KC's C2/G6 TJ BUILD... OK GUYS THIS IS MY FIRST TRY AT DOING MY OWN TUBE WORK AND BRAZING SO WILL BE INTRESTING... below is my inspiration. i came across this 1:1 and was in love.. Project: Patriot II - Page 8 - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board my nephew hooked me up with the body so the build began... the hardest part of this build in my eyes was gonna be the rear quarter elipticle leaf setup. so i ordered 3 sets of leafs from rc4wd . with a dingo rtr in hand i dissassembled and set the body on the frame. was way to long... so hacked bout .5" off of front. then hacked off the back just behind the stock shock tower cross member. once i had the chassis cut i noticed that the tranny and motor were 1- way to high to keep interior 2- to far back so i had this incling to do somethin ive seen done b4. took the tranny mount section out of a spare set of frame rails and brazed them to the underneath side of the origional rails and also slid it fwd .5" that took care of both issues i had. http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00120.jpg thats all im going to describe for now till my pics get uploaded onto photobucket. this build is going to be as close to the 1:1 as i can make it. i have a long road ahead of me...."thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" |
and she has some flex still too.. just not "too" much. i think it has just enough. dont mind the cage its only temp.. lol http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00146.jpg |
thats coming out nice. its funny you added the extra rail below the tranny, cause i just got done doing the same thing 5 min ago i'm letting it cool now, so i jumped on here..i'll subscribe to this thread so keep up the good work.."thumbsup" |

Guess it's time for this little guy for your motor, huh? http://www.castlecreations.com/products/cc_blower.html |
thats a definite possibility! |
any opinions? |
did some initial testing today to see how she would do and im really satisfied with what she was able to overtake with... well... ease really.. the rear suspension setup did great not to much give but still allowing to flex when needed. gonna get my servo upgraded and motor to a 35t and then shell be right where she needs to be performance wise."thumbsup""thumbsup" http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00290.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00288.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00287.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00286.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00284.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00279.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00272.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00266.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00263.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00260.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00247.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00245.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00242.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00239.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00237.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00233.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00232.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...n/DSC00231.jpg and no those are not rock lox.... they are 100% IROKs... booyah |

Looks pretty darn good for your first brazing! Nice job. I like the elliptical rear setup, don't see that often. Very original. I gotta get some of those its, are u switching to the prolines for a reason? |

That looks pretty cool...I dig the 1:1. The cage will be hard, but looks like you already have a good start with the bumpers/sliders/fenders. |
