Custom 4x4 RC Trophy Truck Build - Part 1: Intro, TIG Welding an RC Chassis 

Bru...you need to patent your design and get them mass produced, you'd be rich and we'd all get to enjoy your works of art!

This "behind the scenes" video was awesome! You are a skilled fabricator my friend! I haven't built a truck from scratch in years.

im so happy that youre back love youre content !! i have a traxxas slash 2wd and now im a noob at this hobby and when i watch you im like damn 1 day im gonna make a truck myself just like you :D keep up the good work man!!!

Sweet! I've honestly been waiting for you to do this for a while now. Glad to see a full how to. I might have to look into learning to weld so I can tackle a project like this. Thank you for the great video! I'll be watching!

I really didn't expect this affort to make such a truck, very impressive! Awesome work!

Lol those little jacks are so cute

Very NICE !! Love to see people building RC stuff themselves , instead of putting together bought (or mostly sponsored) hop up parts. Looking forward to part 2.

THIS is why schools need vocational programs! Even if the students are more interested in "trivial" things like remote control..... Even if Cyconxc didn't pick his skills up in a class (he may or may not have, I'm not sure, just impressed)........ This is where passion can lead you. Hands down the coolest and most realistic RC truck I have ever seen!!!

This is we all need... perfect!! Thanks for this!

Bro i miss you, I'm out of the hobby now and you were my favorite

the man getting the work done..nothing less than a pro..thumbs up Justin

It's awesome to see the hard work that goes into your custom Rc's. Great video, I'm excited for the next part.

Sick man can't wait to see the finished product. My score handles so realisticly with the heavy cage I've got

Yooo another vid from cyconxc. This is AWESOME man!!!! Keep it up

that's what you look like! I like this format, vlog style, keep it up bud.

We miss these vids. Its 2024. We need more.

Super cool can't believe this is the first 4x4 you have made

Major probs Cyconxc - I love how you display your trial and error wooden chassis and i love you craftmanship - Those TIG's surely looks "easy" to use.. Good work so far

That looks nice- can't wait till the next episode

Great video! Can't wait for part 2.👍

Awesome video this is exactly how I started when I did it

thanks mate for taking the time to do this vid series for us. really interesting project and something i'd like to try myself... maybe in the 1/5 scale arena. cheers and look forward to the vids! thumbs UP!!

Woohoooo a building video 👍 Thx that u showing us this

THIS is what i have been waiting for, THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

cool man, i like your work, and it's good to get a first hand look at the creative process.

Excellent video Justin 🤙🏼 Thanks for sharing!

NEXT STOP FULL SIZE TROPHY TRUCK !!

Not too shabby talented for a young man

Excellent job once again Justin.

Oh wow that is super nice. TIG welding sure brings a lot to the table in terms of building. I only have a little experience with a crappy mig fluxcore welder.

It's very beautiful,I'm doing it, like you're the first one

I love the project I'm a beginner in automodelo I really liked your videos

Mad skills! Nice work!

u r the best Truck builder in the world !!!!! u new truck was so hot !

Very very nice work

Looks like a lot of people was waiting for this . Really good job my friend .

Sweet mate can't wait to c it all

That's awesome! nice work cool Idea with doing them in the wood first.

So cool to watch you work. Awesome job.

I want to watch this so bad, but i'm waiting for longer binge maybe part 5 or I'll wait till finished i'll binge watch through them all. For now I've subscribed.

This is sick!!! I want to see a realistic front I beam truck now lol

Nice job, cool to see your behind the scenes build vid

Dude, wait until you update video. Very good, and learned a lot of things!

man...you have skills! nice truck you made! cheerss man

Awesome to see you back man, keep up the sick work!!!!!

Fantastic mate always wanted to know how you build Zeus 2 and what stuff you used Thank you so much, we are defiantly going to try to build my own 4x4 Zeus added to playlist like a lot of your other vids :D

Props Brother. You do amazing work.

Great video man. Great job as always man.

Great work!!! I am 70% way through a (for look only) 1/10 scale Ibex Crawler frame with aluminum body panels, however I have used 6mm copper pipe and brazed it all :( I wish you posted this 3 weeks ago :) I didn't even think solid round bar :( and up until now i also didn't think an arc welder would have been much use for something as small as we are doing!!! Again amazing work really contemplating a need to make another frame like this!

Awesome video, love the cool running videos but it would be awesome to make more videos like this showing the process

I wanted to see how you started the first welds. Not starting with a half made portion. If your going to start from just a pile of rods, it would be nice to see how you started. Not showing a built lower portion then going from there.

Nice job in chasis build the new trophy truck 4x4

Wow amazing build!

Really enjoy your builds, man.

That's nice. I ended up with about 10 lbs of Titanium 1/8" tig wire and have been thinking about doing this..

Sir you are an artist :)

This is really cool.

Looking good. Keep up the good work

Awesome, very talented!

This is cool

love your vids keep up the good work

man you could make a business out of this - i would happily spend $600-700 on one of these trucks

Nice you made it look easy to do..

Wood Test chassis, Good idea, better than me just welding, cutting, re welding.....

Excellent!

Face revel? Loved it man!! Also when's a running video of Zeus? Also could you get me a deal on some Metal concepts parts? Also new intro kinda?

Nice video. Liked and subscribed now. Glad I found your channel. Looks like some awesome stuff your doing.

Wow your a young buck with some sick skills! I thought some retired engineer build these trucks lol. Great job and great videos totally on board this build :-)

Right on man keep it up

I just found your channel and I am inspired to say the least! I would really like to start doing this and I have a question. Are you using retail RC chassis/parts to start with or is that custom too?

I know I’m late to seeing this but my son and I have been getting into rc and having a blast I’ve always wondered if you could fabricate your own rc as a fabricator for a living it was only natural to think that lol anyway great video now I have a whole new rabbit hole to dive in. Hey not sure if you’ve discovered this yet but a skill saw with a regular framing blade cuts aluminum like butter I use a cutoff wheel only when I have too plus the dust is bad for u

Nice video

Very cool man

Nice work man!

very impressive

Awesome bro, love the builds

Subscribed i love the work👍

i respect to ya skill set mate .

miss this guy...

I know this video is old and I hope you see this comment. You're a much better RC builder than I am, but I'm a mechanic, and I will tell you how to make your truck better. I used to do suspension as a mechanic for an off-road race team. I also used to race RC cars and bikes. I've watched this entire series of videos more than once, and that is an incredible truck; no doubt, but I'll tell you where you messed up. In this series of videos, I see your left front wheel snap off twice on landings, and I'll tell you why, if you don't already know. Your weight is not evenly distributed. I'm not sure why you have the battery in the back, first of all. It is heavy and should be mounted as low and as central as possible. Granted, put some protection under it to prevent possible punctures, but that is your biggest coin in this game and you chose to mount it in the rear. This is why even sitting still, with the dual shocks it sits heavy on the rear. You have no weight upfront. You would do better, at this weight, even having a ballast on the front to keep it down. You're a superior RC guy and I get that. You probably sold that truck for a couple grand. Respect. But this is coming from a suspension guy: Did you not notice that in every jump the rear end lands first? That puts what I'm assuming is around 14 pounds directly on the front end as it transfers when it lands. This is what keeps snapping off the front wheel. It lands on the rear, because that's where the weight is, and then all of that transfers to the front, with no mitigation, and crashes down, snapping the hub, or axle, idk, I only watched the vids. You're obviously more superior than I in the RC game. But that battery, the most dense and heavy part of the vehicle, needs to be as low and centrally located as possible, and yet you chose to put it in the back. You're a great welder. You're a great RC guy, but you're a shit mechanic. Learn about suspension geometry and weight distribution, get back to me, and we can make a killer RC truck. Or don't. Them's the breaks, as they say.

nice build! do you want to share wich parts you use for front and read axle and drivetrain? would love more details on it

Nice

Are you using regular wood glue to build this wooden cage? Or is there something that will setup quicker?

Where did you get the rear trailing arms the rear swey bar and complete diff and rear axel

out of curiosity, from what rig is the rear axle?. thank you for this amazing video

Love it bro

Gorgeous work or hobby one size I'm your fanda

Cool

This is bad ass

Neat. Nice video

Awesome

How did you get measurements for the chassis, I can't find any type anywhere, or did you just wing it

Hi and good job . Where did you get the plans (dimensions) from. from what model is the front and rear differential ?

New sub here looking forwards to this build

Where did you gt the axles and the arms and stuff? Did you make them? If so could you do a tutorial?

Thank you for this! you inspired me to start building a custom rc car. mine still needs alot of work and this will help alot.

What rc is this truck based off? What A arms did you use? What where axle did you use? I'm curious about all the parts you used to make this happen. Amazing work!

Im not sure if you know yet, but the Albany sand dunes are officially closed. If you get caught parked out there, you'll either get a fat ticket or towed.

Did you make the front independent suspension and gearbox yourself or is there somewhere you can buy it?

I love this build planing a build like this myself.What shocks are you using ? Could I get a build list ?
