Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) Hey guys, figured its time to post up my crawler - parts are on the way for my next truck so ill keep this as a build thread. The jeep was originally a trekker I had for a few months, but like the rest of my RCs I couldn't leave it stock. It's running an 80T stroker on a 500mah 2s and I couldn't be happier with the drive train munching torque - thanks again Dan :mrgreen: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...psadb7b532.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps11b1b848.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...psd27f8b1c.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...psf0370f87.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps6edae02d.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps9f610ea7.jpg Don't have much to show for the next build but it will have a set of these sweet headers (sorry it's a bit blurry): http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps4245dd5b.jpg |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) WOW! That is friggin awsome! I swear I've seen that driving down the road here:roll: Detail is really cool....love the lights...I just put some in my Hum-V body"thumbsup" |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) Im not a big fan of Jeeps... But, Damn that thing is a thing of beauty.. i love it, all the lights are perfect, the bumper is sweet. The scale accessories make it very unique, i love it, very sweet build, if you wanna help me with the light setup id be more than greatful (wiring) but if not thats fine. Nice Rig man, Diggin it. 5/5 |
That's badass. I could be interested in a set of those headers... For a v8 of course. Lol. Nice work. posted via the billboard that is a samsung note 2. |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) It's about time!!! I saw this rig in person and it is sweet. The trailer too! Awesome job man. Can't wait to see what's next! |

Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) where did u get the body? can we see the chassis as well? |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) The body is a Lindberg 1:20 scale model, you can find them on ebay along with a few other cars and trucks. Ill snap some pics of the chassis today too |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) ^ Thanks man :) here's the lower half: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps9d4aab3e.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps7b7bd154.jpg Broke the window in a rather dramatic looking tumble.. lol oh well http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps799901c4.jpg |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) Chicks dig body damage...and window breakage "thumbsup" |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) whats the wheel base? i love this rig. |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) You HAVE to tell me what you did to get this body to look and fit right? This is by far the best scale trail trekker I have ever seen, granted I did just buy a jeep so I'm a little biased. You did a killer job man! Love the color and the bumper. Lights need not be mentioned they stand on their own. And an awesome trailer to top it off! That chassis does not look stock, did you get that off eBay? And did you have to lengthen the truck? I appreciate the info my friend and again awesome rig! |

Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) could we get pics of the 4 link? i wouldlike to see how the top links are postioned on the axle! |
Awesome man thanks for the info! I really would like to keep the interior, but I'm not too skilled at fabricating chassis and parts for these thing yet. There is a "scale chassis" on eBay maybe I will try that out with this body! Awesome job dude. |

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps9cedcd1e.jpg Got some parts today for the next build so ill keep things updated. :mrgreen: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...psd8bc8c92.jpg Long travel dual rate shocks! still needs some tweaking but I like them so far. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps19615808.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...pscd77a179.jpg |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) WOW!!! What kind of rig requires that long of shock! I can't wait to see it "thumbsup" |
Is the aluminum plate for the shocks screwed in to the original bottom shock mounting location? That is genius! |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) Yes it is in the original shock mounts and Dan it my be a bit overkill buts it's gonna be sweeet :ror: |
Re: Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon) Got a bit of work done on the next build, need some putty to finish the fenders and then ill start work on the front end of the chassis. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...psdd4ac8c9.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps70c3763f.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps182d2a00.jpg |
