Default ww2 willys mb

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.

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

Very cool. Should be perfect for 1.55's! The wider rear inner fenders were just suggested to make your life a bit easier with shock mounting.

What axles are you planning on running with this?
