NB's SCX10 Rubi thread

Got bored this evening and beings i didn't have any magnets, and i found a piece of 1/4" square tubing, thought i would make a light bar. It's not mounted and I've got to paint it yet but i think it turned out alright for my first attempt. It looks to be sitting back farther than it is, it's right next to the windshield.

I'll get some pics of how I mounted mine posted in the next couple of days for you.

EDIT: Here are the pics of the chassis and body:

Finally got it milled today...hope you all like it. This was the fourth one i done. Had to find the right material thickness. Any smaller and i would have to tig it together...lol I guess next will be to utilize Hamz magnet mounting...

^^I NEED (desperately) one of those to go on my Wraith!!

Glad you like it buddy

I've been thinking about doing one for my Wraith instead of the bed cover I made, it would be a one-piece unit though. If I do one up, I'll let you know.

Nice looking roof rack, NB.

Thx bud

Looking good bro lets see some accessories in it!

Then I wanted to lift it a bit so i had a buddy make these for me. BG was put it on there by him. (Buzzard & Gator Parts...LOL)

After the lift, i needed bigger tires so the Wraith donated its set of stockers to the cause...

How thick are the lift pieces? They look really thin in the picture, but I like the taller stance it gives it.

Between the lift and the wheel widener I'm really digging the looks of that jeep. You can just about mistaken that for a 1:1

LOVE IT! That is one nice rack. Are you and your buddy going to be selling parts anytime?

Thanks Woodie, glad you like it.

The lift plates are made from 1/8" 6061 so they pretty tough.

This rack took awhile to get milled as work been a bit busy. Hope to see it slow down a bit so I can get more stuff done up.

I have a few more things to get drawn up for this rig then back to the Wraith. Once I get alot of the parts like I want them, we may make a few parts to sell.

Been away from this for awhile now, feels like forever.

Decided to drop it back down to stock ride height. Although I did like the lifted look, I grew tired of it. In the process of making the change, I decided to change the layout of the electronics. I wanted the batt pack up front and the RX box in the rear. So whilst at work the other day, I doodled this up. It fits very nicely under the body with no issues that i've found thus far, also makes recharging the packs alot easier. The actual plate looks a bit different than this as I had to relocate the lower mounting holes. How you like the NB logo?

Hope you guys like it, enjoy the pics.

Looks great, NB.

Looks fantastic!

Thx guys!

Done a few more things at the shop for it. Waiting on fasteners, no Woodie I still haven't got those. Once I get those in, I'll have a few more pics.

Done up a tire carrier for it yesterday.

Nice tire, any pics of the actual carrier?

Oh dang, it didn't load lol my bad here ya go
Ignore the eyeball at the top lol

Here it is

Working on a set of aluminum rims for it at the shop now. Hope to have those done in the near future but none to certain as to when. Not sure which tires I want to get for it though. The rims are going to be 1.9's but I want a little fatter tire than the stockers but not a set that looks like balloon tires. Any suggestions, pics would be great as well!
