| Sp3cia1-K's Goat Built Ibex Build
So a little while ago I was on the lookout for a new project to start for basically a spare parts build and a general all round fun rig to go along side my C1 Cherokee and C3 Wraith. Wasn't sure what I wanted, just waiting for something to bring it self forward... I remembered looking through a certain 1.9 Ibex build ages ago and loved how well it represented the 1:1 when it so happened to pop up in the for sale section.. A little while later a box shows up on my door... Who would have thought? It was in fact Jethrobodean's Ibex frame that was based on Harley's templates but scaled at 90% to suit the 1.9 wheels and tires. Here is his build up of the rig: Jethro's Ibex build (Harley's Plans Scaled for 1.9's) Rough parts list: - Hitec 7954 or Turnigy 30kg ti geared steering servo - Narrow XR mod scx10 axles with brass tubes up front, stock rear for now (More on that later) - Fully built trans with either ROC412 3100kv or Turnigy Mach4 13.5t matched up with MMP - RC4wd 1.9 Raceline Monsters with Treps and CI foams - Proline Powerstroke shocks for Slash Good shot of it not too long before it went up for sale taken by the MAN himself, Mr Harley! I know some people may not like the lines of the Ibex, well I do when they are done right... On to some inspiration for the build, I want it to reflect the 1:1 so I want to get my hands on some replica looking panels.. I am trying to get into contact with the people at Goat Built to be able to get my hands on some of their panel designs so I can get it re-skinned.. If I don't hear back from them I will just whip up something similar, when I get the time.. But this is the look I want for one set of panels, the other will work it self out later, maybe Tom Wayes, who knows? Last edited by Sp3cia1-K; 08-24-2014 at 06:29 PM. |

The yota front end just looks so nice... I wish I could make another front clip the same.. As the plan is to have two separate body panel sets that I can switch between, I wanted to sort out the most important body piece, the hood. So I went searching and found what I believe to be a Dinky RC hood for a Wraith. Cut a bunch of length from the cab end and clearance the front to suit the front cage work.. A bit more fine tuning and will be a perfect fit. |

NOt a real big fan of 1:1 Ibex's but this 1.9 version looks awesome. I really like the yota grill.

Next on the agenda was the axles.. The rig will be running a set of narrow xr mod axles that came off my c1 cherokee a few months ago. My c1 now runs a set of BeefedRC custom narrowed ar60 axles with beef tubes that run narrow wraith unis both sides so my old axles needed a new home.. For now the rear will be stock with the front running brass tubes. BeefedRC and I have been discussing a new axle mod specifically for the rear of this rig for some testing when some time comes around for it. My guess is though that this will eventually run a set of his custom ar60s in either xr or narrow xr.. We shall see. |

| Re: Sp3cia1-K's Goat Built Ibex Build Cool to see this thing from the other end of the web portal. Can't wait to see where you go with it. A brushless system is what it really needed all along. The hood was really not that bad to make. Was my first & could definitely be improved upon. I've still got the form on the shelf. If you want I can get you some critical dimensions if you want to try to replicate yourself. EDIT: And you take much better pictures than I do |

If you can't get ahold of Drew at Goat Built let me know and I'll try and get you the CAD images from my model so it could be reproduced as close as possible.

When you study architecture at university you sometimes don't get a lot of time to anything but all nighters on assignments.. But after submitting an assignment yesterday morning, to the shed I went! Managed to get the axles finished off and mounted to the chassis, took a while to sort the links out, I wanted to use the links that came with it but had to use some spare vp ti links for the rear uppers. Need to do a bit more tweaking for the front links but next thing is to get the wheels and tires sorted out, I'll be running the trepadors for now probably just on some steelies because I'll probably get some new tires soon which will go on the Raceline Monsters. Thinking between RC4wd Compass, Pitbull Growlers, Axial BFGs or Wildpeaks. If anyone has had an experience with them feel free to share When this gets some new tires, I'm considering doing a little cut and shut on the treps to make them c1 spec, because why not |

Not much of an update but just been doing a bit of design work for the panels, I decided I'll be painting the panels and using printable clear sticker sheets for the actual design work, hope it holds up enough but at least they will be easier to replace than full wraps. These first panels with goat built designs will be in dark metallic blue, the later panels will be crispy poison spyder theme I'm thinking |

Not my cad drawing no but I was going to do one up if I couldn't get my hands on the files. That is just the basic plan and dimension layouts image that are found on the goat built site, just edited quite a bit in photoshop to get rid of the stuff I don't want and the outlines how I want

So after putting the skins on, the panels didn't quite come out as good as I was hoping, partly due to the deep metallic blue but also the clear sections on the sheets gave a funky appearance of air trapped even though there aren't really any air bubbles.. I'll probably just make another set and trim the clear sections out instead of leaving them. For those interested, I got 10 a4 clear sticker label thingy sheets for $17. More pictures to come. |
