Default 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.

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..
