My new ax10. Kind regards from mexico city

[MUD BRUTE]

Hello.
I couldn´t find any forum to present myself and that´s why I use this one to do it and to show to you my AX10 Scorpion.
I´m from Mexico city and I really love everything about 4x4, in fact I´m owner of a real Jeep Wrangler TJ for which I made a lot of modifications as suspension, racks, bumpers,rock sliders anothers.
That´s why I love everything about 4x4 vehicles, specially Jeep.
Talking about RC vehicles my objective is to mount a New Bright body using the AX10 suspension and the rest of components. Obviously I would jave to make a new chasis for it.

Here some pictures of the original crawler



And here is the first test of the new body on the original AX10 chasis. I don´t like the position of the shocks absorbers, that´s why I need to make a new chasis in order to mount the New Bright body and to relocate the shocks



I´m making a set of bead locks of aluminium for mi new RC project (the first one by the way). As I told you I love to make all the accesories for my cars.






Here´s the new chasis mounted on the AX 10 chasis just by now, this is made of aluminium too. After I´ll remove the AX10 chasis and I´ll keep only the new chasis



Here the new position of the shocks:

Once y have the chasis for mi JK, some flex tests for it and I think will be necessary to remove or to cut the fenders

As I told you I have been driving 4x4 vehicles since many years ago , so I know a winch is too much necessary.

So I wont to make a servowinch , something like this Warn winch:



I used a Tower Pro metal gearing servo, powered 10 Kg.





It was necessary to make an axle and I used an old screw to do it





Verfing the assembly of the winch components:



And finally here´s the winch, painted and I make the hook and the roller too using the product wich appears next to the hook, I bought it at Home Depot.

The control winch is very easy to make:

You need a 3 position switch, a 9 V battery , a connector for the battery and the connectors male and female.





I used the same box wich appears on the previos picture of the hook and the roller winch.This plastic box has the same size that the battery

Actually I´m working about some accesories as a stinger bar, rock sliders and a roof rack for my Jeep wich I called RUBIKONG.

Here some pictures of the new accesories, they are made of aluminium and are not painted.
