very nice build, I have a question here that what is the 4 mounts that mount the sliders, is it aluminium ones or you just painted them silver? if they are aluminum can you tell me the part number and where to buy them?

nightster

Very Impressive! Excellent work with the light wiring.

Those sliders mount are aluminum but there isn't a current part number for them yet because they are not yet released Can you guess where they came from??? Starts with a V.

Thank You!

What is the total weight of your truck and are you having any temperature issues?

nissan_driver24

Current truck weight is almost right at 8lbs or 3.6kg. Since I am not done with this project yet the weight may go up a little bit. The truck has never been driven outside so I don't know about any Temp issues, that's why it still looks brand new.

Well guys and gals, I have been waiting to make this update for a while. Last night Sam from RC Rock Armor fitted the new bumper / fairlead on the Jeep and dropped in the new Quicksand winch to top it off. I am very happy with the way it looks, bumper is using the VP cms servo mount still. Now I just gotta finsh wiring more lights (chassis / bumpers) and wire up the winch and I think I'm good to go. Anyways on to the pics hope you guys enjoy them.

What did you do with the CMS.

nersik

Not a single scratch.

I'm very happy with the bumper Sam from RC Rock Armor really took care of me on this one.

If you contact Sam I'm sure he could make one for ya. Or PM me and I send you the contact info.

Not sure what you mean, it's still there

No, sir! Won't be driven outside until I consider it done.

Hi,

Looks very cool! If you want to be all in - consider the Poyson Spider stuff from KK

Can I get the vp cms setup for my curries I have 2sets one on this jeep?

Jigs

Do you have any idea on how much u spent on this rig?? It looks insane!

MaxxPain

I thought the RRA bumper mount was in the way on the VP CMS mount.

nissan_driver24

Thanks Daniel, I plan on doing scale accesories last I think.

They aren't out yet these are proto types but keep your eyes peeled they should be out soon.

Thanks, I'm not really done with the rig yet but for a price at retail should be in the $3k to $4k once it's done.

Thank You!

You are correct! BUT Sam did set me up with a modified bumper for just this rig.

Hey man I love this build.

I am currently doing 2 builds at once A SCX10 Wrangler builders kit and a Custom scaler using MRC Axles (jeepster commando) The Jeepster's killing me since everything is is going to have to be fabbed to fit it, not to a true scale. only 9.5 WB you getthe idea

But not to Hijack and back to what I like most and would like to see. Your electronics! man that is so friggin clean, I try to keep mine pretty clean my EXO terra Buggy is about the cleanest I have ever got the wiring and its still not what I would consider close to what you did.

I like the E Maxx Box and and what the other box is? Also Would love to see how you mounted Battery?

Ive got 90% of my stuff for my SCX10 build in, Pro Line scaler (love em like you do) I am runnin a the Tekin 55t FXR and would like to do the box mod you did but I need to put my batery up front . SO if you have pics of how you mounted battery please let me know.

Alo about reversing the motor, thats kind of new to me. I build for fun not Comps or anything, maybe someone can chime in on what you did or if you can do that using stock AXIAL parts, or if I need the upgraded stuff to do so. and does it interfere with Battery Placement.

DaveFL - let's see your Jeepster build. Link?

nissan_driver24

Thanks Dave I try my best to keep my wires clean as possible while having a bunch of stuff going on. The best thing to do to make wires look clean is planning where your electronics will be, shortening or lengthening wires needed excess tend to make things not look clean, while bundling wires to make sure it's easy to disconnect or clean later.

As for your build I would put the FXR and Castle BEC in the E-Maxx rx box and mounted as I did on top of the rear crossmember. I have not cut my battery plate yet to mount my battery but it will simply be placed between my front shock hoops and servo on top of the original Axial rx Box (I will post a picture of it once it is done) Also note I will be running to some people small batteries they are Thunder Power 2250mah 3S 65c Battery, so the amount of room needed is a bit less than a standard rc battery size.

I have two other box made my Traxxas and one is a Traxxas Stampede RX box which house the Airtronics RX on top of the sliders mount and the other box is a Traxxas 2wd slash RX box which houses my Tekin FXR, Tekin B1R, and a castle BEC. That is mounted vertically between the Axial RX box and front of the transmission.

As for reversing the Motor what I did is really simple and easy for you to replicate. Just take the skid plate on your truck and turn it 180 degrees around so that the motor sits on the passenger side of the chassis, transmission sits on the driver side and the pinion gear, spur gear, and spur gear cover is forward of the chassis. Then reverse the motor wires so that the polarity is the opposite of before. With your Tekin 55t you won't notice much of a difference because that motor doesn't have much rpm coming out of it as say a brushless system. Doing a transmission flip will not effect your battery placement at all.

Hopefully this all will answer your question and you get what you're looking for.

This is my 1:1 Rig, and my ideas,

Jeepster Commando needs some refresher help

Here is a link but Pics are down due to my max hosting.

Also everything I started out, I revamped and started from scratch. I had to take A Hiatus on the RC builds with the birth on our latest son.

1.5 Scale of my 1:1 1970 Jeepster not a Bullnose

I will try and get some pics up on where I am at and post them. But I may push this back a bit due to frame problems and FInish my SCX10.

Just having a real tuff time getting the tubing bent the way I need it to fit and work on the Jeepster. Im actaully thinking now I am going to draw out the frame and take it to a friend and have him CNC cut two frame rail out of solif 1/8 think metal stock, then I can braze or weld to that.

Again not meant to HIjack post!
