Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

I have been interested in one of these for a while, and noticed some people in the area have them. I was lucky enough to get a PM from Badd last week telling me his buddy jeepcj578 had one for sale, I bought it. It's artr, needs motor and Rx. I have the first of the newest line of Brood scaler motors on the way for it.

New pics and updates to come once it gets here Wednesday and I begin to make it my own. "thumbsup"

Sweet. Look forward to seeing what you do with it. Keep the webs. Gives it even more character

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

sweet,

i know you are super close, but next time we get more than 2-3 of us together you gotta come for a trail ride. the one we went on this weekend was awesome.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

The webs will rinse off during the first water crossing. :mrgreen:

Gonna have to get you guys down to Belle Isle sometime, Sellenk will tell you how awesome it is there.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

oh, i know a couple guys who have gone down there. i will def make that trip. right in richmond right?

Sellenk is working on a 1/6 sami right now.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

Yes in Richmond, anytime you want to come down let me know.

Is there a thread on Kurts sami?

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

nope. he doesn't usually do build threads. he's got some great rigs, but just drives them. i think the only build thread i hav ever seen from him is his m818.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

Yeah I have seen his rigs before, he comps with us from time to time and has brought many of them out, I like the blue and white Chevy.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

Pleas tell me your gonna let Hammer drive it???

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

Nice purchase! Interested to see where you go with it.

Next comp @ belles MJ needs to bring his along. That location is hard to beat around here.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp

There are a few things I already want to do. I need to cut the hood and hinge it. Those of you that have done this how do you secure the cowl piece afterwards, glue? The screws that hold both that and the hood on are all in the hood so once separated no screws for the cowl.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

the cowl on mine has one screw that comes up from the bottom. that works well for me.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

I will have to double check that. Need to find some good hinges.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

We used tiny hinges from the smallest craft box .... we got it at Michael's arts and crafts.
Use the stock screw for holding down the cowling.
You can hold down the hood with magnets or a little Velcro.
The battery will fit perfect against the firewall...a piece of aluminum angle bolted to the bottom of the chassis.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Re: Rowdys 1/6th Willys Jerp
 

Rowdy knows nothing of aluminum:flipoff::mrgreen:









j/k I bet a lot of cool bits gets made up for this thing.
