Default Willy's Jeep with a Wraith Skid Plate 2.0

About a month or two ago, TJ Steve offered up a Hasbro Willy's and a box of parts in the Classified section. It was an incredible parts list and was such a great deal I couldn't PM him fast enough.

So I won't bore you with all of the fine details of the actual build itself, but here are a couple of snaps I took along the way.

Thanks again Steve!

Another killer build, Bitter.

What did you fill the frame with?

I've had pretty good luck just making a tray between the frame rails for the motors and transmission to live. It's also a good spot for the steering servo
and the ESC.

Sorry I missed your question dadrab. Epoxy putty - two part, mixed by kneading it together and packing the frame rail. After it dried I went back in and pilot drilled the body mount locations and then went back and carefully hand drilled the proper sized reliefs.

Pretty much! I've got her situated properly now so I'll give her one more chance before sending her back to the kitchen to make me a sandwich!
