That looks good! How well does it handle with the die-cast body?

[drzjohn]

Tbh I have not ran it yet. I think it will be a bit top heavy

[R.Billy Rob]

That's my concern. However, I'd be curious to see a running video. I've been interested in putting one of those bodies on mine. If it isn't to top heavy, it might make a nice scale trail rig.

That looks fantastic. Where did you pick up the donor jeep?

It is a Maisto static model I got it off ebay

How was it to mount to chassis?

[Sparks1337]

with the metal chassis and axles to balance it out it might not be too bad - overall weight isn't going to help the stock motor setup though. It looks fookin marvelous though mate, great job.

That's kinda what I was thinking too. I think I might have to pick one of these up to try it. I've already got a dual motor setup in mine so it should handle the extra weight. Worth a try at least.

It took a bit of cutting. It's held in place with 3 m3 cap heads. Not the neatest of cutting.Hope the pics explain.

Looking good! I just ordered one of these jeeps off the 'bay. So I'll definitely be stealing some ideas, if you don't mind.

I found a driver in the local £ land store today

This might be in my future!! I love what you did with that Jeep!! Very nice!

[drzjohn]

I am in the process of copying Sparks1337 motor conversion. Using a 180 motor. He was very kind to sell me his spare parts for me to make it.

Ordered a G2-18th off RPP today, maybe it'll make it here Friday. I couldnt resist, my SCX has bearing on the way and the G2 qualifies for free shipping and "DC20" coupon code; I chose to get Baja claws, so my total is $195 shipped for it with a spare set of tires.

I will be watching your progress and mods.
In regards to the heavy body; From videos it looks like more weight will help it; it appears that the suspension is too stiff, but again, I haven't received mine yet to really judge.

Yours look great with that body!

In comparison to the dirt grabbers, how well do the baja claws work in soft sand/dirt?

New motor fitted and it is 200% better. I am not liking the controller so I am going to get a micro esc and used my spectrum tx. Space is limited so I cut the rear floor and seat out. Covered it with scale chequer plate, this gives me space to mount the electrics.
