BrandO · 07-08-2006, 12:42 PM

As many of you know I have built a chassis for Unimoger. Now the tables have turned and he has built one for me. I am starting a buildup using his new bb-51 scale frame. It will be a jeep. All the normal goodies with some scale touches thrown in. I plan to top it off with a little BrandO style.

12.5 wheelbase
BB-51 scale frame
TLT axles
Pede tranny, 64pitch, w/ 45t lathe motor
Hacked Rubicon Jeep body w/ custom panels
Masher 2000s on HPI wheels w/ hand brothers rock rings
645mg servo
Aluminum 4" shocks w/ losi springs
Super Roostrer esc
JR radio and receiver
Unimoger scale goodies

So here it begins with a big pile of parts.

Now that is a pile of parts I LOVE to see ! Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

T_Boy · 07-08-2006, 02:46 PM

I can't wait. This truck is going to be kick A$$ if I do say so myself. Brand0 you do some of the nicest scale rigs, and now that you've teamed up with Unimoger I think this could turn out to be the most scale truck on the site by my books.

Thanks guys, I also think it is going to be cool. I am excited about building it. Ben has a nice product. Right now I am figuring out my link lengths and all. I am trying to get everything to line up with the body. I want a scale truck but I also want it to kick arse on the trail.

microgoat · 07-08-2006, 07:34 PM

Don't worry about that, we did our homework

HaPtOAD · 07-08-2006, 07:41 PM

Can't wait see it done.

EMUTT · 07-08-2006, 08:03 PM

Is it dun yet?

BrandO · 07-08-2006, 08:22 PM

It's actually a roller minus 2 upper links. I plan on making them tomorrow. Then it will be time to start measuring and figuring. I have some ideas in my head on what I want. I will post some pics when it starts to look like something.

smokinubyrc · 07-08-2006, 09:07 PM

looking foward to it brand0 hope this truck looks as good as the tuber jeeps you use to make

1BadJeepBruiser · 07-08-2006, 10:06 PM

Well it's a roller. It's painfully obvious that I need some spacers. I wanted to keep the track width narrow. But the tires rub everything the way it is now. Got some on order from the crawler store. Here are the pics.

smokinubyrc · 07-09-2006, 01:32 PM

if u nerrowd the wheels i dont think it will rub as bad

Ya, I have been sitting here all day looking at it. I have gone over all the different things I could do. Narrowing these wheels still won't give me enough spacing. I could go with Narrowed Stampede wheels. But I really liked the looks of these HPI wheels.

smokinubyrc · 07-09-2006, 01:51 PM

i will sell you my crawler store widners 20 shipped use once i dont hink you could even tell but

try moving the links to the inside of the link mount on the axle that will give you almsot a centameter

Unimoger · 07-09-2006, 01:56 PM

looks really good BrandO, I have the same rims and I double narrowed mine and bent the lower links in a bit to give more clearence.
