I made a battery holder for my Jeep Rubicon kit. I figure I might as well make another one for my Jeep G6. |

I was working on my Jeep Rubicon, powder coating the wheels when the attractive mail carrier approached me with a pair of packages. I knew when I saw her I was getting my screw kit and other goodies. RC Screwz stainless steel screw kit. Parts had been trickling in until Saturday. Then a gusher hit. A plethora of RC goods arrived. Here's the cornucopia of RC goodies. To be continued ... |

Far out!!!! If you don't mind me asking, how much have you spent so far and what's your guesstimate on how much it'll cost? Nice build Trump |

I don't exactly know the cost. I just check and it's slightly over 2.3K. I think I have just about everything I need except a light controller, and some materials for my bumpers and spare tire carrier. I already have paint in my paint inventory. The costs should be less than 2.4k. Thank you for commenting. | |

A few parts trickled in before and after Christmas. Traxxas Rx box and Futaba power switch. Alloy skid plate and lights. I took a couple of days off last week and did manage to get a little work done on my G6 ride. I'll post up soon. |

| Re: Trump's BA Axial Jeep G6 build with a twist. Spare tire mount: I have been wondering how to mount a spare tire ever since reading Badger's G6 build. I wanted to run my Jeep G6 with a spare tire even though in a RECON G6 a spare tire is highly recommended, but not mandatory. Since the G6 didn't come with a spare tire I had to come up with my own method by modifying the cage. Here's a couple of pictures of the cage before any modifications. Top view: Side view: First I made a few cuts to remove the rear part of the cage: I filed down the cuts: I inverted the part of the cage that I removed and re-installed it. I filed down the ends so they will be flush against the plate I make to hold the spare tire. Top view: Side view: Looking at the bottom: So now with the cage trimmed I figure I have three (3) options. Option 1, spare tire on top of the cage (Man! this tire is huge!): Option 2, spare tire below the cage. Top view: Side view: The tire fits pretty snug. I can also use the part of the cage that I removed to further secure the tire. If I go with Option 2, I would trim the holder to look a little better. Option 3, would be to run without a spare tire. Since mounting a spare tire would change my COG, I could run without a spare. Anyways, these are the options I came up with for mounting a spare tire. I'm leaning towards Option 2.

| Re: Trump's BA Axial Jeep G6 build with a twist.
My winches arrived yesterday. I was checking out the Warn 9.5cti winch online on Warn's web site for about two weeks nearly everyday. Thinking and planning. Wondering how I could fabricate a similar winch. I thought maybe I could contract with a machinist to build a batch. Then, while browsing RC4WD, I notice that RC4WD came out with a license Warn 9.5cti winch. The timing was perfect. Here's the 1:1. Here's the 1/10 scale winch. So I ordered two. I mocked one up on the Jeep Unlimited Rubicon. I'm going to have to use a spacer because the BGR bumper is recessed. The spring on the hook works pretty good too. I think I have about 90-95% of the parts I need for my G6 build. I just have to finish my Jeep Unlimited Rubicon build first. To be continued ... |

I used to work for Warn, and I gotta say, those winches are 100% accurate in every detail. Love this build! Can't wait to start on mine!

Thank you. I figured there's a finite number of paces where to mount the spare and mounting the the spare low and centrally would help with the COG. Plus, you never know if a spare tire might be mandatory in a G6. Got to be prepared. 😀😀😀 | |||

| Re: Trump's BA Axial Jeep G6 build with a twist.
Well, now that City Slicker is done, it's time to get going on my Jeep G6 build. No time to rest on my laurels. I want this rig ready for Axialfest 2014. The first order of business was to get my indoor assembly area ready. I also had to fix my wife's hair curler. Before: And after: Now that I took care of that hair curler business, it's time to start with the axle assembly. I honestly could not remember the steps so I had to refer to my City Slicker build to remember. Thank goodness I had the steps documented. I got the rear axle completed with Locked Up RC FI spools installed. Here's a picture of how the FI Spools look installed in my Jeep JK. See more photos and a step-by-step here. I wasn't sure what to do with the diff cover. I was thinking of the following options: Option No. 1. Do nothing. Option No. 2. Powder coat it chrome. Option No. 3. Powder coat it Candy Red. For now I chose Option No. 1. I started the front axle, but could not finish because I was missing the diff clamps. This is far as I got with the front assembly. I spoke to Rob at VP and requested the missing parts. He picked up the call so no voice mail to deal with. To be continued .... Last edited by Trump1; 02-14-2014 at 01:15 PM. |

I am also wondering about a tire carrier, and pondered what you're doing as well. Very cool idea man. I'll be following closely. |
