Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG This entire build thread is incredible!!! Kudos to your perseverance in working to complete this build! It's enlightening to see how you have obtained parts. My wife and I own a condo in Nuevo Vallarta and we eventually plan on spending our winters there. So it is good information to know, how difficult it can be to get parts. Cheers, Todd |

thanks for your words, and congrats about your property that's right getting the parts was difficult and expensive, It is sad to realize that due to the actual FX rate I have to stop ordering parts, during the last two weeks Mexican peso lost almost 35% vs US Dollar. I can't afford that increase and my next RC TRUGGY project is detained, sad news for the Mexican RC community |
Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG Terrible the peso has fallen that much. Do you know anyone along the frontera that could relay packages? When I worked in Tabasco I brought things in nearly every trip. I had a Yeti380 boxed up with 2-5000mAh batteries and a charger but that last trip didn’t come. So I ended up with a Yeti I didn’t want but have used the batteries quite often. |

fortunately, I already have the parts to complete the Unimog but apparently my next project will be in pause for a long period, suddenly the RC hobby becomes ridiculous expensive |
Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG So I paint the body to be honest I am not totally satisfied with the final result I try to follow the weathering techniques explained on these videos: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CDsiLGV2KCs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0PzotQB2fVI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> But I feel that the result was like the meme expectation vs reality https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/w...c462e__605.jpg First I repair the broken body using pegatanke epoxy glue, after sanding using fine grain sandpaper I applied few coats of primer The next day I paint the cabin using Tamiya bright red color https://i.postimg.cc/d3MjWPL7/IMG-20200323-150130.jpg When the red paint was dry I applied a simple wash using Tamiya flat brown and water, then some details using game effects and model color wash, finally Tamiya flat clear https://i.postimg.cc/3NKVLvy0/IMG-20200323-215130.jpg Not the best painting work but the cab is ready so I can mount the headlights, spotlights and some interior details https://i.postimg.cc/mrp3DY6K/IMG-20200325-230740.jpg |
Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG This build is almost finished during this week I worked on the cab I installed the front spotlight mounted on the internal roll cage using zip ties, the headlights were fixed using epoxy glue, once again the "pegatanke" glue was really useful https://i.postimg.cc/8cSbQ1YC/IMG-20200325-231324.jpg I also printed some decals to complete the cab decoration My birthday is on 20th April and I love smoking weed so 420 is my number https://i.postimg.cc/Dyp7PqDK/IMG-20200327-232317.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SKXgXz2d/IMG-20200327-142959.jpg I am using this material for decals Cricut Printable Vynil It is not waterproof but will woks until I found a place to print quality stickers in my city Onge again I use pegatanke to glue the styrene interior to the cab The cab is mounted to the chassis using screws, 2 in the front and two in the sides, but I only have to remove lateral screws to remove the cab some pictures https://i.postimg.cc/Gtz9YKHs/IMG-20200327-232540.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VNyMz7MY/IMG-20200327-232452.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VLGpZtt9/IMG-20200327-232653.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/G2fTSqcw/IMG-20200327-235433.jpg I have the HeyOK Performance The Lighting Controller installed on this rig, so I going to take advantage of their features High Voltage headlights - Powershift RC Technologies Night Killer Series Big Square Light Pods Park light - none Brake - Powershift RC Technologies PST Flush Mount Tailights Forward - MyTrickRC High Power Spotlights Reverse - Gear Head RC 1/10 Scale Six Shooter 2" LED Light Bar - Amber Hazard - Always On - custom made High voltage amber headlights I am waiting for the gearhead LED Light Bar who is on the way, I just have to fabricate and braze the corresponding mounts to finally finish this project then back to the shelf due to covid-19 quarantine https://i.postimg.cc/52pS5XPh/twbt.jpg |
Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG Looks good. |
Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG I received the last part of this build Gear Head RC 1/10 Scale Six Shooter Waterproof LED Light Bar Amber During this week I build and braze the led bar mounts (sorry forgot to take pictures) I have to sand the rear cage to braze the reverse light mounts damaging the black powder coating but some paint could cover the scratches later https://i.postimg.cc/2yB1NpW2/IMG-20200404-001006.jpg 5 different lights, all working properly I am so proud of this build but unfortunately due to quarantine I can't go outside to play ANTIGACHO UNIMOG PROJECT FINISHED more pictures soon.... |
Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG unfortunately, these wheel/tire combo doesn't fit on my project anyone interested ? https://i.postimg.cc/3w40mWqm/IMG-20200419-084149.jpg I will keep the klr/m https://i.postimg.cc/j57rKYFz/uni1.jpg |

Re: ANTIGACHO BP Custom GenX/SCX10 UNIMOG Unfortunately due to covid-19 quarantine, I couldn't have the opportunity to go outside and play with my new rig, that is frustrating!:evil: meanwhile, I did some aesthetic modifications: I found an aluminum braze to modify the exhaust you don't need flux to use it just a propane torch it was difficult to hold these small parts in place before brazing but this is the final result https://i.postimg.cc/yNjjzQk8/IMG-20200511-150726.jpg I also incude a passager this figure is a little bit larger than the driver, do you think it looks bad? https://i.postimg.cc/6pw1JGYz/IMG-20200511-150556.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gJfNMwxV/IMG-20200511-150648.jpg |
