You are my HERO

I'm not going to ask you anything else, because I'll keep you busy for a month... But lets just say, if you make a radiator and dual fans, I'll take one for sure...

Cool. Will need some dimensions though

I was thinking of placing it here:




What do you think?

I guess that's a logical place for it on a 1:1 crawler - no chance of it getting hit by any rocks, unless you roll it & then you'd have bigger problems anyway

... from my point of view it's good as there's plenty of depth there ... looks good

Decided to make some sand ladders for the F350.

Started with some some 3mm styrene sheets:




Made 2 reinforcement rails for the bottom:





And then started adding rails on the top for traction:






And it seems to carry the weight of the truck:





When the glue is completely dry, I'll shot it with flat aluminium paint, and when that is dry, I'll try black washing the whole thing.

Excellent :L

Usually scale sand ladders are just for show - but those look like they really could get a scaler/crawler out of a hole ... I might have to copy those

I have to admit defeat on the filter - if I tell you this was my "best" out of 9 attempts I think that'll tell you something As well as being quite ugly, it has minimal airflow - I don't think an ESC fan would be able to pull any fresh air through it

I also tried forming my last bit of aluminium body repair mesh & that split & tore everywhere ... I think the best way to fill that hole is going to be a bit of mesh fixed to the inside of the bonnet ... unless you want one that just fills the hole & doesn't admit any air at all - I'm sure I could make something quite pretty then

Thanks for trying, I'll give it a try, and keep you posted. And you more than welcome to copy the sand ladders. Or feel free to improve on them...

I decided to dust this old project off, and complete it:













I must still complete the doors, and tailgate. Lights are on the cards as well...

You could do this type of air-filter .
