| Bitties5Deuce G6 Budget(ish) build
So I just bought my first scaler kit and I decided to go with the Axial G6 kit. My fiancé and I own a 1:1 JKU as a daily driver that's lifted on 37's so naturally I went for a jeep. I actually bought an Axial JKU kit as well for her birthday so she could join me. After-all our JKU is technically her DD. Lol So I figured I'd do a build write up. My intentions weren't to go Vanquish crazy or expensive electronics. I do however want it to look cool and still perform well. So enjoy and of course any tips, tricks or general "Looks BA!" Comments are appreciated. List-o-parts: Axial G6 kit Electronics: Traxxas Titan 21t motor CC Sidewinder 3 esc Solar D772 servo CC BEC Flysky rx/tx 2s 5800mah Upgrades: Proline Racing Super Swamper XL's CI Dueces Wild closed cell foams Ebay knockoff RC4WD DC torque wheels RC4WD Warn winch CKRC Aluminum servo arm CKRC canvas bikini top Why not! Lol Pactra Fiery orange paint Krylon Fuzion gray rollcage Will post pics soon..... |

Sorry I haven't updated or posted pics I've been outta town working. But I have made a bit of progress. First I made a battery/esc tray for the front out of some plexi. I used two servo mounts with a small notch cut in them in order to wrap over frame rail at the front of the tray. And I used two of the stock battery tray posts to mount it at rear of the crossmember by the shock tower. |

Second I mounted my receiver box on my rear crossmember which is flipped and moved forward. |

Next I modified the stock running board/rocker guards. They looked quite ridiculous sticking way out so I just simply softened the plastic posts with a lighter and bent them in order for the boards to ride a little tighter to the body. I think they look sweet and it cost me $0 and 5 minutes of my time. Before: After: |
