My SCX Cherokee

I made a new bumper, because I lost the front one. It was the proline bumper set, I forget which one. Had the little d rings on it.

Made this out of two paint sticks, and a pegboard paint brush hanger. The screw in eyes are temporary I have bolt on d rings coming in the mail.

Yeah, eventually. I'm going to put a winch in there too. Got some aluminum front end goodies coming as well. Next up is to make some axle links, I butchered the stock plastic ones to get the eye to eye length where I want it.

Still some work to do. I have to either find my roll of double sided tape, or pick up a new roll. So I can secure the electronics where I want them. I've made new plates to mount them to the chassis. I am going to attempt to make a half assed interior too. Nothing too fancy, as I don't have the time to invest.

Got lots of flex though. Thinking of using a slightly taller 1.9 tire, the axle and the steering linkage gets hung up on stuff. These tires were something I ordered from aliexpress or someplace 2 years ago. A good mild terrain tire that's pretty grippy. They howl like old bias ply tires too. Lol

Just got these killer shackles from eBay.
I dig them. They are aluminum.

Did some tinkering today. Got the aluminum knuckles and hubs in, metal lower links and messed around with the suspension. I'll charge the battery and post some pictures later.

Traxxas turnbuckles, nice small adjustment spot in the center. Shouldn't get hung up.



Put the shocks back in the stock-ish position. Lowered the shell down as well. I had the shocks connected to these lower/lift plates. Worked great before I changed links. They were just an easy fix to get an idea of where the wheelbase should be.



Aluminum chubs and steering knuckles.



My half a$$ed cms set up. Works decently. Room for improvement.

I'm toying with the idea to make a floor pan/skid plate for the bottom of this. Then I can put a figure inside of it. And a half interior. Not trying to go full scale. Just enough to make pictures look cooler.

Ordered a cms/panhard kit from eBay. Can't wait until it comes in. I'm debating going back to 2.2s for the ground clearance. Haven't totally made my mind up yet. I might get some longer bolts for the steering linkage/knuckles and see what happens if I shim it up higher.
