Craft Day

[Stickx]

Today a brown truck drove up and left a package on my porch. It was my first scx10 I opened it up and thought wow what a nice jeep.



Then after staring at it for an hour.. I thought I would do some crafts today and give it some character.. So I made a canvas soft top, some bungees, a couple antennas on the back and a roof rack.. Now I sit and wait for the white truck to come with the winch, servo parts and some wheels..

Thanks... The past few days I have been busy with birthday parties and yard work (taking advantage of nice weather) but I was able to get some links made and put on. I had to order another set of rod ends so I can mount the upper links but the bottoms are on



And I also made a couple tow ropes and camping mats for in the basket. And added a net around the rear windows.. Not real sure if I like it though..



Tomorrow I will be tearing down the servo to put bearings in it. Then mount the steering links on I made after the servo is put back on..

Looking good man! Just wanted to say I'm loving that micro course and the micros lol

[Stickx]

Thanks.. Gonna have to build on to the house.. I have another section of the micro course.. But 4x8 is a little big for the house..lol..

Yeah I find that most wife's don't really approve of the micro scale course as a permanent fixture in the living room lol. Just sayin!

Well since I got all my links in per my "what am I doing wrong" thread.. And now that it is set up.. I decided today to put my lights in and my winch and the new bumper. She's looking good

[Stickx]

In case you were wanting to know.. The bumper is the RC4WD tough bumper, the winch is the Bulldog wireless winch and the lights are a set of twelve (others go in as soon as my lightbar shows up) G.T. power rc lights they are real simple to set up and have different functions.. I am more then pleased.

Oh yeah.. And the red clevises on the bumper are from integy

I was disappointed that the bumper did not come with any hardware nor the winch.. Luckily I had all the bolts needed..otherwise it would have been a depressing day. So lesson learned. If you buy a winch or bumper, buy all the hardware you need as well.

My warn 9.5ti winch came with all the hardware...winch plate..bolts...everything

[Stickx]

The winch came with the plate.. Just not the bolts to mount it to the bumper.. I drilled out the tiny holes in the plate to accept 3mm bolts that I had.

Got my lightbar on and wired up
