| My AX10 to HMMWV build
The body I am going to use, Tamiya HMMWV body. I'm going to paint it tan and throw an antenna on the rear, then find a way to mount it! I'll keep updating as I go Last edited by armycrawler101st; 11-02-2010 at 07:37 AM. |

A pic with the body resting on the crawler. As you can see, the body isn't that much smaller so it looks almost scale. But of course when I mount it, I am going to raise the body up so my tires don't hit the body as easily. |

Just painted the body a few hours ago, I'm waiting for it to dry and I can put up some pics. Last edited by armycrawler101st; 11-02-2010 at 03:36 PM. |

I like it better in Desert Tan.

Looks cool. I would look in to a scale chassis and some 1.9 tires. Proline makes some tires that would look more realistic. Post some pics of the crawler without the body from the side too. Looks like you have something going weird with your link geometry. Kinda hard to tell at that angle though.

I know what you're talking about. I had a problem with the drive shaft being too long when I put in the dig. I had to cut 2 holes and raise the rear links just a bit so it would fit. I finally just cut the male driveshaft in half and it solved the problem and I put the links back where they should have been. | |
