The RC4wd RatRod Giveaway Build, Start to Finish, RCengineering

[@dragonflyjoyride]

I am glad to see a hobby store step up and help a great guy out. RC’s are a little of everything from scalers, bashers, construction, boats, planes and even scale Rat Rods. It’s whatever we like and want to build... and to have an awesome company see that and help out with parts to make someone ‘s dreams come true. This is another awesome build! Congrats Josh. Keep up with these builds.

[@JasonSuterOssum]

I am so pleased to have been a tiny part of this build. You really knocked it out of the park, someone is going to get a real work of art, I hope it goes to a worthy home!

[@RCeveryday]

Every time your involved in a project it gets knocked out of the park 😃. That grill shell was perfect and being so thick it allowed me an easy place to put the servo.

[@JasonSuterOssum]

Haha, you overstate my importance. I'm glad that grille worked out though. Its amazing how tough the shapeways nylon is when you thicken it up a bit.

[@Lurch812]

Bit of a hassle, but 1/2" square with the back decked off works great. I found the easiest way is to get a length bout 600mm long, clamp it in the mill with 2 vices and parallels under and take the corner out on either side of the top (longways) with an endmill. Do the whole front side then just move er over and do the back side. Itll get awefull noisey towards the end but just grab the loose bit and give her a gentle tug to dampen the vibrations (ehhh, dont do this while your boss is around) you can keep ahold of it till it comes off. You wont get pulled into the cutter. Amazingly! Then give it a quick linish and boom! C rail. Also you have a nice peice of flatbar too use too.

[@ricklozano2969]

VERY NICE ! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE VERY LUCKY PERSON THAT WON THAT PICE OF ART .. PS . THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE HOBBY .

[@BlueDually4x4]

That is a killer build. And I'm glad you got RC4WD to do a bit of sponsoring so you could do a giveaway build.

[@wadecaton4017]

Sweet looking rod. I would love to see that in my RC collection. I don't have any rat rods. Just crawlers. On a second note, I could listen to that sound track all day. Plus I could get more Texas dirt on it.

[@tilendynaguy4895]

DANG BRO!!!! Moving up in the world. You worked hard for it, you deserve it. This is another Bada$$ build For sure. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I've seen people lately using Super Glue to level out 3D printed parts

[@ricklewis950]

Your a beast with that grinder! I was like he's gonna cut that in half and make two channels basically? And then yep you sure did.....I wish I could do the stuff you do, just ordering materials is a feat in itself.

[@jbourque1985]

My son and I love your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow! You are an amazing builder my friend! It looks so realistic! The amount of detail And time you put into your work is amazing! Another great build by the master himself😎👍

[@marcosrodriguez6143]

My son love to make rc cars you inspired him to make them and when he saw the ratrod he said dad he made the most awsome ratrod I have ever seen and then i told him build one he can build one them that means that you can build one to so he did and he made exactly the same model as you did so then i said i told him told you he made one so you can make one

[@alien4x487]

i had some Kieth Whitley goin' on about when 46:30 rolled around. nice mix, nice ride!

[@thadiuspennington2277]

WoW ! Nice Work on This Cool Rat Rod Truck it’s amazing How you cant see any sign of A Battery , Servos or Antennae Crazy ! I’d love To Have this !!!

[@rcpete7055]

Where do you get your hard bodies if that's what they are? I've never seen any bodies like them for sale anywhere?

[@RCeveryday]

They are 3d printed. Places like shapeways, 3drc, ossumdesigns myminifactory etc. the design files are out there just have to find them and have them printed.

[@brennandoesstuff2516]

What size of metal do you use for the chassis?

[@stokedmfrc4343]

Thanks for the time and effort put in to making these videos. I'm sure it also is tedious, but very informative. The fourth rat rod build !!!! I bet it's hard to give away...Hope you haven't yet, I want it. Lol well don't really know how to enter to win, but I hope this qualifies as an entry. Keep the badassness flowin! Thanks!

[@RCeveryday]

Rc4wd is doing the giveaway. More details to come. They should have some info soon on their Facebook and Instagram.

[@gazzasstuff9419]

I don't see any thing about it yet on there web sight?

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow! Another kool ratrod made by the master! And a giveway at that! Awesome!😀👍

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

Awesome build! very inspirational! I got some great ideas for my current ratrod build....

[@Fiaudiodude]

Two words SHELF QUEEN. Worth watching the whole video. Great video, You sir did a fantastic job.

[@cripticcustomrc7043]

Awesome build bro that thing looks like a true to life rat rod great job on such a cool build👊💯✌️

[@robertrosson1990]

Pretty cool to take a bunch of parts and a idea and make a sweet looking rig.Nice job young man

[@thatsmyrc]

I always wondered when you put your motors in those engines will that make it run hotter? Less air movement? Just something I always wondered.. Thumbs up on the awesome build

[@gazzasstuff9419]

I love your builds. I miss building from scratch. I am going to enter the giveaway. I would be an owner to own one of your builds. Love to show you some of my old builds. I think you would like the work I put into them. This build looks cool and works well. Love it.

[@ashtonfischer5093]

Can you do a list of all the things you used for your build/other builds and a mesurmeants drawing

[@BC-rc]

A truck tool box would look good between the rails behind the cab, also would hold a small lipo for power.

[@theezZENtials]

congrats on this ..big move. watching the channel grow

[@blazer7133]

How much do you charge to build something like this and if you do how long does it take very curious awesome

[@RCeveryday]

I really dont do builds to sell. This unit has about $1200 in parts alone, took around 4 months to complete. I have so much time in them most people wouldnt pay enough for me to justify it. I have turned down offers over $4000 on the #2 ratrod truck. If I ever have the chance to get this one back I would jump at it, its the only one I havent kept. lol

[@blazer7133]

@@RCeveryday Well that's a lot more money then I have to spend on that but let me tell you you do a wonderful job they look excellent my favorite truck is a 37 Chevy but that's a real truck I don't have one But your work is excellent let me tell you good job

[@ricklewis950]

JUST A TIP if your interested, to make my windows I put tape over them first the trace the window a little bigger the I cut the tape and put the tape on plastic then cut the plastic and peel tape off when done!

[@oneeyemonster3262]

Have you tried...just going down to local A/C shop or HS??? They have metal plate bender so they can fabricate vents/ducts...to their needs..Just ask them to make you some. HS or local college might have those metal bending machines in metal shop. Mine did. Take your R/C cars down to a local HS..it'll get the kids interested in metal works or give them idea to work as a project.

[@mtbhux9711]

Truly impressed. The creativity is top notch. Awesome work

[@tecnica2001]

Awesome!!!! What is the width of the front axles with those wheels mounted on it??

[@RCeveryday]

Its around 7.5 inch wide from the outside edge of the wheels

[@tecnica2001]

ive been wanting to order a set of the semi drop axle to stick under a blackfoot body......are the rear axles without the dual wheels also 7.5

[@RCeveryday]

They are pretty close to the same I believe

[@denny75t]

Superb work! can you tell me where you bought the she'll resin body? Thanks a lot 😊

[@RCeveryday]

It is 3d printed and sold on shapeways.com by m-designs.

[@duhrailed]

would love to get a list of everything used for this build

[@STEVOD313]

Very impressive brotha it looks great! The scratch build giveaways gonna be sweet, I’d love to add this to my rc collection

[@MJ-Str8Thriller]

Use shrink wrap or upholstery thread. With the thread wrap it around the first wire then twist it to the next until the last one and tie.

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

Man what a cool Rat Rod Thank you RC4WD for all the cool parts and to RC Everyday for making one of your sweet rigs that we can get a chance to win.

[@mansonmydog]

Just went to RC4WD website and could not find anything on the give away.

[@RCeveryday]

They really haven’t been promoting it much yet. They say to enter all you have to do is make a purchase from Rc4wd.com from now to mid October and your entered.

[@Jbzy3000]

What is that axle called I know I’m late but I want to build something similar.

[@RCeveryday]

The rear axle is an Rc4wd yota2. This particular front axle is different than all my other rat rods and unfortunately isn’t available anymore. The one I use now is a 1cm drop version of the tamiya 1/14 scale semi front truck axle. I find them on eBay.

[@Jbzy3000]

@@RCeveryday thanks I saw that Tamiya one. I was going to build one with an SCX10 chassis. Have to get measurements. Thanks!!!!!

[@stevemattox6694]

So awesome. Thanks for sharing. You do great work. A real beauty.

[@andrewleonberger8609]

Very inspirational build. I'm going to be good like you one day.

[@sunilchambhare2520]

From where did you to take this all things ? please reply

[@jamesswift4641]

Cool build like all your rat rod rigs are😎

[@superleggera1992]

Hows it going? Im doing my first custom crawler chassis and I'm having a hard time getting everything square. I have limited tools. Any advice would b greatly appreciated. I love ur vids man

[@RCeveryday]

It would be best to make a jig out of thick steel plate with welded tabs to position your chassis on. You could mark all your measurements on it to keep everything square. I still need to make one for myself.

[@superleggera1992]

RC Everyday I ended up making one today. Turned out beautiful! Thank you so much. Let me know how urs turns out. I'll send u pics of build process once its complete. Once again thank you

[@astrogreenarrow]

What was the name to get the body and the grill

[@RCeveryday]

ossum designs

[@ed0c]

i have some stainless punisher shafts v2' no clue what to do with, they dont work with my axial scx10iii when i tighten down they lock up drivetrain.

[@mikefreeman8467]

Do you ever look at your comets how much for one of your kits verry intersted

[@RCeveryday]

I don’t have any kits of these yet. One day I hope to. For now these are all hand built

[@whiteyota07]

[@RCeveryday]

[@whiteyota07]

Well that's crap is it same dimension as the 1/14 semi front axle?

[@RCeveryday]

How do we enter or r we to late

[@RCeveryday]

Rc4wd should have more details soon on the giveaway. I believe if you make a purchase from their site this month you are entered. They just announced it on Wednesday so you have some time.

[@mikemoreno7655]

Awesome builds like your show

[@dirtydsrc]

Man she looks so sweet. Well done bud. Must be a registered user you mean have an account with RC4WD? Just to clarify. Witch I do. And place an order with them this month. So how will RC4WD know that whom ever wins the rig from placing an order is one of your supporting viewers and not just one of RC4WD's regular customers? Just curious? Because that would be a shame if it didn't go to one of your supporting viewers and went to some random customer that has no clue who you are. Just saying. Anyways This one turned out great. Really impressed how much learning curve you've over come. Keep it scale bud. :)

[@RCeveryday]

I’m pretty sure it’s just drawn as a random number from anyone who purchases from their site this month. Still awaiting more details from Rc4wd.

[@matthewgorrill4229]

You do such an amazing job man keep it up !!!!

[@marcosrodriguez6143]
