Default X Trail Bronco

Tons of pics. Kinda in Chronological order. Not the most scale thing in the world, but I spent alot of time on it. I know I cant exactly impress you guys with it when Microgoat and Excesivefire still build, but I figured I would show you all what I have built. I just got done painting the body. The front stinger has about 15 hours worth of work, and the rear maybe 3. I will be towing a trailer w/ my brushless MT on it (incase you were curious)

Alright, details it is

RadioShack 7000MCD Leds, white are up front, in RS LED holders, powered from the batt channel, with a 220 OHM resistor for each LED. Lights in parallel
Airtronics MX3 with 4ch receiver, soon to be modded for winch control
Dynamite Tazer 12t
Integy 55t soon to be 35t
Stampede trans
WK axles
Savage and Revo ball end links
Stampede shocks
Hacked up WK batt box
Small project box for reveiver/ extra wiring
Long project box for ESC, winch control and soon headlight control

The front and rear bumpers are 3/16 solid rod. The winch mount, skid plate, and light rack are 16ga. All tig welded. The spare tire is mounted to 1/8" plate, with the stub axle welded to the 1/8" plate.

The receiver is 4 pieces of .5x.125" plate welded in a box, ground down. The drop hitch is .25" square rod, with body clips. 3mm "hitch" for a ball end to drop onto, for my trailer.

There is still alot to do. Finish wiring, cleaning up wiring, installing headlight, wheeling, etc.

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks

I love the chassis. And I got it on sale, so it was even better. The chassis alone made all the difference. I used to rock the WK with the stock chassis. Man it would get stuck everywhere! Now my truck has belly clearance for anything

It out wheels anything I have owned thus far
