I have all ways wanted a 1/10 Willy Jeep and the gmade is to big so i am making my own it will take some time but i will try and update this thread every week. So i started by scaling blueprints of the Jeep to 10th scale and printed them to be cut out of styrene this is how far i have got so far. Last edited by Brit'sFabrication; 03-27-2016 at 05:39 AM. |

Just a quick update i think i am going to use a vaterra slickrock for the axles electronics and gearbox and use sdi propeller shafts so i can use a standard transfer case as for wheels and tyres i will use 1.55 landy wheels from rc4wd and rc4wd 1.55 dirt grabbers.

Curious to see how this turns out. I've got a MB project I need to be more on top of. Slick Willy How wide is that body at the tub? *edit* If it's not too late, you may want to consider widening the rear inner fenders to be more realistic with the 1:1. This could be super beneficial for you in fitting the shock towers without having to cut up the body. For reference Last edited by DrewHammer; 12-06-2016 at 05:37 PM. |
