Ty's Super Rubicon

[Hydro-Tank]

you have a Subaru?!

[Ty@Tekin]

Yeah I have an '06 WRX, Stage 2 and it is a lot of fun. Also have an '08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X for the wife's daily rig.

I got brave tonight and chopped some material off the Rubicon...starting to look like a trail rig now! Pics tomorrow, my camera's at work.

[Hydro-Tank]

Dang! Thats sweet! Cant wait for the pictures. What did you chop off?

So you have something like this?


I want one of these subaru's. But your model is really cool as well.



But over all I would take a street bike over all of those...like a Suzuki hayabusa. haha.

[Ty@Tekin]

Yeah here's the WRX



Wrangler



Don't have very current pictures of them but they both still look the same. As for bodywork on the micro JK:





Chopped the fenders for the flat look, cut the front bumper. Going to fill the sides of the bumper in, put a stinger on it and a winch. Thinking about cutting the rocker panels off and adding sliders too..

[Hydro-Tank]

The jeep looks alot better that way. Are you going to paint the red edges?

That is one BA Subaru.

Yeah I'll repaint the whole thing when I get some time, just doing the preliminary body work before I lay down some primer. Want to make sure it's right so I don't have to paint more than I have to, not my favorite project.

Thanks

Hey, you might want to take the licenece plate picture out.
I have heard people can use your numbers and stuff to track down your subaru and try to steal it. Like they can track the exact location you park it. Most people black it out on paint or somthing. Dont want that sweetness of a car to be gone in the morning haha!

Painting usually dose take alot of time. But I am sure you have the skills. haha.

[Ty@Tekin]

Yeah I get lazy since most of the pics I post are on a local forum and I'm not too worried about it...I mean people see it on the car everyday!

[Hydro-Tank]

that is true haha. Are you running the stock motor in your jeep?

[Ty@Tekin]

Yep, stock motor with a B1R ESC (I picked it up originally with a bad ESC/RX 2-n-1.) It crawls awesome, super smooth and slow. Think I might get a LiFe pack instead of LiPo, not sure yet though.

[Hydro-Tank]

Whats LiFe?? Never heard of that.

I am running LiPo. It gives me some wheels speed when I am like high centered. I just put the trigger down and it usually gets unstuck.

Lithium Iron, the voltage is a little bit lower than LiPO but more than the NiMH stocker battery, I don't want it to be too fast.

O ok. So you have anything new yet?

[Ty@Tekin]

Not yet, ordering tires today and still trying to decide what color to paint it.

Looks good . Iwas going to use a roadripper body(we actually get them here),but decided to go the tube way instead.

RC4WD Rok Lox, also just picked up some 1/16" and 3/32" brass rod so I can start on the stinger, sliders and roof rack setup!

[Hydro-Tank]

Awesome! You still going to run the stock wheels?

[Ty@Tekin]
