I really dig that ano purple with the white body and black accents. Really looks killer and nice flex too.

Her favorite color is purple , I think it needs to be lowered a few mm , she likes the lifted look . A few details on the body need to be painted black to match her Jeep . Lights will be wired soon .

It’s a cheap SCX24 clone . You can purchase just the body , I think there’s 3 colors available.

All I did to mount the body was install it with the mount hinge X piece on the outside of the body in the rear , covered it with a spare tire carrier, Velcro on the front mount .

There is a knob for a spare on the Racent body , that was dremmeled down .
I used the Racent spare tire .

I used an aluminum RCAWD rear hinge and dremmeled that a bit to make it flat .

I am very happy it was an easy install. The tires sit perfect in the wheel wells .

A few photos of the mounting modifications. If the hinge was in the normal position the rear tires would rub on the front of the rear fender flair . I could probably mount the body lower also but the wife likes the lifted look .

Bottomed out .

The wife and I took the JLU out for its first trail run today . She drives it like a pro . A Bowhouse LCG kit , Hot Racing heat sink and Yeah racing aluminum front bumper mount was waiting to be installed at home .

I had to modify the Bowhouse LCG kit to fit the Injora 50T pro motor and a little more room was desired for the rear shock mounts, I moved the battery to the low forward of the transmission position and the ESC to above the motor. I will be adding more wiring for headlights and taillights so wanted the ESC closer to the rear hinge to run the wires into the body at the hinge point .

Installed the heat sink to keep it all cool .

I also swapped sides of the rear shocks mounts and mounted the shocks to the body mount Post hole to lower it a bit . I also adjusted the front body post a little lower.

I added 2 Injora light kits for the TRX4M to light things up , the kits fit perfect . Cut up the original battery tray to aid in wire management in the back . I need to find a relay to get them to work on and off with channel 3 .
