Hillbilly Unimog in green

[chino63]

Finally had a couple hours to get the body mounts done. Inverted the them so they won't be seen. The bed pins are in the bed since I will probably do boat sides.



Made a couple sheet metal supports to keep it stable.



Cab cage internal support.



Here's the body mount, it was a pain trying to get it all together. Note the split in the tube, this allows the external and internal tubing to be assembled/disassembled around the body.

Can't wait to see it and fondle it.

Small update while my daughter finishes her homework.

Remade the fenders a bit wider and out of a more flexible material. This might qualify for C1 now if I put smaller tires on it.



Since I'm going with a "agricultural" theme, I made a utility type bumper. Need to get another Pintle from RC4WD.



The font bumper is not finished yet but this skid will do for now. Also installed an HPI mini trophy interior like my other Mog but changed the helmet heads for Holiday buggy heads since they look more like farmers.

Decided to get another one going but it sat as just a pair of axles for months. SWSC is coming up and I need a C2 truck so I thought I'd get this going. I will probably need to change the trans at some point, as I am currently using an HPI gear reduction and am worried about breaking the output or the gears. I was hoping the track width would be narrower since I wanted a more stock look but this is as good as it gets with these axles.

Anyhow, no build thread. Just some nearly complete pictures.

As for SWSC, this will be my C2 truck but it's no where near as capable as most others. I just want to have fun and hope to place somewhere in the middle.

Here are the specs:

Axial SCX10 chassis
Dual HR mini crawler shocks on front
Single SCX shocks in the rear
Custom modified RC4WD Yota axles fitted with 3racing portals
HPI gear reduction modified for 12t pinion (9.25:1 vs 7.4:1) for trans
RC4WD T-case
Custom front and rear 3-link suspension
Savox servo winch (front), 3racing winch (rear)
Heyok 4A winch controller
Hitec 7954SH servo
Mamba Max ESC
Integy 45t motor
Hyperion 2200 battery or 1300 (both 3s)
RC4WD Mud Bashers
Gmade 1.9 wheels
Custom exo cage
Extended Unimog bed flipped with small wheelwells added

11 7/8" WB
8.5" track width
2 3/4" center clearance
1 13/16" diff clearance
9.5" overall height
17 1/4" length

Approach angle- 80*
Departure angle- 87*
Water fording depth- DEEP!
Static sidehill- 40*
Turning radius- Horrible









Thanks for looking.

awesome its almost done, i want one too!!!
