1.9 yj-t build

[Artem]

Hi everyone.

A long time ago I've bought yj cab.
It was laying around and waiting for inspiration.
Then I saw recent black ops 4x4 yj built and decided to give it a go





Been collecting parts fr a while now.





I've bought a skid plate on ebay but it's lost on the way.. two times already)
So will do the lights until any other plate pops up. Plan is to integrate baja lights in the buckets.
They were cut and plastic insert installed, then painted gloss black.
Chip with diodes covered with nail polish mixed with isolating lacquer so it won't burn or decay

Started the roller. Wheelbase is HUGE, thinking of 4.7-inch tires)

Jager and nailpolish...what could go wrong?

Who makes those spun aluminum looking wheels? They are awesome!

I can't wait to see this finished

Runddose)
One local guy makes these wheels which are two side and direct fit to rc4wd 1.9 hubs.

Heart and seats landed. It's going to be MMP+1900kv on 3s.
Seats are just awesome for the price!



Castle wateproofed sensor with silicone... but we know what works better for the subarine!





Front lights ready.





Roller in progress. Can't find pins for the front driveshaft



Planning rocker suspention in the rear. What do you guys think about it?

Alex, thanks for pins))

Suspension is ready.

It's definately going to be 120mm tires, most likely baja claw TTC. What inserts should I take?

[Artem]

Some progress on the build
Will have to rebuild rockers for sure, traxxas aren't direct fit for this setup
Made first cuts, just to push myself to start bodyworks)

[looneybin]

Thats gonna be sick. Love BlackOps builds

[Artem]

Slowly moving forward. Got wheels. Going to use 14mm wideners not to rub chassi

[Artem]

Some progress. Chopped the frame snd started the cage

These are chinese wheels equipped with rc4wd scale hardware.

Shorten the wheelbase to ~315-317 mm, widen it and redone rockers. Turned gearbox, thought it’s going to be easier to fit interior. Driveshafts become rusty while I build it �� Finishing cab to continue the cage.

[Artem]

Nice thing)









A lot of clearance undeneath

[Artem]

Fitting test



Cage in progress

That is some ridiculous suspension travel! Very nice body too.

Thank you!


Cage is finished



All the electronics seems to fit under the hood



“Steering wheel... stolen for another project!!”

Ok, I have to make this thing alive in two days to compete at the local event. Same time I will leave it to my friend for painting. For this purpose workshop moved to the contryside, we’re on new year holidays till 9th. In two dsys I have to finish the body, install all the electronics, make bumpers, install winch.





Air intake isn’t only for intaking air, body will be mounted to the cage putting two nuts in it.



I’ve tried several front shock options and gmade seems to fit the best as they limit suspention from eating arches. But they leak! I know many people turn them upside down, isn’t an option for me. Any other way to fix?
