| Jb17!!!
Greetings,this is 17Dean at Washroom Fab and Rc Garage Shop would like to show off our first build from the new work center called 4 DG which stands for 4 Door Garage . That will be the name of the scale garage once built. Any hoot , here is our first project called JB17. This is a Fastlane Jeep acquired from my good friend kunas !!!! Got bit by the jeep bug , I know I wanted something a tad different from all the great jeep builds that are here . But one thing I noticed is that there's not a ton of Jeep Brute builds. Grabbed a few pics , grabbed the Drimmel ,saw and went to cutting!!! Add styrene!!! And more styrene!!!! Part list as follows: HH 34t GCM Cross Canyon chassis and tcase Axial axles with OD and UD gears MIP shaft Savox Servo Ae 2 with CC BEC Pb 1-9 Growlers and CI DW foams Spectrum Rx. More pics coming shortly !!! All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Sent from my N9510 using Tapatalk |

Thanks E.. means a lot coming from you bro!! Started getting the chassis , electronics and drive train situated !! So since the majority of that is in place , I decided to get back to 4 DG , to work on the JB17. At first I wanted to do a back glass but changed my mind at the last sec !!! More progress.... Bed attached back with a half bed locking top.. Sent from my N9510 using Tapatalk |
