How to Scale Body:

[run2jeepn]

Well I bought a HPI Jeep Rubi body and just placed an order with Tower Hobbies for over $100 for this thing. I aslo order one Roof rack and one rack for a spare tire carrier. I already have a snorkle and Jerry Can. Still needing to get a Hi-Lift Jack. I may try to make one myself. Don't know yet. Since I don't have time to build a TLT right now and really don't want to buy more elect's and a scale frame. I'm just making this so I can switch this over on my 2.2 Pimp Cane Leeroy for know. I now it's not perfectly scale, but should still be sweet looking and alittle more fun to drive.

Just about done with the body. I still have a few little details to paint on it. I may add another coat of Future tomrrow night.


Does anyone have an idea how to mount the rectangle RAM lights. I'm using them for Headlights.

Just got her all done. I had to just get this out of the way. Everything was just sitting here looking at me. I'll just have to stay up late working on orders. Sorry guys...I had a screwed up week. I need some Me time. I didn't get it competely done, but it runs now and one set of lights work. The 9v for the headlights is mounted in the Kayak.:lol: I'll get the other things out of the way here in a few days. I just wanted to get it running. I went with 60 V10 Crawler Motors, with Flux Rings and 13t Pinions.

Very nice job.

It looks like you have a good supply of shock hanging on the pegs.

My favorite part is the Scale Bungee Cords.

looks sweet!

but just for an idea, you spent quite a bit on the RAM lights..

i do solder led kits, mount them in aluminum,drill/bend. all sorts of stuff for fellow rc'ers.

i';ve got quite a few pics and every single customer has always came back with positive feedback.

just an idea if your ever interested, just send me a pm.

but dang, nice lookin rig!!

 

[run2jeepn]

Thats cool. I'll keep you in mind next time around.

 

[run2jeepn]

Well it's getting shipped to Italy Monday....

 

[Tweak]

Why the hell would you do a thing like that??!


Sad to see it go mate, that is hands down one of the best lids I have ever seen.

 

[BIGRed333]

My sentiments exactly Tweak. I don't think I could have let that thing go if it were mine.

 

[run2jeepn]

I have two many projects going is all. I have 2.2 Clod Tuber in the Works, Another Scale Jeep, Clod Super and 1/6th Scale Clod 6x6 CXT Tow Rig. Not counting my Stampede, E-Maxx and my 2.2 Comp Clod I have to keep maintain.

It just gives you an excuse to do another one! That is a great looking lid!
