sweet now you need to build a tow rig

spoo76 · 02-14-2010, 06:29 PM

the yota is still street legal, i think you need to build a 1/24 or 1/25 bodied crawler to tow around

i did the 1/24th scale already, but i got a 1/20 JIMMY for a tow rig

does any one know what servo horns fit on these?

murdock · 02-16-2010, 10:15 AM

well my buddy was helping me work out the kinks with the new/used printer.

scale stickers???

Looks great, murdock! Definitely better than I thought it would(the paint anyway) So got a link to where you got the pictures of the "stickers" from? Come on now, don't be mean

Great job though, it looks better than mine I can tell ya that, but also the wheel wells of mine are smaller so I can't get the tires up in there :(

thanks.

As for the stickers i just searched: name of product sticker bundle or pack,all you have to do is use mspaint and resize them to fit your needs, and the sticker paper is officemax brand bumpersticker paper with a light layer of clear coat.

phase · 02-17-2010, 04:27 PM

looks awsome.

rcjeepbuilder · 02-19-2010, 09:34 PM

Cool build, now how about a video?

Thanks for the info! I'll be showing off some Bass Pro Shops logos ;) Showed the build to a friend from another forum who is into crawling, he said it was arguably the best Micro Crawler build he has ever seen, and this guy is tough on how he sees a Scaler, I should know by how he judges mine

Keep up that great work and looking forward to more pictures!

murdock · 02-23-2010, 12:46 PM

vid in progress just got adobe premier, figuring out all the cool little tricks

.

also the escalade tow rig is almost done and of course i had to find this

spoo76 · 02-23-2010, 02:45 PM

I have that kit, the dually is FULLY IMO
Small trucks look weird dually lol
I'm working on a 1/20 fullsize pickup dually. though i need to get my styrene skills up haha

murdock · 02-27-2010, 09:33 PM

kinda lost fuel on my "gay" tow rig lol
but.....

any one have any knowledge of adobe cs4 premiere???
mines glitching or "green screening"when i use the playback for my timeline
recently i've been using my nano to record it, what settings are ideal for playback/edit-mode ect?

i'm running win7prem with amd2 dualcore m500 2.20ghz 64bit o.s
sorry just more info is better than less

murdock · 03-29-2010, 09:26 AM

Went out the other day and got some wheeling pics.
off the curb sequence.

Curb climb!

The hood looks like crap in all the pics imo so i re-did all the steering in the front and adjusted the hood mounts, it looks/steers better now. I'll post pics in a bit.

spoo76 · 03-29-2010, 03:45 PM

looks awesome. the vid looks like it cuts out early though

I agree. But murdock, it looks fantastic, now as it always did. I still can't get over how good it looks! Quick question. For the "beadlock rings" which we all know they aren't beadlocks unless you do Wrench Head's tutorial, did you paint them with model paint, also or plastic paint whatever you used for the body? Because the black rings are getting old, I'm thinking a different color to match my build.

murdock · 03-30-2010, 11:41 PM

sand em, spray paint them fairly thick, and blow dry-ing works the best for me, no chipping yet

pigeonfarmboy · 04-04-2010, 02:53 PM

Moving this one to micro scale. This is my fav so far.

murdock · 04-12-2010, 09:59 AM
