FATALLYILL: SCX10 Cherokee build

[2.slowduo]

That looks great. I have not been out much myself lately.
I may try and go check out the local comp on Saturday

My drift care is an HPI e10. With some goodies. Aluminum motor mt, and drive shaft along with a 17turn motor
It is pretty fun

[FATALLYILL]

thanks guys.

well I went over to a buddys today and used his batteries lol it was really fun aside from the short life span of the 1900 6cells.

BUTTT, it was really cold out and my Cherokee body was flexing and cause my paint to crack apart from the body so I was kind of mad about that. But it needed touching up anyway. So for now till its warm again I'm just running the stock honcho body. It has plenty of battle scars from todays first run lol.

bleh honcho body for winter mode.

only new mod is i used fishing line to tie my body pins together in sets of two. less likely to lose them and a bit easier to remove.

Glad you got it going.

If you use Polycarbonate Spray paint as your first coat it should stop paint flaking off.

I like it. I want the Tacoma decals for my honcho

I went out to roselle with the local crawlers today and had a blast. My stock honcho went every where that those guys "built" rigs went. I was very impressed.
I would still like to weight my wheels though

i found the tacoma decals and it seems its impossible to get them anymore? but I think it looks pretty good now as is lol.

I thought about weighting my wheels but ill have to buy a new set since mine are preglued together

ohhh, not a fan of any of the land rover bodys

well i just started college today and stopped by hobbytown and got myself a charger and two 3000mah batteries (for the price of one)

I have not really been motivated to work on my Cherokee body lately. but I also do not have a dremel right now so that's mainly whats stumping my progress.
