Thanks for Looking its a "Work In Progress""thumbsup""thumbsup"

[twisted]

looking good. fire extinguisher is to large, looks like a scuba tank and what ya gonna use for shocks ?

[Troublemaker]

lol fire extinguisher is 1/6 scale lol according to you its 1/4 LOL and for shocks all im using is springs lol...

[twisted]

springs are meant to control ride height.you need shocks to control dampening.for example,if you drove that truck at speed i bet it bounces alot or the body rolls over on the chassis alot.if you had some shocks with oil to control the rebound and dampening it would handle better.

as far as the fire extinguisher...it may be 1/6 scale of an industrial model but not one you would see in a trail rig. ever see a real extinguisher take up the hole passenger side on a real truck ? ;)

[Troublemaker]

nope lol then on shocks im gonna have to think of suttin and remove extinguisher and maybe put another seat lol

[phase10]

wow didnt realize WK axles filled out a nylint body so well... i have wk axles/trans and a 1/6 nylint body layin around =D you should go into detail on how you mounted that transmission.. great job man"thumbsup"

[Troublemaker]

lol thats funny but awesome pretty easy on mounting tranny just used 4 stock holes 2 in middle 1 on each side then 2 on bottom 1 on each side adn then put suport links to hold it from rocking hope that helps you out and thanks

[arow884]

make the fire extinguisher look like a giant nos tank! :shock:

nos+jeep=pieces of jeep across the entire state

[SteepJeep]

Looks awesome man! The Jeep body really sets it off."thumbsup"

[Troublemaker]

thanks steep jeep and Arow i dont thin GIant Nos tank would be good like Twisted said who has a bottle the size of the whole passenger seat(its gotta go)

[arow884]

ya i know, i was just messin around:-P

[phase10]

hey i was gettin parts together to try the same build, but all my tires seem like they would look funni, your fill out the wheel wellls really well, what tires are those your using? you know how many inches tall they are? and wide? thanks for the help, cant wait to see some more pics =p

[crunky]

cool looking ride.
as the other guys already said...
the water tower in the passengers seat is a little big.
add another seat, move that tank to the rear, rip the handle off it,
and it can be the OBA for ARB's.

[Troublemaker]

awesome ur goin for a twin lol if you figure suttin outfor suspension please let me know b/c all i ahve is springs and like TWISTED^ said theres no dampening.. the tires im using are Imex All-T's 2.2 they are 5 inches tall and 2.8 inches wide..

[HotCarl73]

"dampening" is what you do to a sponge when you put it under a faucet. "damping" is to diminish progressively in vibration or oscillation. in the army, you'd be doing push ups.:ror:

[Gula]

I think it looks good other than you r wheelbase being off a little"thumbsup"

thats a good idea.

[Troublemaker]

thanks everyone but no thanks on the OBA im just gonna get rid of the fire extinguisher prolly post it up forsale sumtime soon

[Troublemaker]

I got my new rims "BLING BLING"

[twisted]

is this the ghetto version ?

[Troublemaker]

nah i just like the "SHINE"

[twisted]

nah i just like the "SHINE"

you could polish my jeep if you want.....

[Troublemaker]

no thanks lol I got my Servo Today so all I need to do is organize the electronics and mount the battery box then all stuff will be there but it still needs work i'll try to get sum action shots ASAP but im gonna also try to complete it before I run it so Please Bare with me,Thankyou

[Troublemaker]

sry took awhile but things didn't workout as i planned so there has to be changes on this build the INTERIOR is a BIG problem so I think I have to take the scale out of this build in order to have things work b/c the interior is blocking me from mounting bat box and electronics..

[thecoolman101]

that tihg lookes good! lol, j/k"thumbsup"

[nitrosport963]

you can use wk axles in 1/6?

[Troublemaker]

sure you can ynot?

[phase10]

so you canned the project? or is it still alive? usin the chassis?

[jms222]

lookin good, cant you mod the body to make room, to keep the scale look?

[Troublemaker]

hey everyone i didnt cann the project "not just yet" ran into the holidays so money is tight for me so i have to take a break from RC until after the holidays then i will try to get things back on track.... I tried these small 3inch xtm threaded shocks in it but there just to small and stiff i only get 3 inch travel=NOT GOOD...so i have to think about things thne take action so i will try to keep everyone updated as much as i can and i would like to say thankyou to everyone that has commented on my project I appreciate it 100%... and.................HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!

[Troublemaker]

Hey everyone

[jms222]

looks good, i love the paint job, lol

[usa1man]

nice looking rig (put some longer links on the front to make your wheel base fit the body) here is a little something im working on you may remember it lol:lol:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/usa1man/6thjeep001.jpg

i just can not decide what tires to use what looks better
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/usa1man/6thjeep004.jpg

[AIPOHAKU]

Instead of longer links just lower the ride height...USe taller shock towers and squat the jeep so the WB lengthens..Then I think itll look better..Id use some wideners as well..If not then a wheel with a wider offset...I think you could make this thing look REALLY good!!

Ohh...comp cut the rear fenders too..The curve aint doing it!..

[Troublemaker]

NOT FAIR "ROCKY" you said you threw it away "you lied to me Y?


NOWAY you know that was mine and i did want it back but now i'm broke and i'm trying to build one on my own

[Troublemaker]

yeh i have junfac wideners coming to me for x-mas so....and i wll also be using axail shocks

[AIPOHAKU]

Nice!...Ever think of 2.2 Rock Crusher?

[Troublemaker]

na b/c rocl crushers are more of a scale crawling tire and im trying to go for a scale trail rig and the rock crushers are narrow i had a set on my wk/crawler bt then i sold them to 666 and now i have flat irons on my crawler.

[AIPOHAKU]

Alot of 1:1 guys run the BFG crawlers on the trail...How bout stompers then?..LOL!..They are a scale trail tire.."thumbsup"..The AllTs look good too!

[Colby]

Dude you can trail ride with any tire :roll: I say got for the crushers, put some wideners on the jeep and lengthen the links and you will be good to go Brian "thumbsup"

[Troublemaker]

nah i'm gon stick with my all-t's i always liked them b/c there big and wide and im gon throw the wideners on it and see how it stands then mount the axail shocks and thenmy wheel base should be better.It's a W.I.P (work in progress) so i'm doing what i can.

[Bestdallasfan6]

Looking good, cant wait to get some action shots!

[Troublemaker]

yeh me 2 but theres alot more work to be done to this before it's up and running I'll try my best to keep everyone updated

[bajabada$$]

well ehy there old buddy hows it hanging well ive looked it over i think u should put the springs back in it and then mount the shocks next to the spring to help out with the ride then ill paint the body for u asap and also i think u should put the interior back in and i think i have a solution for the bat box problem

[Troublemaker]

hey man wats up long time no talk and i can paint my body myself lol and for interior im gon do my best b/c i do want sum scale and bat problem ill figure that out after i get it in good rolling condition:p

[Troublemaker]

hey everyone i finally got my junfac wideners in the mail today.

I put them on and WOW it looks soo much better"thumbsup"

I also put the springs back in so i get alot of flex

I'll keep everyone updated as much as i can

[Colby]

yeah x2 brian. You need some styrene tube fenders and some diamond plate on the rear corners. Thatd be cool with a dark red almost black paintjob 8)

[Troublemaker]

[Troublemaker]

[xmikexfizzx]

[Troublemaker]

[Troublemaker]
