Coppertone Cj-7 "PIC HEAVY"

[grandbolin]

This is an old build but my first build. It started as a Revel 1/25 scale Cj-7. The drive train came from a Trail Trekker. It was my first go at brazing. Turned out decent. It is a blast to drive.



Built some flat tube fenders



Some custom bent links




The brass rear tub was not planned but the plastic got in a fight with my soldering torch.



Got the number and stinger all put together.


I did not stay with this servo set up. the loss servo quickly burnt out and I went with a Savox with a custom built steering link.


Got some primer and the new tires on. You can see in the back ground my cousin working on his TJ. He never has put a build thread on here.




Got the paint on.



Put some taillights in the rear and a custom built light bar on top.



Some trail time.



Hit some mud



Playing on the fireplace



Coming down the waterfall.



Sitting next to my Tube built Yota








Some crawl time with my cousins Tj

It was a custom mixed concoction I made. Sprayed it with my airbrush. It has held up pretty good for all the beating it has taken. The pictures of the course are pretty old. The course has doubled in size. I plan on adding a bridge and some other stuff.

Haha maybe. They are kinda like my guns. Once I buy one I never get rid of um. I need to find some sumo axles. I want to build a rock bouncer in a bad way.

That thing is frickin sweet man!!! How did you do all the measurements so that everything lined up correctly? Just a lot of trial and error or what. I would really like to build a custom tuber like this
