Jeep WK "Grand Cherokee" SCX10. Video build & shop scenes.

Jeep WK "Grand Cherokee" SCX10. RC Scaler/Rock Crawler.
Video build and scale 4x4 shop scenes.

I have been wanting to do a Grand Cherokee build for a while now but there really isn't anyone making this body style.
I kept searching on the internet and then one day while on Ebay I saw an RC toy with a Grand Cherokee body that looked like it might just work.
After it arrived in the mail and I got the body off the chassis, I noticed it It even had Tungsten filament headlights, all I needed to add was taillights.
I used an Axial SCX10 frame and transmission, RC4WD T-Rex 44 axles, tires, and wheels, a Tekin FX-R speed controller and 35T motor.
The frame is shortened at both the front and rear.
There are quite a few scale "hex bolts" used on this rig as I'm integrating more and more of them into my builds.
I also finally worked out a Velcro system to attach the body, no more body posts mucking up my scale builds.
I've been slowly getting a "4x4 Garage" diorama together for shooting build scenes and you can see it in this video.

I will get this truck out for some trail runs video soon and have many other builds in the works so make sure to subscribe!

Hey Thanks. You can see the chassis with the body off and the metal plates I fab'd with velcro in the video. Just velcro for the body attachment.
The wheelbase is 9-3/8".

Thanks. The sound effects are new for me, I like the realism it adds. Helps the imagination a little.

Thanks. I used to sell Grand Cherokees at a Jeep dealership when they were first introduced back in 1992 or so. We got to take them to an off-road test ground and I was impressed with how well they could 4 wheel.

Ebay. Search for Grand Cherokee in radio control. Save the search and have Ebay email you daily when it finds results. This body doesn't come up often, so if you see one in good shape, Buy It!
