Remember me?  Well back on it full time again, Lesson 1 dont use Acrylic Enamel for painting frames.  Chips real easy and isnt worth the pain. Thankfully I got help from another crawler with a sandblaster that gave me a perfectly cleaned frame.    now begins the fun part ........ remembering how each piece has to go in  Rear area     My aluminum roof   Front shots  This wouldnt really be a Fun enough Buggy with anyone's 35T so I decided it needed a little more, for now I built a 12D I had laying around from my Oval days. Will it work ...... uhm dont know but cant wait to find out LOL! the Green will be delrin once I get tires mounted and toe set right.  HPI Gear Reduction in place    and the flip side ..... ( just waiting on a few parts to connect all the driveline up )  covered up  |

my nice little home for the wiring knowing i wouldnt have to much room to stuff a power source for my lights i decided to use a BEC unit i have. it puts out 6V and with the LED's at 3V each it works out great.   and with the interior in place ..... its all virtually out of site, side panels will close it up   windshield (still got some minor things to make)  teaser   Real  Scaled?   well more to come but Im one of those guys who watch cars going in circles so for today ......... its my Holiday |

I dont know how well it will work since the Atlas is a 1:1 gearing but for now the 12D will be fun in it. Quote:
just regular styrene for the radiator, the fins actually are in the wrong direction  . its V-Groove siding, i forgot the spacing but can measure and the frame is I-Beam shaped styrene.
