|  ScX10 UNIMOG "Wilma"
Well I was another builder who just had to have a Unimog after seeing the two that JustZach built. So I've been reading every Unimog thread I could find and this is what I've come up with......my kids have dubbed this crawler....."Wilma"  Here is a breakdown of the rig: Axial Axles (Overdriven front, XR10 chubs/knuckles/axles, Beef Toobs) One off axle truss/4 link mount One off steel chassis brazed to SCX10 frame rails (5/32 solid rod) One off panard/3 link Proline powerstroke shocks Tamiya Hummer wheels Tamiya Unimog body RC4WD 1.9 Roklocs KC_JoNes light kit (x2) One off wood bed and ammo box JR 9100S Servo winch Savox Steering servo RC4WD hook and fairlead Axial light buckets One off spare tire mount Proline accessories Axial interior items I have never brazed before but thanks to all the Great info on this site I was able to get all the tools needed to begin. I started with the axle truss and was amazed at how easy it was to do......sorry no pic of just the truss. So I'm VERY bad about taking pics during fabrication so this will be a build thread done during assembly after paint! Here is the chassis I came up with...........   Then with the skid and lower links.......   |

Added wheel wells, trans/motor and side panels........  Here it is as a roller with a battery holder. That's a 3s 5000 mah battery crammed in there   Added delrin servo mount to hold the winch and steering servo.......   Here are a couple teaser shots taken during fabrication......   |

Out of all the Unimog builds I've come across this one takes the cake! Amazing tube work man.

Dude, for a cherry braze job that thing is dope! Your lines are clean and square, I love the layout and the rear end tow hook is a nice detail. Only thing I don't dig is the paint on the bed. I personally think that a natural weathered finish would have been perfect. Nice job |
