Default Matteo's mini CJ

Well santa brought me and my son matteo some micro crawlers for xmas! We decided that they couldnt stay stock and that they needed to be a scaler..
So we bought a jeep cj model and started to cut and chop. Heres what we have now.
brass tube fenders








And a drawing of the offroad park we are also going to build.








Ill have a good bit more done to the crawler as well as the park later on this weekend..

I haven't liked a lot of the CJ set-ups on these until now. I think that looks great...tire size to body is exactly to my taste. Are you going to do more to it?

The park sketches are wonderful. Have any others? I would love to see them.

It's the 1/24 scale Revell CJ7 (once known as the "Mork and Mindy" Jeep way back when) It's now Disco'd but it's also been re-issued quite a few times ver teh past several years

Thanks Joe! Thats the exact kit I used for this build. The only thing that sucks is that huge steering servo poking out the front ..Whats everybody doing to hide them??
And Im sorry but I dont have anymore sketches to show but if I end up doing more Ill be sure to post them..

Great looking Micro, I recently built a Mini Rock Crawler Jeep and had the same problem with the servo saver, I adapted a static winch to fit and act as a cover for the servo saver. Could be worth a try.
