Run2jeepns 1.9'er Trail Rig

[run2jeepn]

I just now got my Kit in today... It's about time. I've been waiting almost a month to come in from China....:eek:

This is going to be an easy build here. Nothing to special. Using Rc4wd 1.9 Tomahawks, HPI wheels, Pro-Line Bumpers, Roof Rack, HPI Gear reduction, 55T Venom, Small Body Lift, Very Little body work, 3Racing Winch and extra's

ooooo goody! another cc-01 build!!!

[run2jeepn]

Here are some Idea's of where I'm kind of heading with this build.... First stage of this build will be using the Stock Chassis.. The next stage later this year will be with live axles...


First Stage will look like something between these two stages of my own 1:1... First Pic's is from 10yrs ago with 33in MTR's. 2nd Pic is from 8yrs ago with 36in SX's..

[run2jeepn]

MRC Hot-Racing Shocks... Easy to mount and fit Perfect. Very easy Mod and allows for a good amount of flex for the rear axle..

Thanks...

I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with the Inner Fenders. The Tires are going to rub way to much. I also need a wheel with more of a offset. Any idea on wheels?

[tom tom]

The gear reduction works great and all, but be prepared for your car to go really really really really really really slow lol. The nice thing is that you can always pull off the gear reduction if you ever go play in the snow and sand.

well, there are the steelie wheels from rc4wd. they add about 5mm from what dr kucho said (I think it was him, or stephan). the CAC wheels are reversible so you can add offset too, most of them anyway. you could make your own offset:

I may put one of my 35T's in it... But I had this 55T sitting around..:mrgreen:

I have an extra set of HPI Wheels.. I'll see if I can do this MOD... The Steelies don't have a Hex on them. I wasn't for sure of there offset.

[dezfan]

Yup, looks like a CC-01."thumbsup"

Not with this one. I'm planning a Scale build of my 1:1 next.

[nodnarb81]

Nice start!

What are the little red o ring looking things on the end of the shocks in the first pic? Are these used to take up the slack and allow the shock to move side to side? Where did you get them?

The Red O-Rings came in the Kit.

That's a nice looking lowrider, were are the spinners?

Are those headlights off a Dodge Caravan?

I removed the Wheel Spacers. I'm going to keep the Stock track with and wheelbase. The body will be mounted about the height you see below. I'll need to open up the Fender wells just a little more....

Finished Trimming the Fenders and started the First Rocker guard...

x2! :shock: I want it.

[run2jeepn]

Just wait... It's going to get better. The whole idea of this build was Cheap and easy... A lot like a One night Stand.... OOhhh New title for thread...


Edit: New Rig is called One Night Stand...:)

[run2jeepn]

Here is the start of the Tube Fenders.. I'm going to fill the seem in with Filler and sand it smooth... Bad pic. It was taken with my blackberry..

"thumbsup"nice tube fenders

[haynesn12]

looks good. i have a cc-01 lr3 and now i am gunna get a jeep to thanks to builds like this. man these little trucks grow on you quick.

[run2jeepn]

Some Sanding down. I still need to sand it again and use a little more filler. Here and there...

Trying to choose the ride height...

#2

[Colby]

I say #1. I love the low look on a offroader. A buddy of mine has a Xj with 37 Iroks on it and a 2 inch lift from stock :shock: his suspension is almost all downtravel and it looks sweet, and in some of the videos i saw it did pretty well. So maybe do a half sprung half droop deal. Just a thought, Im still loving this thing "thumbsup"

[squatch71]

first one looks like a old willys stance...

those are some serious tires...I like em....

what do you use for body filler...just normal auto filler or is it for plastics?? I was going to use Bondo..but not sure if it will adhere.

[dezfan]

That's the coolest Caravan I have seen in a long time."thumbsup"

[ninjashadow]

i would have to go with the second chose on ride height

[tanmonster]

If the lower ride height will clear the tires then go with it. Lower body height means lower cg and more performance.

[JeremyH]

Jarod, are those the 90mm HR shocks that you have listed on your website??

Jeep is looking great!

They are the MRC Hot-Racing Shocks I have listed...

[jinspade]

sweet build.. I always subscribe for something called "1 night stand" :)

You are not alone "thumbsup"

[BGGruff]

Lookin good so far! I think I'd go with the 1st stance."thumbsup"

[crawler62]

Cool Jeep. Great build. I really like the tube fenders. Thinking about my jeep build and what I'm going to do with it. I think the tube fenders are a must. You've really done a good job. Thanks for the inspiration. 8)

Any Updates on this rig?

[run2jeepn]

Still working on it. Sold off the Tomahawks. Thinking of going with some 1.5 wheels and tires now...

Not much done. This Body work crap just takes to much time...:|

I hear ya. I'm a little over the whole bodywork thing at the moment too...

Let me know if you want help with the 1.5's.

[run2jeepn]

Yes, but this is a Budget Build. I wanted a Cheap Scaler. Nothing beats the CC-01 for price.

[run2jeepn]

I hear ya. I'm a little over the whole bodywork thing at the moment too...

Let me know if you want help with the 1.5's.

I'll be running Rc4wd's 1.5's Black Steelies, not sure what Tire yet. I'm looking for something in the 3.8 to 4in Height.

I'm Hoping these come in that size..

[pantablo]

oh, the 1.55's. That you can buy. 1.5 is a different story. should be cool with the 1.55's.
