|  vacumn formed some new detail parts for the samurai !
Hope you like the pics. The winch isn't functional..and took way more time than I thought..but over all I like the looks of things...without adding much weight...The spare tire and wheel is light styrene paintd up and mounted, as are the gas can,both coolers inside the truck, and the winch housing..  |

Once I get some dirt, and wear and tear on the shiny plastic it will look even better. So far its been all carpet and snow banks for this body...Its dieing to get muddy and climb some deer trails and erosion canyons.

| I love it!
What did you make the cable and eyes out of? I love finding stuff around the shop to fab up little detail stuff that costs nothing!

Slash I will get a pic if you want, however... Its stock, except for moving the battery, 645 servo, extending the body mount posts with some automotive fuel line...and the tires, oh and I do have bent rear links... other than that she is right out of the box stock. other than free mods she is pretty basic. There aren't any high dollar parts under the hood !  Oh wait, I did use zipties at the top of the shock springs to load the springs up, and foam ear plugs at the bottom to reduce travel, hahah I didn't get much respect for that !

rv jim the cable for the winch is picture hanging wire from the hardware store. the hooks are just tiny brass screw in hooks with a round base on them from the hardware store also... I have been having to much fun with the way it drives, I have just been trying to make it look better. Last edited by foodstick; 02-23-2010 at 07:04 PM. |
