TRX4 VS4-10 gets Custom Tube Work

[@trailcrawler2038]

You do great work! You should collaborate with Scale Builder's. Where you build the chassis and cage and running gear and he does the body and interior details. Then you guys sell it and donate the proceeds for a good cause. Would make great video series anyway.

[@sagoober2]

Heck yeah, it would be awesome to see what they could come up with together.

[@RuudK.]

I watched a few of your videos now and like what I saw. The difference with "other RC channels" are these kind of builds. From the ground up, all done by you. I really respect, enjoy and envy your craftsmanship and capability. +1 sub from this side of the ocean. Thanks for sharing.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Thanks for that 😎

[@garenosborn]

I know I’m a broken record when it comes to asking for this kind of content. I really appreciate that you did this one, it’s really helpful.

[@Loafina7or]

News update: Vanquish tube cages will be hitting the market soon.

[@RUSERIOUS76]

great seeing another fabrication video. You used to do these much more often.

[@henryurbina2555]

Nice job! I like the way you incorporated it into the body in the rear. Very cool!

[@joshuagregg1026]

Love seeing that NWSD table getting put to use.

[@tomandrews5392]

I like to see you doing this again gives me inspiration to build my own....

[@timhansen38]

I would look into using weldment profiles for your tubes. it a simple tool in solidworks that allows you to place tubes along a line, it does curves to, and you can create the cuts for the ends where tube intersect. Its a lot quicker than doing a reference plane and then sweeping the circle along the line. there is plenty of youtube tutorials on it.

[@brendanobrian7600]

You should look into swagelok hand tube benders for all you bending. I work with these every day and love them. I think they would work great for this application. They range from 1/8" tubing up to 1/2" tubing when I get ready to do some cage work I will be using them. They are very precise for bend radius.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Those are the benders many of us started with. They work but the radius is normally too large to get the most scale look. So many of us have bought specialty benders that can do tighter bends and are built more specific to this work.

[@AngryDavesADULTRC]

That Power Wagon body looks great in that shade of blue. Nice cage work. -"Angry" Dave

[@michaellenheiser3157]

Your embossed aluminum panels will finish the cage off nicely.... And a plate with the crown logo of course. 👍

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m thinking I’ll use it here as well.

[@matthealy563]

Nice work Josh! Looks great!

[@nicholasbarber4193]

Looking good so far.

[@Stickies72]

Great work, really nice fit up and it looks great. I see this becoming a really great looking truck, nothing beats the look and feel of good old fashioned metal hehe.

[@megaian001]

You should look into a “North west scale designs” pipe bender table! They’re fantastic and he just dropped a brand new one! Fantastic quality! Otherwise great video man!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ve seen that one, pretty nice. I have another bender by Oakenshield which is nice also but for solid rod, this simple one is perfect and it bends tighter.

[@joshuagregg1026]

The new bender that is available to preorder is awesome. I’m on the list for one of those!

[@rcbloke1766]

Your videos an information is great I’m going to have a go at doing some bar work myself thanks mate 👍👍👍

Freaking awesome bro!

[@bmg321wtf]

Nice, makes me want to fab something new

[@Jeepy84]

Sweet, i love fab videos! The print outs and everything really make me want to step up my efforts and learn. Is your machine 110 or 240? I traded some parts a while back for a tig. Really debating if I want to go through the hassle of installing a 240 circuit in my basement workshop, the machine can do both, but amperage is obviously limited. I would probably still need a dedicated 110 circuit if I went that route. Or I can freeze in my garage when I want to do metal work. It already has a 240 being an old auto shop. Thoughts?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

As we discussed in the live feed, I run a 110v system since my amperage stays pretty low.

[@rcmike09]

Maybe use some magnets on the body so when it attaches in the rear. Then you dont have body clips to lose and the body would move instead of break on a hard hit??

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I like your thinking! The body is really stable right now so it doesn’t need much!

[@82394forrest]

Sick!

[@ConsciousnessAndScience]

Good job brother man. How hard would it be to get you to make something. Itd be cool to have an orginal.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I really just build for myself, but do sell my rigs regularly.

[@ConsciousnessAndScience]

@@HarleyDesignsInc well brother I would be honored to have a rig from your craftsmanship I could learn alot.

[@00godlovesus]

Master fabricator:)

[@DarthCrumbie]

That was solid rod.. was it aluminum or steel?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Steel

[@17madracki17]

You gotta start doing some 1:1 tube chassis and wheeling.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

My tools are too small for that 😁

[@17madracki17]

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

All depends on the purpose. It’s no different than any other vehicle using overdrive.

Well im just trying to build a very solid very capable rig. Im using the of 10.1 just any tips or advice

I have old videos on that, you can watch the original deadbolt Budget Build.

[@GeneralHobbies]

are you going to mark your videos as made for kids for this COPPA act issue coming for content creators? as i understand it we make videos with toys whether we think its for adults or not FTC will be sweeping.. i guess if you dont monetize it doesnt matter? thanks

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I am not, I just have to hope that since all of our RC’s are marked for 14+ that I can continue as is. Because if we do, comments, notifications, and so many other features will be disabled. If that happens, KZbin will be pointless for me and I’ll have to find another outlet.

[@GeneralHobbies]

@@HarleyDesignsInc yea, im trying to be optimistic about the age thing when its clearly marked on boxes like you said.... but these ftc people might not look at it the same and go after some people, not all im sure but some. just trying to get some thoughts. thanks for the reply.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I have to be hopeful for common sense but it’s not something I can bank on. I’ll honestly mark them as I see is correct and see how they react as time goes.

[@johnbasterson7938]

@@HarleyDesignsInc in what world does "common sense" say a toy isn't for kids just because the manufacturer has to jump through legal hoops and claim their product is for 14+ to avoid lawsuits when younger kids get hurt using their product? Do not be naive. Protect yourself.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

If it were just showing a toy then I’d be more inclined to say I’d be out of luck, but most of my content is technical info that isn’t aimed at children. The stipulation says content that is “intended” or “appealing” to children which is not really what my content is. My analytics generally show that 35-44 is the largest subset of my viewership. Like I said, if I have to fall into that group, then I’ll likely have to stop doing KZbin as it will stop being a viable way of getting content to people.
