| My 6th Scale M151A2 Jeep Mutt
I got my second 6th scale Its from 21st Century Toys And I really like it Its pretty bad ass I parted out my second Wraith for the axles and skid plate I like how I could use 1.9'' Rock Beasts or 2.2'' Rock Lizards or 2.2'' Badlands They are the shortest 2.2'' plus I got 5 Rock Lizards so I could have a spare Its 10'' wide by 19 1/8'' inches long With a 14 1/4'' to 14 1/2'' wheel base depending where You measure from or maybe its I'm just tired Not sure if its possible to remove the hood Cause it looks its all one piece I need to look at motor forward plates or mounts Last edited by kgb424; 05-03-2016 at 12:15 AM. |

Here is some more pics Of how far I got today I removed the front and rear axles and Dremel-ed the plastic smoove Hoping I can get some ideas from other 6th scale builders Please comment and share your ideas I figured out the chassis rails for my 6th scale Humvee Which has a totally different under carriage than the Jeep Mutt Last edited by kgb424; 05-02-2016 at 11:35 PM. |

So if I use a motor forward plate with transmission mount ?? Does that mean I also have to use a transfer case ?? Or maybe mount the motor and transmission centered in the chassis Like a TF2 or similar design of transmission And then cut out the bottom of the engine bay out So the body drops down over it maybe There ideas bouncing around in my head but nothing clicks Last edited by kgb424; 05-02-2016 at 11:50 PM. |

I going to see if I can find a used RC4WD R2 single speed transmission that the motor mounts too And read on the R2 you can change the output ratio by changing pinion gear sizes If I use a 17 tooth pinion it gives you a 4:1 ratio So if I use the R2 transmission I will need a transfer case but how do choose the out put ratio I looked on line and there is 2.18:1 .75:1 1.45:1 1.47:1 1:1 I'm leaning towards the 1:1 ratio one Correct ?? |

As much as it sickens me to think this aloud, the limited space under the model would almost work well with a MOA style of drive train. It would save the model from being hacked up to fit motor/trans/drive lines.

I spent 2 hrs looking through the archives for the 1/6 Mutt build I had seen once before, only to find something that wasn't even a MUTT. The build I had seen, showed that the builder was able to use an SCX10 trans/motor assembly that fit up into the tunnel without cutting into the body. Best I can say, is try it. If it works, it works, if not figure out a Plan B.

Thanks Mike I looked too but only found one started build and very little pictures I mocked it up with a spare set of SCX10 axles cause I been wanting a too try one I'm going to use the SCX10 axles and make a 1.9' Wraith when I get around to making some new links The Jeep and the Humvee are both too wide for the SCX10 axles even with the XR mod I also have a GCM chassis with Toyota axles and leaf springs and they are not wide enough I have seen a couple Willy's builds with the Toyota axles and leaf springs and they look good and scale I Then tried the EXO chassis and its short and not liking how the body sits on top of the EXO chassis I will use AR60 axles and if the guy with the R2 gets back to me I also found a 1:1 transfer case its about the same size as the GCM 1:1 transfer case And is very reasonably price too need to figure out some thing I seen Scalelover made a chassis and showed it with a Jeep body And it looked very similiar too the underside of Mutt I'm going to hit him up Last edited by kgb424; 05-04-2016 at 10:13 PM. |

Yeah Baby I pulled the GCM motor forward plate and the GCM 1:1 transfer case Out of my 4 Ten Chassis And the transfer case fits snugly either way you flip it and mounted some how And the motor forward plate could fit up inside the body I'm going to look for aluminum plate And fabricate my own motor plate And maybe order another SCX10 transmission I may still need to cut the hood Last edited by kgb424; 05-05-2016 at 01:08 AM. |

It should not be that hard To make motor plate The hardest parts I see is cutting the slot for adjustment of the gear mesh It needs to done cleanly and be squarely And drilling and tapping holes in the side to hold 3 mm cap screws It could be a pain in the ass with a cordless drill I don't have a drill press I could trim out the area of the body Where the motor and transmission are sitting in the earlier pictures And put the motor plate in the chassis so the body drops over it Last edited by kgb424; 05-05-2016 at 01:15 AM. |

^ doll play ...having fun with your phobia ? you've probably already scheduled for sex change surgery, b muh guess looks like a probable drive syst. but doesn't the mtr/gearbox need mount on the opposing side of the surface inside the engine bay ? or is the hood too shallow to mount it to that surface ? spill it... plus more pictures detailing oh and not all claimed 1/6 scale toy vehicles are accurate to the playscale GI Joe or similar 12" doll's. IMO even some of the 1/6 Willy's I've seen look a tad too small for a std 12" doll. But there are some that look slightly bigger, close enough. Likely some mfgr's get it closer. Even RC scaling isn't anywhere near to being accurate.. so it mostly what's pleasurable to each builder's/user's eye. doesn't matter if I think it looks stupid !? Lol ie: 8:34 - https://youtu.be/m8LqEv66gI4 dolls r 4 wussy's, dolls r 4 wussy's, dolls r 4 wussy's, dolls r 4 wussy's (remember) yer too masculine to be playing with dolls !? calling them action figures only strokes yer phobic ego btw the red headed joe looks more to scale in that hummer thang.

Your Funny Taco I love the 6th bikes That Harley and Indian Were Bad ass I seen a nice XR600 Desert Racer and a XR400 that was painted for military And I also found another set of AR60 axle trusses that I could of sent you I also found this its almost a complete SCX10 transmission If I remember that the transmission with the stripped 2 mm screws on the output shafts and they are the old style with out the thru hole for pin on the Wild Boar drive shafts And I found these HPI Diffs from a Mini Desert truck don't know why I'm keeping them Last edited by kgb424; 05-05-2016 at 10:18 AM. |

I can't find any 3/16'' X 2'' x 3'' aluminum flat stock I have to order it and the shipping is XXXXXXXX crazy Not paying it, the piece I need is a like $5.00 to $6.00 But the shipping is $15 to $18 dollars screw that And I'm better off buying another SXC10 transmission then replace the parts in the one I found And the guy with the R2 has not gotten back to me The R2 may be the answer Last edited by kgb424; 05-05-2016 at 02:55 PM. |

Yeah baby Anybody got a shoe horn I don't need to cut a stinking hood I used brute force and seperared the floor pan from the body And it has room for the motor and transmission I mocked up the tranny and motor going both ways And it lines up better with the spur gear facing the fire wall I cut out the tunnel all the way thru Going to need some custom drive shafts I figured how to add a little more horsepower and a little pick up I been keeping this Blower for awhile I kinda like it , it looks bad ass Last edited by kgb424; 05-05-2016 at 10:08 PM. |

It rained here today So I was bored and wanted to see if I could Make the SCX10 axles wide enough to fit the Jeep Mutt body I had to use my Hutchison Beadlocks cause they are the only 1.9'' wheels I got that take SLW hubs So I reversed the wheels and used the long plastic hub That comes with Axial IFD 2.2'' wheels Not sure how long the hub is But it does work to space the axle enough to fit Not sure I like it cause I don't trust the plastic hubs with the pin slots in them Still would not run hub that wide I'm going to look online |

I might have to use the AR60 axles And go with 1.9'' wheels cause I like the look And I can use the spare tire mount A 2.2'' is too big not sure I want to mount a 2.2'' spare in the bed Cause it takes up too much room I got my vintage gas can with the single handle And the gas can cap comes off Need to make a gas can holder that mounts to the bumper loop Like the scale Willy's have You know you have to much stuff If you can scratch build a complete set of stock Wraith shocks And set them at 100mm and the springs have a yellow color band I have no idea where the yellow banded springs came from Cause the other 3 sets of Wraith shocks had the red color band I have too much shit Last edited by kgb424; 05-12-2016 at 09:02 PM. |
