|  dp's C1 local club build off rig "MY-LUX" w/ a side of Yeti
Picked up a cool little rig from Spacecase awhile back and ive decided to tear it down and give it some love. Will be doing a Hilux body and will be doing an old skool Ivan Stewart paint job like these. ..... Parts list includes: - Custom setup Axial frame w/ lotsa fab work - Bobbed and custom painted HILUX body w/full interior - YETI trans for scale appearance LCG and 2speed - Custom spur gear plate and motor mount between front shock towers INSPIRED BY TOYZUKI - BUILT SCX10 axles (leafs rear with anti wrap bar and 3link HandBros front) - S.D.I. drive shafts for scale and ultimate clearance - FRONT AND REAR KMS WINCHES - Holmes 7t Puller motor - Holmes BRXL - T.B.D. steer servo - RC4WD 1.9 beadlocks - RC4WD 1.9 MTZ MORE TO COME..... Some chassis work and a few new parts I'm pretty stoked about the Yeti trans! ! YOU CAN SEE THE TRANS MOUNTED UP AND SOME OF THE OTHER FAB WORK STARTED. ALSO THE REAR LINK PIECE TO ATTACH MY SHACKLE FOR THE REAR ANTI-WRAP BAR!! |

Had some time yesterday to get the body mounts figured out that will double as mounts for electronics/batt plate above these vertical plates i brazed in... Just some assembled axle shots and youll see the rear fenders i had to trim so i can install the rock flares.... i wasnt going to use flares but the wheels i wanna use will require that i have flares to keep my rig legal in C1! they wont look too bad when its all said and done! |

| Re: dp's C1 local club build off rig "MY-LUX" w/ a side of Yeti
I really liked the idea of the Yeti trans but it just bigger and bulkier than I want for my little C1 rig so I am going to go back to a hammer case with an axial trans mounted up front. .. Got my enduro/baja style front bumper done this afternoon gonna get the rear done tomorrow and figure out electronics tray and then get body prepped for baja paint job. .. |

Coming along going to paint tomorrow and install electronics. Had some fun with the lathe on my Icon shocks. . I think they look better! I'm really happy with my sprung rear end I have hit the look I was going for!! Battery tray and trans mounted. ... Also through some 1/8" Titanium Rod in the lathe threaded the ends and made some steering part's. .. I'm loving the stance in last pic! |

Truck is 99% done I should have some finish photos this week I hope. .. Here is a few pics of these super scale super strong SDI propeller shafts that i have been using for awhile now and have been really pleased with. .also pics of my Anti-wrap bar I fabbed up this morn. ! These are a necessity in 1:1 with soft springs and also with the torque of electric motors in 1/10. If done right they work really well and don't hinder performance. Check it out. .. SHACKLE MOUNT FOR ANTI-WRAP BAR!! |

Excellent work! Love the front bumper, minus the stinger... and the low-pro rear shock mounts. Very nice indeed.
