Default Bruder Jeep TJ

Always wanted a Jeep Wrangler. Builds like Turtle's Little TJ and Ecoli's LowRider TJ (among others) are on top of my jeep list. But the Newbright TJ body is nearly impossible to comeby in my country (or it's a bit expensive), so the alternative was to... scale down.

For a fraction of the price of a 1/10 body the Bruder Jeep Wrangler was a pretty cool working platform.

Specs:
Losi MRC axles
Xcelorin 6000kv and Esc
1/16 Traxxas transfer case
1.9 Flat-Irons
Tamiya Hummer rims
a lot of brass tubes and silver solder

unfortunately I did not document the build itself so here are some pics of the rebuild after the majoraty of the metal work.

Hope you like it!!

Looks good, you should try some rc4wd 1.55 rims and i believe they offer a 3.28 baja mtz tires that would look huge on there. check the wheel and tire section out.1.5 beadlocks

Baja MTZ

those should fit the scale of your body a little better...But, it looks great already. Keep up the good work!!

Great job. How is the 1/16 traxxas transmission holding up?
