''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 I started this SCX10 2 kit in October of 2016. :shock: The build started as just a kit, The first mod was to make a straw roll cage with interior. I used hot glue for the straw joints and a Axial Yeti interior, after the cage was made I painted it black and hot glued the cage and interior to the body. Timelaspe of the SCX10 2 kit being built. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QDu236Eq68w" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Cherokee in action. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4JmN9cV0KU4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4880/...b7ddb6d9_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4881/...91bf8435_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4888/...b4b31537_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4851/...4c83c317_o.jpg |

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 In the summer of 2017 I self taught myself how to tig weld.The first welding project was to make a front bumper. I used 1/8 rod to make a tube bumper and then used a steel bar to connect the frame and welded the bumper to the chassis. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4891/...532b21dd_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4869/...0301a5f7_o.jpg The next steel addition was a rear bumper and sliders. I used 1/8 rod to make both bumpers and sliders. The sliders are welded to the chassis and the rear bumper bolts to the chassis with 4 bolts. I also got Vanquish Products shock hoops. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4833/...ed1a005c_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4914/...6fda279b_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4829/...f9d09226_o.jpg |

(Cherokee+Truggy=Chuggy) I started dissembling parts i didnt want to use and cut the bumpers and sliders off. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4807/...9fbb60fc_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4869/...ae475c09_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4815/...d77e483f_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4889/...82167c05_o.jpg |

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 Great work son. That fact that you've kept all this footage in reserve for two years is impressive. Congratulations on starting your own YouTube channel. I'm excited to see the creations you'll be building. The Chuggy deserves an epic build thread. |

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 To keep the stock Cherokee grill I first cut 3 sections off the grille and then 1 more so the finished grille has 2 lights on each side and 3 ribs between the lights. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4847/...68774d91_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4813/...1ca11d66_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4835/...8a65942c_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4829/...3fbfb665_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4827/...43f27982_o.jpg |

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 A pillars, roof x, C pillars, door bars, and rear bars added. I cut some thin steel and tacked it to the boat-sides to hold my electronics and battery.

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 More tube added to the rear frame. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4906/...ca1da902_o.jpg Pictures of it together! I added v tubes to all four shock corners and made panels out of an old white shed that got blown over in a storm and lightly ground the panels to give it a rustic look. I welded steel nuts to the chassis to mount the panels.The first time to drive the Chuggy was awesome "thumbsup" nothing like driving a chassis you personally made. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4880/...d41ded7e_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4816/...c7893705_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4820/...ca1da902_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4841/...bfdd854f_o.jpg |

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 About that Roof Line :mrgreen: So after a couple weeks of driving the Chuggy I wasn't thrilled with the roof line so I decided to cut the whole roof off and took it for a spin. The new roof I wanted to be lower and more angle. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4899/...02875ea6_o.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4899/...b53a4712_o.jpg Video Of Me Driving The Chuggy With No Roof. <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ma2gIgHbBzg" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe> https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4852/...2cd7275d_o.jpg |

Re: ''Cherokee To Chuggy'',a AMW built SCX10 2 So this whole time the chuggy has been using the stock links front and rear.
