Default New LC 70 build, WIP.

Got a start on the new build this week. Still needs engine compartment, interior etc etc. The blower is coming off and a standard manifold and 4 barrel are taking it's place. The mold for the camper shell is almost there, ready for vacuum mold soon.

It's getting there.

Is this one of those AsiaTees hard bodies? Love body and all things Yoder.

Love that Type 2 avatar, too.

Yes, it's from Asiatees. Thanks on the "Dub" here's a shot of it in the scale barn.

Where'd you score the Dub body? I've eyeballed those Maisto 1/10 Samba Vans for quite some time.

Hack up the 21 window bus and rebuilt the way you like, I also made a trailer for it too.

Small update: I got the windows cut and taped on temporary for the camper shell mold. Next up is cutting styrene for the engine compartment and interior.

LOL, I think with this one I'm going to weather it slowly as it gets rock rash from driving it.

The blower is getting tossed, going with a regular manifold and 4 barrel or throttle body. Small update: Spark plug wires, Check.

Nice shoes Norton and you already received your new hubs..Been looking at those and they are still on pre-order you must be one of the lucky ones that has connections or a least first in line....
Lc70 looking mighty nice ...I still think it needs the rust treatment..
I'll be doing rust mod soon or at least try...any tips
Peace

Looks top notch with the new engine set up. Like the new shoes too. Can't wait to see it on the trails!

Really happy with the new wheels and tires. The 1.55's look so much better. I didn't have a connection on the wheels. I ore-ordered them on the 10th and didn't even think they were being shipped yet. I will say, It's the first thing I have bought from Boom Racing and there bad ass! not only the two way design but other than Gear Head EZ-Locks they were the easiest to mount the tires on ever! As for the weathering, by the time it hit's Axailfest 2017 it's going to look like a beat outback rig. I could give you some tips to probably.

The headlights, brake lights and running lights are just the Axial simple light kit. The light bar is Vanquish and the rock lights are from Fry's electronics. I run them all thru a HeyOk high/low voltage light controller from my radio.
I do run everything on 3s though.
