I dedicate this thread to my stories with my little Tamiya Suzuki Jimny ;)

Since about one year I was fascinated by the options the 500KV ROC 412 would give to Road Car based Scale Rigs like my loved Traxxas 1/16 based Nissan Titan "The Independent"

But I never really liked CC01 - and then came Jimny - affordable and technology that reminds me of my Tamiya Cup days.

What could possible go wrong.

daniels · 10-30-2015, 03:53 PM

So a kit was ordered and the build went pretty straight forward - as I wanted a car to beat hard - I only invested about 3 minutes for painting the body.

After the car was built it was clear - that for my goal to finish a RECON G6 I would need a little bigger wheels.

96mm Dirt Grabbers showed to be far to big - so I purchased a set of 1.55 Baja MTZ on Steelies that look perfect to me.

While I still was waiting for my 500 KV Tekin ROC 412 I tried a 55t.

And it didn't work for me - I had very bad results with higher than 55 Turn Motors in the past.

The correct CVD's could be found when looking for M05/M06 parts ;)

The Motor is here!

You can see a little Video here: (even if you are not on Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/stonerocker...7077826364070/

Today i also drove outside and after some testing I am now convinced that 3S will be a better choice the 2S.

It is a very smooth setup - we will see how it feels when I got more time to drive it.

With the expierence gained with my Traxxas Scaler - it was clear that belly clearance could be joker with the high drive shaft chassis.

After a lot of thinking - I finally did it and cut the lower part of the chassis away!

Biggest Bonus: Servo is now much easier to access!

What do you think?

Next up real dampers and a winch..

daniels · 10-31-2015, 08:20 AM

The clearance below the Diff is now more than on my SCX-10 with 120mm Falken tires ;)

Skeeno · 10-31-2015, 08:55 AM

Show us an underneath shot of the chassis. Did it weak the chassis?

daniels · 10-31-2015, 09:03 AM

I will provide that shot a little later! Yes it is a little weaker - but with a little reinforcements it will be good!
The car is driveable - but I fear not very stress resistent at the moment!

Nice! The last attempt of a road car at a RECON G6 failed. My TT-01 died at the Recon G6 in Erzberg.

I hope you are the first person to officially finish a recon G6 with a road car :-)

I always did like "strange" builds.
Carry on

daniels · 10-31-2015, 04:01 PM

Today the little Suzuki got a big winch!

daniels · 11-02-2015, 07:03 AM

Yesterday I installed a Tekin B1R as a Winchcontroller - my winch is now also powered by 3s.

With a final weight of well below 2000gramms the normal winch should do just fine!

daniels · 11-03-2015, 04:18 AM

Next up I will install proper shocks and LockedUpRC freespool winch upgrade!

daniels · 11-03-2015, 02:44 PM

Today i started to play around with some HPI Mini Trophy Parts.
I love the cage ☺

daniels · 11-04-2015, 01:10 AM

Hi,

I am still not sure if I will mount the cage on the body or the chassis!
Still needs some trimming anyway.

Cheers
Daniel

the-gamer · 11-04-2015, 02:58 AM

Following with interest, as I have one in ready to be built!

Will mounting the cage to the chassis help stiffen it up after the trimming of the underside? If so then I would go chassis mount, unless you have something else in mind to help stiffen it up!

Cool build, love those that think outside the box!

Ty@Tekin · 11-04-2015, 09:26 AM

I love this Jimny, nice work so far!

daniels · 11-05-2015, 08:15 AM

Hello,
Yesterday I managed to put the locked up rc commando free spool winch together!

And I am absolutly amazed by this product - perfect for my little Truck!
Cheers
Daniel

I don't see this stiffing the frame - but rather make the body less woobly.

On stiffing the frame the most simple idea would be to make "links" from the rear gearbox to old battery tray - but I would loose some belly clearance again!

Still planing ...
