A small change is in the works, I think it'll really help my approach angle....

That looks really cool! Does the winch hide behind the body? Those chassis tab mounts look a little small, not much room for 16 bolts to go lol

Clay, I can make anything work lol. It's designed to use 2 (exactly like my old one)

Bumper is on! Also have a bikini top in the works that I'll finish this weekend.

Old approach angle

Diggin the bumper, DEF adds to the look as well as the performance so its a win win! Keep us up to date with more crawlin pics!

Thanks boss, can't wait to do real world testing with it. My old bumper killed me on a few gates at the last scale comp.

cbp27 · 10-12-2010, 04:44 PM

That looks really sweet! Fits perfectly!

Can't wait to see the bikini top and go crawling again

Gimp · 10-12-2010, 05:31 PM

I really like what you have done.

Instead of converting mine My blue flamed Honcho I picked up a used Honcho chassis and axles and think I am going to build a Bronco like yours only hardtop version. May go snow crawler route since winter is going to hit here soon and those snow banks in yard would be excellent crawling courses.

Snow crawler sounds fun. Good luck with it

Just messing around with the macro setting on my camera. Thought I'd share...

Jimmy's view...

Bikini top will be finished up this weekend

66sprint6 · 10-15-2010, 09:15 AM

I know what your sayin bout the bumper bein more of a hinderance than help. The last bumper I built did the same thing. Im gonna reuse it tho, just move it closer to the grill. My front approach angle was sick before the bumper but I would be the tar outta the front of the truck so a bumper seemed like a smart idea. On a side note, I just got the GF's rig runnin and told her to pick a body...Bronco!

Love it!
Matt

Got my bikini top painted up. I like it. I was also planning on doing a second one for comps of either a USA/Union Jack mix or just the Union Jack (I'm 1/2 English), took inspiration from classic Mini's lol.

cbp27 · 10-18-2010, 12:33 AM

That bikini top looks great! haha Always a nice clean job.
I like both flag designs. Maybe we can go crawling this weekend?
