Jethro's Ibex build (Harley's Plans Scaled for 1.9's)

[Jethrobodean]

Been fighting some motor issues, but finally got some good action in on this thing. Going 1:1 wheeling over memorial weekend, so hope to get some RC trail time in as well.

[Jethrobodean]

A few pics since I had the good camera out while doing some campground wheeling last weekend.











After these pics it spent 3 days getting thoroughly thrashed on. Panels are looking rough, & I'm starting to get the hang of the 1.9 thing. Looking forward to the Holmes event in a few weeks.

[Jethrobodean]

Well, hopefully all the bugs worked out. Both mine & it's first comp tomorrow, if it's still running at the end of day it'll be a win.

Finally fit the interior & pulled it aprt for a good cleaning



All purdied up with my new Yota / Tom Wayes tribute graphics

Looking forward to saying hello tomorrow. I like the Wayes inspired theme

Sweet looking rig. Good luck at the comp!!

[Jethrobodean]

Beat on it hard & it held up all day. Very happy with it other than I'm about sick of the treps. Love them in 1:1, not so much in 1/10. Going to try cutting them some, see how they do.


On the search for some items to scale it up a little more, & a winch with more woopow. Poor little 3R winch was not liking this heavy pig. Definitely interested in some more scale events, was an absolute blast.


Best action shot ever gotten of this thing, courtesy of the house CeWEBrity himself, Harley.

Good meeting you and glad I got to see the rig out and running. I think I have a few more shots from that little sequence but that was definitely the best one I had.

Rig looked great

[Jethrobodean]

Well, it's for sale. hate to see a labor of love go, but a certain 2.2 2 speed U4 racer cousin of Sasquatch is calling my name, along with a scale micro build.

[Richterat83]

Dude, i'm right there with you! Trying to sell my slash first but it's not going well. . . . so much want on that new rig

Hate to see it go but understood!

[Trail Blazer]

Nice build mate,well done

[Hay Ewe]

Continue to be impressed by the abilities of people on this thread
I can barely arc-weld - though never have been shown, learnt by trial and error one evening in the last centuary!

thanks

When this chassis showed up on my doorstep this morning I have to say, I was a tad excited..

[Jethrobodean]

That chassis is now better traveled than I am. Hope it serves you well, post up some pics when you get it together.

[Harley]

I really liked this truck too, hope to see the build continue on.

[Sp3cia1-K]

I shall, I'll be making a thread in the next week hopefully when I get a chance to put a few things together.
The person who made the original plans and templates did a good job at getting the 1:1 look.. What ya think Harley? Haha

Shoot me a message when you do, if I don't see it.

Just ran across this build thread. Very cool rig, I'm glad you came to join us jethro! You from Jeff city?

[Jethrobodean]

Mexico / work in Columbia.


Really hoping to see some U4RC action take off at Cosmo. In the words of the hillbilly mentor Ricky Bobby; "I wanna go fast"

[Sp3cia1-K]

As Jethrobodean no longer owns the chassis and it is now in my hands, I thought I would put a link up here to my build thread for those that are interested to see how it continues and evolves over time..
