RC Sand-dragster build start to finish (time-lapse) made from old RC stuff and sheet metal. 

Thank-you. I started making the roof at 23:54 😉

Yup... i watched that too

Your welcome, It keeps me busy.

Thank-you.

Thanks Robert, I hope your build is going well. I did leave my email for you in the other post.

@@EdwardRCDrum E mail sent last night.

Thank-you!

Thanks!

😆

Thank-you! I agree, something very satisfying about creating something new from old broken/used stuff.

Thank-you. "Rethinking things" is a big part of the hobby! Have fun with your build.

Thank-you !! Yeah, I used to have 'Ramble on' by led-zep in this video then one day I got a notice saying the video has been completely blocked from being viewed. I removed the song and all is well...you never know.

That is a nice compliment, Thank-you!

Thank-you.

Thanks!

Thank-you.

Thank-you.

Excellent!

Thank-you!

Thank you.

@@EdwardRCDrum 21:46 I just wanted to say how impressed I was not only with the build and your skills but your parts! You say it’s an old Tlr 22 but I’ve never seen those front steering knuckles before! They’re sweet! Next I must point out is how did you get the Exotek front bulkhead! Incredible!! And finally sorry for rambling but where’d you get the rear shock tower? I also did a Tlr 22 2.0 build but couldn’t find that bulkhead:(

@@austindickey1136 Thank-you! The chassis I cut was a 22T 2.0 stadium truck. I would imagine the Exotek upgrades have been discontinued, I could not find them on line. The suspension arms are from a 22-4 4x4 buggy which has also been discontinued but the caster block is TLR234026 and the spindles are TLR334007. The rear shock tower I made from the aluminum of a broken 22-4 chassis. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

@@EdwardRCDrum absolutely amazing

Thank-you! I really enjoy repurposing RC stuff I don't use anymore. I am thrilled that it inspired you and would love to see what you build.

Will definitely get back on my build..when it happens.

I've started my build and like to get your opinion. I can't send pics on here. Let me know if interested how to contact you . Thanks Rob

Thanks, it was fun.

Thanks!

Thanks. Not sure....maybe a dedicated 4s plow truck made with what I have around. When the snow and temp is right it can be a lot of fun.

Not sure if they changed the music but I’m hearing “right now-van halen”

Thanks! 😆

Thank-you! I am a drummer and used to use audio from previous bands until I ran out of material. I hope to include more of my drumming in the future. Rock on!!

@@EdwardRCDrum 🤘

Not sure what you are asking? I used a cutting wheel on a dremel for a couple things on this. Thanks for watching. :)

Thank-you! I believe that chassis is 7075-T6 2.5mm aluminum....my old hack-saw blade may have been a bit dull as well. 😆

Thanks!

Not yet...still having to much fun with it! 😁

I just noticed it's mid motor..must be something else you used or relocated your trans.

It was a 22T-2.0 (2wd stadium truck). The middle section I added was from a 22-4 buggy chassis that was cracked and unusable.

Correct, the 22T-2.0 had a mid-motor option. For a dragster a rear mounted motor may be better but this was all I had. Any rear 2wd model would work just fine. The 22T had very long A-arms creating a super wide stance so I used 22-4 (buggy) A-arms (with a little modification) to narrow the width. I am really enjoying this dragster and best of all it didn't cost me much at all. Good luck with your build!

Just to sit and look at it is Rewarding in its self. I'm a machinist by trade..and what I find most rewarding is the instant gratification you get from stepping back and looking at your work.

@@robertregalado1015 I agree completely.

😂

Perhaps I may re-think how to latch the body, good suggestion. Thanks.

@@EdwardRCDrum from an aesthetic standpoint I think that would look a lot better. You might could even use some strong neodymium magnets. Since this isn’t a jumper/basher you just need to keep it down so wouldnt take much I would think. I always love running in the sand although clean up is a PIA. Nice looking build man. Good job.
