. Just needs some grease.

[@christiangil5880]

Where can I get a programable controller for a t5 mid motor rc truck.

[@robbieblieck8792]

Im your 1k like 😁

[@quadflopper1012]

is the channel you used for the frame rails a stock material you can buy or something you fabricated from scratch to look like channel?

[@RCeveryday]

The chassis is made from 1/2 inch square tubing cut in half. It has been impossible to find any c-channel that size.

[@whitetrashbandit2704]

[@resistantresistant5145]

Bonjour de France . Ou je peux trouver les pneus Goodyear ? Cordialement .

[@RCeveryday]

The large Goodyear slicks were from a 1/8 scale model drag car. Use to find them on eBay but I can’t find a link at the moment.

[@resistantresistant5145]

@@RCeveryday Ok merci Sont vraiment super vos modèles 😀👍

[@karlschweizer2554]

glad your back

[@luisjonassk8]

Nice rat, man! Where did you get this front wheels and tires?

[@RCeveryday]

They wheels are RC4wd 1.9 wagon wheels and the front tires are rc4wd 1.7 super wide semi tires.

[@luisjonassk8]

Thanks, man!

[@shiftycent1113]

This rat rod shit looks cool but let's be honest...it's completely pointless

[@RCeveryday]

I have a running video out on this truck now, not as useless as you think.
