Great looking X-trail, they are great scale/trail rigs. Now the fun part of making all the little details!

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I worked on a rear bumper today. Here are the pieces cut waiting for paint.


HEHE. An extra little detail.


Began assembling after the paint was dry. Also added an extra brace to stiffen the chassis.



Complete with spare tire mount and receiver hitch.


Underneath shot. The hitch is removable by taking out the cross-pin.

Looks like a great X-Trail conversion. You're making me think about getting another kit just to do that!

Just get a product called Plasti-Dip and take your servo and hold it by the wires and drop it down into the plasti-dip can. completely submerge into all the way i usually let about an inch of the wire go down into it as well. pull it back up and get you a coat hanger and rap the wire that wasnt dipped around the coat hanger and go hang it outside to dry....super easy and works flawless, i do this to everyone of my servos and it works great. make sure to pull your servo horn off and put the screw back in it. you dont want to have plasti dip go down in there.

It looks like a TJ w/ a 9" long arm kit and 42s to me. The 1.9 would look like 35s IMO.
Plus around here in CO, the pavement princesses always have smaller spares on them :-P


Sweet build, kind of makes me want to do one for the sun of it.......

Ebay, plenty of people selling just the shock parts there.
Nice job dude on the Rubi, you've definitely given me a few scale ideas, thanks!

Your welcome for the pictures and thanks for the compliments. I actually tried a set of 1.9's on it and they looked too small for the body.
