Nice job! How Is the engine "Fracture V8" held in place? Are you going to be able to put the front cover and fan on the engine?

Sweet, looks like that'll be a lot of fun! Always wanted to see that v8 in a build. Looks right at home!

Looking good! The Fracture does fit the 1/6th Jeep pretty well, I always thought they were too big for the scale they were sold as. Hit Ebay for a driver. Sometimes I just search "1/6th scale" and see what pops up. You can get more specific by searching "1/6th headsculpt" lots of bodies will pop up along with heads. My driver was custom assembled and purchased from 3 different vendors. If you look around you can come up with "someone" unique for your build... |

Wow I had to go back and pull this thread out from the archives. After 6 months of occasional wheeling I needed a few improvements, Holmes hobby hand wound 35 turn vanquish c,s and knuckles rewired with all of the electrics stuffed under the dash changed the wheels to narrow the track width. And I think Santa's got some scale goodies coming my way next week Yesterday on a test run What |
