Bronc's c1 rig

[bronc4now]

OK so my 1st c1 and my 1st hard body so were popping cherries here folks
I started off bye ordering my ebay china jeep body i went topless because that's how i roll... kinda cheating

[bronc4now]

next picked up a rc4wd Gelande 2 and some 1.55 steelies and pitbull growlers normal build took stuff apart and added more grease to steel parts and lock tite'd it back up


added my weight to rims 2oz each

[bronc4now]

powered bye as of now
HH BRXL esc
TEKIN 35T brushed 10-64T geared 32p
stock wraith servo
3s lipo 2200mah

I had to play i mean test drive it so the wiring and battery location and esc will probably move . but i have a lot more work to the body so its just temporary.
and let talk about the body 1st we chop off crap

home boy couldnt wait for his ride to be done

[bronc4now]

2nd we put cool crap back on axial spider fenders.. but honestly next time id just trim stock fenders to look like these but it works back screws were fun to get in..


on the chassis i need to mount it and bring it down closer to frame . and figure out my esc lipo layout.

the rest is in the details and a lot more work to come

[bronc4now]

waiting to make some mounts for the body to mount to chassis so i put some stuff on.. ds pro snorkel and vanquish 6" light bar

[bronc4now]

ok so im taking my sweet time on this i guess..heres what i did ..
new rc4wd shocks arb ome 80mm well they lifted my rig i bit and im unsure about the wheel gap being to big .i could try to use limiters inside of shock i guess . But if i go back to stock i can easily adjust it right ..

ok so not happy about this but something had to give and this body had to drop down on the chassis so the hoops had to go through the back seats..
my plan put scale items over it or something ..

ok so im not makin my own stuff bgr front bumper i liked it so why not
ok so 1st problem is its made for the scx10 and rpp website pic still shows round pegs the old way bumpers used to hook up well that kinda messed up my plans but i made it work with some heavy modification
then i plastic dipped it black and she looks good


too much wheel gap whatcha think? 1.9 pitts would fill it out nice

[TrailSnail]

Some 1.9's would look good, unless you want to keep the clearance you have with 1.55's. The body looks good, does it seem to be sturdy?

Cool ..ya the body is sturdy if that's what your asking its actually not mounted to the chassis yet ..but thats next ..I plan on 4 to 6 attachment points when done..it should be good
Well once I add more weight with all my stuff it will drop some so maybe ill be ok with the wheel gap.

I keep looking at these Jeep bodies, this one looks awesome!

[mjderstine]

not bad man. but like you said, make those wired shorter, you are probably losing about a volt or two just in resistance...

You talking about my motor wire? Ya it will be shorter im planning on putting esc on servo

[mjderstine]

goog good. i figured it was just for testing since you wrote that ;)

This is looking great, I'm glad the Vanquish light bar fits! Where did you buy the Jeep body with the roll cage? They don't seem to come with that inner roll cage, just the hard top.

Ya had to tweak the vp light holder's a tad to fit..the body is from the same dude selling the china jeep hardtop just check out his store . Topless jeep has a roll cage

[bronc4now]

update.. ok added a rear bumper rc4wd new swing out i think.. and mounted body..wired up everything is under the hood went back to stock springs for adjustment.. added some black detail..led bar hooked up but still need to do the head and tail lights .. sliders next...

[benster]

nice truck, I'd keep the 1.55s. as you said, once you get it all kitted out it'll drop just right I believe.

[rcscaler]

did u make ur own rear bumper?? looks really sweet
