OHO's RC4WD Gelande II

[Oh How Original]

Grabbed a few pictures of the 'finished' product.
Strictly speaking it's not finished, still need to make some changes yet, but for the most part, it's complete.
I also couldn't resist a little group shot.
Also decided to see exactly how they compare in articulation terms.
The TF2 can articulate a bit more, but I stuck to, the lifted wheel must be in a viable position and all tyres must be firmly planted.

Here's the video, not amazing and for some reason some of the white stuff shows up blue, mainly on the Scouts shell, not quite sure why, must be a setting I have wrong or something, I also didn't have the auto focus on, sorry... Bit of a rush job to be honest as we were having too much fun just messing around
Video here, photos will be shortly, theirs going to be quite a few!

Okay here's a few pictures from today, I had waaaaay too many to upload them all so I just uploaded some of my personal favourites.
Hope you like them!

Braved the weather today to give this new servo a test, decided as I don't want to get this one soaked, I'd put this PowerHD 20kg jobby in here.
Sooooo much better, this is now my 'dry' rig and the SCX10 is my wet rig.
Pity their isn't a waterproof version of this, I will have to buy something better than the Hitec soon, it just doesn't cut it on the rocks!
I didn't take my proper camera with me today, far too windy and I just couldn't be bothered, so just grabbed a couple of shots on my way round.

And so it begins again... Absolutely not a clue what direction to go with this.
Full, van or maybe another pick up.
Going to just get the interior built up, possibly detailed and stuff first, while I try and make my mind up, although I've had it sat here for ages and still can't decide.

[new2rocks]

Lol. I'm in the same boat with mine (1st body done, second still in box) but not allowing myself to start until I "finish" a couple of other builds.

You did a good job with the Pickup Body, and I am sure once you decide on what direction to take with the new one, you will also do a good job with it.

Cheers

Got some goodies in from RC4WD today, avoided customs and it arrived 3 days quicker than the quickest ETA... Can't grumble!



I like this cage too, not too much but gives you some added protection.
Only JUST fits on my cab lol!
You'll also notice I've added the side stripes, which so far, I like the look of.

Got my window set in with the above package, so I've re-painted the surround of the sunroof and put clear in now.
I think it makes it look less toyish.

So, out on the trails today and a breakage I definitely wasn't expecting, my shock just let go entirely!

Now, I won't blame this solely on the truck, because I'm not 100% sure if it came loose and I didn't realise, or if it failed out of the blue, I do tend to check all rigs before I take them out just so I don't do damage if something comes loose, so I can't be 100% sure what exactly made this happen.

Either way here's a couple of phone pictures from the run and also of the offending part.

Oh and also fit a new grille

It happens. Thread lock is your friend.

Pretty bored today after I got back from giving the Baja some hell, so decided to put these new tyres I got on.
Only a 'cheapo' brand but purely for testing the more aggressive and pronounced tread pattern, that's absolutely fine, for £16 for a complete set of four, brand new, I figured, why not.
Hopefully my new shocks will arrive tomorrow so I can get those on and get in the quarry for a play to test the tyres out.
If they're good, I'll just flog the Dirt Grabbers, despite being much more to scale, I favour ability over looks.
The newer tyres are slightly wider but not quite as tall, I'm thinking these will counteract each other as far as arch rub goes, currently I don't get any, I'm hoping it stays that way, but time will tell!

Before.


After.


Comparison.

Gave the Baja a beating this morning, took it in it's stride of course then came home and figured why not give the Landy a run out, a couple of pictures from along the way, I won't spam you with them, just a few

Here we go, went out for a play with this yesterday and took the SJ4000 with me.
Shall apologise for the weirdly orange picture, the camera was set in full auto and as a result, seems to have made some bits of the footage orange!
It was done in clips so I'm assuming the bits in the sun for some reason made it go orange, I shall have to look into why that's happening and how to fix it for next time
Would appreciate if you guys could watch it and let me know if theirs any dodgy clips.
I had problem after problem with WMM using my DSLR, but I've had none with this so I'm hoping I'll be able to edit clips from my SJ4000 without any issues.
Feedback needed
