Thanx Fanatic I too have always loved the Samurai,I've had and built several.This rc build is a copy of my latest. The way the stock front frame horns curved downward was not going to work with the bumper so they got modified.. Started by tracing out the frame rail and figuring where to cut. Made some straight extensions and drop hangers. Reassembled everything,now the bumper will tuck up against the grill. (yes the over spray on grill will be fixed.. ) Last edited by 4.3 Zook; 09-20-2018 at 09:45 PM. |

Decided to add fender flares even though they were removed from my 1:1, thought they would add more definition to the model. Added inner front wheel wells also... thanx for lookin' Last edited by 4.3 Zook; 09-20-2018 at 09:46 PM. |

I wouldn't believe it was a scratch build if it wasn't for the pics.

Finally have gotten back on the Samurai build, bought a battery and the radio controller, so it's just a matter of connecting everything up. Had to figure out a way to mount and hide the battery. Hope to have a maiden run real soon. https://youtu.be/qh8VYb_mzQI Last edited by 4.3 Zook; 09-19-2021 at 06:40 PM. |

I decided it's time to not be stock. I bought new tires... ...and installed some 80mm dual rate coilovers. I annealed the main leafs (they just locate the axle)and made 12mm taller shock hoops ,drilled and tapped new mounting holes. On the rear I used the TF2 front shock towers. ...and had to cut through the bed to make room. Gained 5/8" of travel and has a better stance now. Some flex shots ,no rubbing. |
