| Scale Bronco reborn - BB-51 Style
Well I have had this chassis for to long with no build thread. I started on it a couple months ago and wanted to do a build thread when it was finished like my other recent builds but it never seems to get finished. So now that I have taken pics of what I have done so far I will hopefully finish it by this weekend for the comp. I wanted this build to replace my Scale Bronco build with more emphasis on "scale". The wheelbase is 11 7/8", trackwidth is 9 1/4". I have a new Bronco body that needs to be painted. I started off with a Montana Scale Designs BB-51 scale chassis. Then I shaved the crap out of some TLT axles. Added some Junfac TLT-1 Axle Brace Mount Set courtesy of The Crawler Store Added a chassis mounted steering servo. And then hacked up some Revolver rims and recycled some Rckjeep rock rings. |

Nice, I like the way you mounted the junfac mounts. Those shaved axles look much better. Question, is your steering fulcrum made of metal? Can't tell by the pics. Also did you just leave the screw slightly loose with a locknut on the backside of it?

And I will say it still does need some tweaking which I will do after the rig is running. | |

The axle sure looks a lot better with the srevo mount shaved off And I'm diggin' the one-headlight look, like a really beat trail rig.

Ah yes, the EB is back! and its looking real sweet already. The truck has a nice looking stance with the geos and the narrow track width. What are the plans for the new lids paint scheme?

I love how everyone likes the beat up old body. I plan to paint the new body the same way since I like this one so much. I am waiting on my flat black paint pens to arrive before I can start painting the new lid. I can't take any credit for the "broken headlight effect" since this is the way the body was left after I tore down the old Bronco. I should have taken a picture of the rear with only one tail light, you guys might really like this 'ol beater then. The rims are just over 3/4" wide (without the beadlock rings on). That steering has been done before here, I don't remember which rig it was, but I do remember how bad a$$ it was. Last edited by badger; 01-04-2007 at 10:27 AM. |
