| Scopedog Assault Rover
Been a really long time since I posted anything but thought I'd share the latest project I'm working on. Now I thought I was being original with running the wraith cage backwards until I saw this Dinky Jr.'s Wraith (The RAT). I decided to keep working on it as I wanted something different. The hard part was going to be keeping the interior in it due to the motor and trans being flipped. I finally wound up cutting the stock interior up and adding on to what was left. This was my first time using styrene and plastic weld. The other hard thing was where I wanted to put the battery. I wanted to keep the weight towards the front, I could have used the stock location between the shock towers but that is where the driver was going to go, it's a 3 seater. This is were I came up with to put the battery. I made a metal cross brace between the shock towers to strap the battery to and then a cockpit for the driver. I'll post up more pics later. Thanks for looking. |

Here are some more progress shots. Dinky link servo mount so the servo doesn't hit the under side of the chassis. Drivers cockpit and passengers seats put in. Slots in seat backs are for their backpack mounts to fit thru. You can also see the start of the fuel tank and jet engine made from a couple of 5 hour energy drink bottles. A better shot showing the Scopedogs. |

Got a little more done on the rover. Now it needs to warm up so I can prime and paint. Details added to the drivers cockpit. Added some details to the passenger area. Anybody see a problem running the esc where it's sitting ? Rack added to the tonneau cover. Might put some accessories in there not sure what yet. And lastly a couple shots of the fuel tank and jet engine. Not sure if I'm going to run hoses from the tank to the engine or just leave it like it is. Still got to figure out what to do about the bottom frame rails sticking out there. |
