So the actual cb made from those tlt servo mount things all grounded down right? Thanks for the idea!

[microgoat]

Not even ground down, just turned around to the flat side. The knobs are M1.5 and M2.5 socket-head screws.

I'm glad to see he isn''t drinking and driving (alcohol) out on the trail!

Very cool build!

[microgoat]

I got the soda cans at Hobby Lobby, and they don't sell alcohol in their dollhouse department.

But the party animals in my Scout II and FJ40 are a couple of borderline alcoholics. You should see the back seat full of beer cans (wait a minute, I modeled that after my 1:1)

[Grizzly4x4]

I love this rig MG! The classic Scout paint just puts it over the top.

[Stormin2u]

Hey MG thats one trick Scout best one 800 I've seen to date with classic white with harvest gold accents. Stephan makes some really nice photo etched emblems.

[microgoat]

Does he really?

That must be why I haven't shipped it out yet

[Stormin2u]

Yeah and their great, you get the Scout script (2), the V8 emblem (2), the all wheel drive emblem (2) and a big HI (1) for the grill or hood. Best yet he gives you two full sets of all for around $25

[microgoat]

I know, I'm just yankin your chain. I've got a set coming. All the build-off rigs do, actually.

Don't be Norm, just remember these are Baller builds.

There's a trick to using Dinky Links with the BB-51 chassis. In order to keep enough vertical separation, you need to throw some spacers under the DL's and use longer screws. Then the mounting plates look like crap so a little Dremel work is required to clean 'em up.

You can also see the 3-link I made for the front suspension in the first pic, and the Axial ball ends used on the drag link.

[microgoat]

There's something bothering me about this build.

Something just ain't quite scale enough.

Let me see what I can do with it....

[Trikster]

Thanks for finally getting the word out on the mod. I didn't want to post up my rig and have people think it was my idea.
