Default Newbright jk rubicon build

Hello everyone,

This is my second scale rig, so please bear with me as I am trying to learn

I was into RC cars, mostly 1/5ths like 5 years ago, now I'm back for scalers.

I wanted to build a scale Jeep JK to try and match my 1:1. I will post its photos later in this thread. I started out with a stock Axial SCX10 Dingo kit, well actually 2. One is for a friend of mine.
At the end of the photos you will see I have to do more stuff to match my 1:1, well in time

Some of the things I have done so far

Tekin FXR ESC and 45T pro motor
Custom made aluminum 4 link
3Racing winch
Futaba 4PL
Turnigy Servo Speed Regulator
1.9 Interco BOGGER tires.
Misc. scale accessories, some purchased, some hand made.
New Bright JK Swamp Dawg body

Now some pics of the progress.

Two finished Dingos


Tony Montana will be the driver


The first scaler I build was the Tamiya CR-01


I dont like the fast steering action, it just kills the look of the scalers. Thats why I will be using this regulator.

Progress is slow and painful



I took off the bumpers and sliders



All masked up for primer

First coat of primer , then I sanded it down.



On the chasis


Well at this point I sent the body to my auto repair shop for the paint. I want it to be a replica of my 1:1 JK so I didn't want to take any chances. I had some time to longer the chassis to fit the newbright body and also I 4 linked it.

I also cut Tony Montana's legs to fit him inside the car



Finally the body arrived



I put back the lamps



On the chassis












And for my friend we went for a Range Rover L322 body but we didn't like the looks of it. So now we are waiting for his Defender D90

thanks.

I mounted the body with velcro. In the front I used the body posts and on the back I had to make a small L shape bracket to put the velcro on. I got the idea from this forum Also I had to cut the interior to fit the transmission.

Awesome build! Nicely done!

This summer I plan on doing the same thing to replicate my White JK Rubicon.

Great pics also.
