Heres a thread with some pics of the progress so faar with my 1.9 Wrangler JK. I am not even close to completion but in the end u see some shots where i am using it but will mod it alot later on

Using CR-01 shocks in droop atm but will look for some better shocks. Also going to change the 4link from threaded rod to stainless steel ones. Atm the car sits kinda high( 30-35mm between tire wnd wheelhouse) because of the shocks being so long.

Will add comments to the pics soon.

Chassi: TCS X-Trail
Motor: 27T Tamiya
Transmission: R2HD
Transfer case: T1 Disruptor
Wheels: Topcad Alu 1.9
Tires: Rock Crusher 1.9
Axles: TLT
Body: NewBright Wrangler JK

I was looking to build a rig with wheels inside the fenders because most builds have them outside. Will most likely cut the fenders abit but redo them with tubing later on. Also adding scale thingys to it like winch and other things. Also going to do some tube work on it.

Adding plexi to the cab atm so it looks like it has windows. Havent deicided to go tinted or not.....

Anyways here´s a few more pics. And as i said before it has abit too much flex and i am using fully drooped shocks with internal springs. Gonna look for some good shocks and use springs like a real JK. Still a long way to go before i am done.....

Had massive bump steer at first but redid it this way and it works perfectly now.

As u see in this pic it sits way to high in the rear but will sort that out later on.

I have to agree. Clean and simple build that looks great.

Removed the drooped CR-01 shocks(70mm) and used Mini LST shocks instead(68mm). Works much better now and runs better in terrainaswell.

Really happy with it so faar. Using Tamiya 27 motor with 8t pinion so i dont have much wheelspeed atm but will put on a bigger pinion soon. Also the r2hd transmission + transfer case makes it go even slower. Might try with a brushless motor soon for more speed.

Here´s a few more pics of it.

There u see some of the battery.

There u see a MLST shock and batterystrap. Will make a better mount for the battery later on.

Have put on some windows on it aswell. Just need to put 2 more in the front. They are dirty in the pic and not scratchy

A pic of the flex it has atm. Looks good to me

Almost forgot to ad the Video. Well here it is.

Spent many hours in the garage today working on the front bumper. First i cut of the original one.

Then i started working on the bumper... I first wanted to make a new one from scratch but deicided i like the stock one so worked on that. Used aluminium mostly and some styrene.. Need to order a new winch since i broke the fairlead on the one i had... Will add comments to the pics later on and the pics are taken with mobile so not the best quality.

Some pics may seem that the bumper and things are crocked but they are not...

Still alot to do on it but done for today. Adding a new winch and shackles to it also maybe adding some tubing later on to the bumper.

kalin96 · 07-11-2009, 03:02 PM

dang!

that thing is ssssllllllloooowwww

AZRC · 07-11-2009, 03:04 PM

looks sweet. I just got one of those bodies and was curious about a lot of things, you answered many questions. Watching your bumper build.

cyberdog · 07-11-2009, 04:08 PM

Most ppl build new bumpers but i like the stock one so i reinforced it with alu and styrene and used that.. Very happy with it so faar. Just need to add some things to it....

cyberdog · 07-16-2009, 12:13 PM

Here´s a few pics of todays driving. Even found snow today the 16:th of july

It works really well and crawls really well for a scaler. All was good until i started driving in water and i satrted loosing traction. Turns out i had forgotten to glue one front and one rear tire to the wheel

Took them loose and are drying them now so i can glue them tomorrow.

sally1800 · 07-16-2009, 12:18 PM

man

How are you keep the mirror I brock my the first day

cyberdog · 07-16-2009, 12:38 PM

Hehe. I have rolled over a few times from 10 - 15 feet hills and they still hang on there

When they broke loose i will use tubing to put them back in place and that also allows them to flex

cyberdog · 07-16-2009, 12:44 PM

Here´s a short vid of some driving
