Rckcrwlr's Axial Jeep Unlimited

[Rckcrwlr]

Came home today and saw that Santa came early



What could it be??



I have to say if the Jeep is half as good as the graphics, this thing will be nice.

[Rckcrwlr]

Finally got it unboxed...

Good looking body...



Here are some posers with Rubi

Here it is next to my Class 2 JK on the Cross Canyon on 1.9 Claws







Nice bonus is the decal sheet

Rob,
You have no idea...

First will be the wheels with RC4WD JK Wheels painted flat black or black chrome, may keep the tires or something "special" to put on.

Second will be the bumpers. RC4WD Rampage is sitting on my bench.

Of course, LED's

Change out the links...

And some king shocks

The list goes on...

Wow. That is nice . Axial did a nice job . I like the comparison to yours. Ok now i need one... Cant wait to see it with all the Rc4wd goodies. One can never have too many scalers.

...I wish the Rubicon had seats like the Wraith, where you can sit action figure drivers and passengers.....

No...I knew I shouldn't have said it that way ...I just meant a different tire... Figured you would be the one that would read into that.

I think I will try these tires first...

You know me!!

Well i just thought it was about time some new treads were coming out of the Rc4wd Stable.

[Rckcrwlr]

I started the transition...

First was to change the bumper to RC4WD's Rampage Recovery Front Bumper

All you need to do is remove the 4 screws that hold the frame supports and replace them with M3 x 10 Button Heads (I added washers but they are not needed)





Threw on a shackle and winch to check out the look...need to get another one.

[Rckcrwlr]

Next was to see what wheel/tire combo I wanted...

RC4WD JK 1.9 Wheels/Baja Claws Tires





RC4WD DC2 1.9 wheels/Baja Claws 4.19" Tires



RC4WD M/T 2.2 Sidebiters/2.2 Mud Country Tires







Surprisingly the 2.2's fit pretty well in the rear wells...

[Jonesy22]

I want the MT wheels for mine. I have them on my 1:1 Jeep and love them!
How do the 2.2's work out on it?

They are pretty tight. Articulation will be limited unless you lift the body some...

DC wheels

[Rckcrwlr]

I think I going to try the IROks on the JK wheels. I like the JK's but may make a little change to them..

[Rook82]

I think the DC2's with the stock tires would be awesome looking. I know, even though they are reported to work very well that they are "stock" tires. And many people do not want to run them for that reason. I like the look of the Sidebiters as far as wheels go as well. Tires too big obviously. Maybe with running a longer shock like the Wraith shocks it could work. I use them on one of my SCX's. I needed to limit uptravel so the tires would not get into the body. I wanted to run the body in that spot to work right with the bumpers, etc. By using the Wraith shocks, I kept the same amount of articulation, but due to them being longer. I was able to limit how far up the tires went which kept them off the fenders. I run them with almost no preload so the ride height is unchanged compared to the SCX shocks. The axle can just move down further and up less. You can usually get Wraith shocks from RPP in their salvage section for about $20. Just an idea anyways. Rig looks great!

I like the look of the 2.2's. Waiting to make another order next week.
I see you haven't changed the links yet, any idea on which ones you will use?
