T3 Mini Truck...

[Alexander McGee]

I have a sort of stupid question to ask the Chief Delphi Community. I am looking for a picture of the mini truck that my team (truck town), had at nats this year. If anyone has a good picture, could you please upload it, or send it to me? Being a driver this year, i didnt have a chance to get a lot of pictures of stuff, and i'm making a little display of cool stuff from this year. See, that body was just painted, and i hadn't seen the color yet (hot-rod purple), so it was a pretty cool thing for our team this year. New colors are always fun! So, if anyone has a picture, please upload it or send it to me!

How big is your guy's mini truck. I remember seeing it for the first time w/o a person inside thinking "well, they cant fit a person in there." Then I saw a person in there, and well, ya. Does it fit thorugh a doorway?

[Alexander McGee]

Well, its not east to fit through doors, you have to have 2 doors open to get through. But, so far, we havent had any problems with it. And you can drive the thing.

[Jeff Waegelin]

I can imagine it came in handy at Nats, being able to drive it up those ramps.

[Alexander McGee]

Totally helpful. We used it everytime. That thing hauls.

[Jeff Waegelin]

I saw you guys come cruising in a couple of times. It's pretty fast when you can get it going across the open stadium floor.

Do you guys have any cad files (or anything like that) that you would be able to share?

If you can't upload them to cd.com, please e-mail them to me:

[Alexander McGee]

Uh, lol, the chances of getting that are slim to none. We modeled the truck for our animation, but its not perferct. However, the body is a 1/8 scale model of the real silverado, so the chaces of finding, or distributing a real file are nonexistant. However, i would gladlly take some detailed pictures and post them on our website.

[Matt Attallah]

if you would, please. I would like to specifically know what system do you use to turn? CV joints, U-Joints, or something totaly different...

[Wildthang111]

Is that Truck Electric or Gas powered? That thing is cool

[sanddrag]

From seeing it at the Phoenix regional, I know that it is electric and I believe it is rear wheel drive eliminating the need for CV or U joints.

And Matt, I like you're title and pic. Jeeps rule.

indeed it did. Allthough I remember at Nats after the seedings when we got worried and thought that we were going to be late, but then we ended up showing up 30 minutes early because their timing was screwed up, and because they said the wrong alliances were going first. It was so much fun partnering with you guys, but I think that we still beat you there...running. hehehe, such a cool truck.....

That is what i thought. I would like to make one, but a 4x4 one. That is what i was wondering about the joints, if it was front wheel drive...

Thanks for the comment for the pic. People tell me that I am crazy for loving Jeeps like i do, but they are probally one of the toughest vehicles out there. (Make sure you get the 4.0 I-6!!)
