Default Axial Jeep Rubicon with soft top
Just got my Rubicon last week and started building it.
This has been done so many times that no one wants to see another build, so I wont post the details just the stuff I think are interesting, oh and it will be slow as I have a problem with getting parts, upgrades from abroad. I live in Greece and we arent doing so well at the moment, the banks have capital control so our credit cards are blocked.





Got it painted (Gun metal the body, flat black the grill, and made a soft top)
Will be doing the top again as I dont like it.

Looking great!
Minor detail... The right tires are in the wrong turning direction.

Found a little time free today got some things done.
Made a snorkel from alloy square rod and finished it off with plastic steel Devcon product.
Painted few things, and finished the rear of the truck.
Changed the rear links also with some alloy links I had from a wraith and adjusted the lower ones.

No problem. I always love to see when someone is getting creative and is making a car more "his" car. Not just another Rubi'....
You are putting a lot of TLC into this one. Now go out and run it

It has been running, more like testing you can say, still needs a couple of things, like fender wells, door handles, front hood lock, rims and light bar, so if I dont finish these then its not done yet.

Went to the beach and took it for a test drive, made some door handles, easy fix just cut some parts from a round like plastic tree were the wheel hubs were I think, glued some hood straps that I got off the esc that I had, these were the jumpers, you have to remove one to get the drag brake to work, also drilled some holes on one rim and installed some scale bolts but I think I dont like it.
