Ok up for your viewing pleasure today is my latest project.
This an HPI Jeep Rubicon body on a 2.5 revo chassis. I am particularly proud of this one as I built it from scratch using parts I gathered on Ebay and from some of you all here.
Enough BS on with the pics!!!! Oh as you can see it snowed here last night.
I also got a chance to run it....story at the end of post.
Parked
B4 running
On the small ramp
More
Inside from the back
The Goods
Under the hood
Ok Thats it.
I tried running this rig in the snow today....it was not fun. I was to have video to accompany this post but the rig would not run right and when it did run, my wife had mittin finger and all I got was her mitten fuzz.:thumbsup:
First the engine I had in there a picco .26 WOULD NOT START. SO I got pissed and pulled it and dually exhaust out and dropped an OS18TM with a resonator in there from one of my other rigs. It ran....oh so beutifully....for 4 minutes and then I broke a drive line connectoer....right at the wheel....never done that before. Fixed that (snow day here so just goofing off).
Then it all came to a halt when the rear diff started making funny noiseses and locked up all together.
I attribute this to my poor mechanic skills and its first time out...I MUST have left a screw out or pin or something.
Anyway back in the house and onto the bench for the whole lot.
Enjoy! the pics.
