Jeep comanche truggy

So I picked my self up another project it'll be goin through transformation the next couple months figured id share some pics

That looks great! Did you but it like that?

I did buy it the way it sits right now cab is in real rough shape besides that new axles an links and chassis is really clean got some electronics on the way hoping to have it running by this weekend got some brand new 1.9 axial 8 hole beadlocks and trepadors to put on there also

The frame looks like it was worth it alone. What brand and model is the cab?

The chassis is definelty worth it it's a proline jeep comanche cab it's been discontinued for bout 3 years now so I've been searching for one proline does still make comanche but it's full truck with bed now so if worse comes to worse I guess I'll just buy full body an find someone or just cut and fabricate myself

So I finally got everything stripped off the chassis it'll be goin to the shop tomorrow gonna knock off existing cab cage and have new built that fits cab actually got new cab ordered also should start taking shape here shortly

So there's also a metal cage under the body?

Yes it does have original cab cage I tried it highlight in red the best I could it will be coming off and the cage that's mocked up inside if body wi be taking its place the original cage is like 4 1/2" it was really restricting considering I'm gonna try to do full interior in this one also

Nice. Good idea mocking it up on a photo like that too.

Ty there's actually few other adjustments bein made to chassis also I have to have one brace rewelded, one if the front shock hoops relocated it's just bout 1/8" out of line of other one so it's throwing font axle off, and rear shock hoops being lowered so I can run diamond plate across the back so I figured why not redo cage also

So here's a lil sneak peek of some of the stuff goin in it
Savox sc0251
Rc4wd outcry esc w/ 5 and 6 volt bec
Rc4wd 45t motor
Hangar 9 servo arm
1.9 axial beadlocks w/ trepadors
Rc4wd 15t bully pinion

Do you have to cut off those welded parts and make new ones, or can they be un-welded?

Not for sure how they're gonna do it my buddies own basin off-road works that's were its goin and they build full size rigs so I got faith it will come back excellent

Welding is something I've never learned yet but always thought would come in handy.

Welding is something I would definelty love to learn I was looking at some brazing videos in YouTube and was half tempted to try it out

Don't you need a bunch of equipment for welding?

welding takes a little bit of equipment but brazing u just need torch, flux and some silver solder brazing is right between welding and soldering I've attached video to check out

That seems like a lot of gas to solder/braze those two pieces together. Maybe because it was pretty thick steel. I suppose you could get a 1:10 scale RC roll cage or tube frame to heat up faster.

How thick is the metal rod used on your tuber frame?

So cage and rear tuber bed is all 3/16" brake line it wouldn't take much to heat I've attached better example. Guy is actually doing
