Default PatriotBlue- Jeep Wrangler LJ

I've been gathering parts for this for a while, it's a slow build but coming along.
Started with a Nikko TJ body and stretched it-still more work to do.



RC4WD 2 speed trans











Ssd scx10 axles


The inspiration for this build- my 04 LJ

I've always wanted to do a LJ. Nice job so far.

Steering in place



Along with driveshafts


My other little Jeep has a brushed motor and works great, but I want to try brushless. I went with a 13.5t trackstar sensored.

Great little motor. Have a few of them and they've held up great.

I think it is great. It is very smooth and has plenty of power. In low gear it has more than enough torque and low end control and will still get up to the speed of a fast walk. In high gear this thing is way too fast, a big challenge to control without flipping it over.

The tlt axles in my kids tj were needing a lot of work, so the axles from this Jeep went into his and got replaced by some ebay k44 axles. Also installed some boom racing drive shafts.

The bfg at tires didn’t seem to grip very well in the mud and snow, so I switched them out with some boom racing hustler tires. Much more grip in the wet muddy stuff. I also added a spare tire.
