Get in a deuce & a half, wind the straight 6 as high as it will go, have it in all wheel drive and POP THAT CLUTCH!! Aside from seeing a little puff of dust behind all the tires for an inch or two, you'll notice that the brick building you're towing is still following nicely.

To the max. I haven't decided if I want to use real mud or if I should stay safe and just paint it on. :D

I still plan to scratch build a fully detailed Deuce & a half RC truck in 1/6 scale. It will have all the same numbers and markings as the one I drove.

I was licensed to drive all the vehicles from the 1/4 ton Jeep (M151A1), through the 3/4 ton, the sedan, the ton & a quarter and the Deuce & a half. I loved that thing. It was big, mean and there was nowhere it couldn't go, even while pulling the 3/4 ton trailer through the fields.

I'm guessing that's what used to be a Commo truck. (Communications, radio equipment, power generator and the like) I think this one would be called a CAMO COMMO...comma...CAMPER

I'm getting ready to get back into it, @Certified Mike and I'll be adding pics as I go. Thanks for the good info, @hamz9561. We had the ton & a quarter Dodges when I was in so I didn't have any info on these H1s other than I think they're incredible. I didn't know about the spares. Apparently...

I'm guessing this is probably a civilian conversion. I'll try to find the one I had in mind.

Well, this has been on hold for about 6 months. I was getting set up to start the interior when I did a fast search on eBay. These H1 models are almost impossible to find any more but one just showed up. He wanted $99.99 plus $22 shipping (or best offer) I put in an offer of $100 shipped and...

I AM tugging. That's why it's on hold. I'm weathering a 4' tugboat for a guy.

Be patient, it's on hold for a couple of more weeks. Interior, chassis and running gear still to come.

Speaking of "Working", I'm working on a bigger shelf. :hehe:

Thanks, @Nitro4910 The first big Humm Vee was a challenge. This one's a labor of love. So far I'm really happy with it. I've had to put it on hold for a while, but I hope to get back to it in another week or two. It just sits there calling to me. :oops:

Here's the other HummVee, and as cool as I thought those springs were at the time, this one will also be going with the big ones. https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/threads/size-matters-update-pg-13-post-302.69239/

So, here's the first rear corner with both A-arms cut down, drilled and tapped for the pivot balls and the toe link cut and re-threaded. The adjustment hex used to be centered so you can see how much had to be cut off. Something just didn't look right on the front so I made another change. I...

I'll have some pics up later but it's been another total tear down of the front and rear suspension. The A-arms are not the standard length that I used on the first HummVee but are from the new extended PRO Slayer and make the suspension 26mm wider. Well, that doesn't allow the tires to fit...

The springs serve no purpose whatsoever, other than to mimic the look that's under the real HummVee.

Okay, took a little break and now I have the latest update. More of a Re-do than a New-do, but now I really like it. I had to disassemble the suspension to start the brass frame and while it was torn down I did the repaint and some tweaking.

Technically, I QUOTED it. It was someone else's conversation. Not what I would say. Sorry to let you down.

Your father put you up to that. :mad: When he told you to write that you probably told him that it would be "Awesome".:doh:

I was in Texas when I was in the Army. I saw quite a few Armadillos. They were also armored. Well, not their armpits. I spent most of my time in an office sitting in an arm chair. I was in the 1st Armored Division.
