Ty's Axial Jeep JK build

[Ty@Tekin]

So far I'm liking the Jevne plate, it feels very balanced and keeps the weight lower than having it between the frame rails up front. Still snow on the ground and I haven't driven it much at all during the build.

Dude thats sick. Now I wish I had an SCX10. I got too much in my own 1:1 rig and my wraith.

Got my spare tire from Parker and mounted it up on another Dick Cepek Gun Metal 7. Starting in on the LEDs, lots of wiring and figuring out how I'm going to accomplish the winch project. More to come!

The tail light buckets and lenses are Axial, same ones I put on my Wraith. Clean and easy to install!

cool, I already have a set - just need to make the holes and attach the screws

well actually, just need to be brave enough to make the holes in the body

Used a couple speed control grommets and mesh wire loom to run the wiring for the Rigid LED bar. Just need to solder in a switch and add a Deans plug for the 3S 900mAh LiPo I'll be running it off of.

It's the little details that really take a build to the next level. When those details actually perform a task, BONUS LEVEL status!!!

Found this nifty little box that fits my 3S perfectly so I mounted it under the driver's seat. Just barely clears the motor.

Wired in a 3A toggle switch and it's alive!

That's a sweet place for the switch man!

BuIlT nOt BaUgHT!

Started in on the LED project, so far so good! Got the head light / driving light buckets glued in place and 2 white, 2 blue and 2 orange secured in them. Silicone is drying right now, I used Permatex black. Now just to run the other 4 white LEDs and find my bumper lenses, along with put a switch in the cab for the whole light system.

[Ty@Tekin]

Most of the LEDs are in, just a couple more to go! Also need to add a switch so I can turn all of them off.

Yep, carpet test track here at Tekin. We use it a bit for load testing and inter office onroad battles.

That buggy is actually my new TLR 22-4, awesome car. I have a Mini8 too, really impressed with the way it handles outdoor tracks for its size.
