Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Here's what my current plan is. https://a1-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...ff/300x300.jpg https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...37/300x300.jpg This setup, if it woks, will need a 4 link suspension. There is no room for a pan hard bar, let alone a mount. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" I'm using the same basic Hasbro body as you. Although, mine is the 2003 version, which has a hood that opens stock. The difference is, I am running the stock frame. The servo is mounted to the left inner fender. With the SCX10 frame rails there isn't room to do it that way. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" True, that's why I have to go a different route. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" I just finished up the servo mount and have it ready to be installed. I just need to remove the body from the chassis. That will have to be done tomorrow. Got some pic's. https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...63/300x300.jpg https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...3f/300x300.jpg https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...52/300x300.jpg https://a1-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...b7/300x300.jpg I'll have more done tomorrow. :mrgreen: |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Way to work it out, looks like it'll do the job!"thumbsup" |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Thanks Mike. I'll make sure it works and is strong. I've been brainstorming on a triangular mount for the upper links. It will utilize the both holes on the axle, with a slight offset to get it centered.:mrgreen: |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Servo mount done.:mrgreen: https://a4-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...07/300x300.jpg https://a4-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...1f/300x300.jpg https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...c9/300x300.jpg https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...66/300x300.jpg To me, everything looks and feels very strong. I'm now working on the axle-mounted upper link mount. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" This is what it looks like with the body on. https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...69/300x300.jpg After I get the bumper built and installed it should just blend in. Hopefully. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Looks like it will work, and by the time you get the shocks/springs in place you'll have a little bit more clearance. "thumbsup" |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Thanks for the encouragement Mike. I hope it will hold up. I just finished mocking up the upper link mount. It's kinda crude, but it should work out. Here's what I have. https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...4a/300x300.jpg https://a4-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...b2/300x300.jpg First pic is the inside and second pic is outside. The dotted lines are where I need to cut to shape it. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" It's looking great! I can't wait to see it running. Did you get your motors back yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Yes I did.😆 |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Yes, I did get the motors back and can't wait to get one installed. The link mount still needs some work. I hope to get the links made up tonight. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" so it will be ready for Sunday? |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Maybe. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" I did get the front upper link mount done and installed. It took a few attempts to get it just right, but it's done. Pic's. https://a1-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...ee/300x300.jpg https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...48/300x300.jpg https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...dd/300x300.jpg https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...ad/300x300.jpg I'm now reworking the motor/trans mount. I'm trying to put a slight downward angle towards the transfer case. This will take some of the steep angle out of the drive line. |
Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" Motor/trans mount done and in. https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...7f/300x300.jpg https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...58/300x300.jpg This shot shows the slight angle of the mount. https://a2-images.myspacecdn.com/ima...87/300x300.jpg |
