Thx!

I cant read german either, luckely there is translators online so you can get a grasp about what part going where, but it aint hard at all this far, it might get a lil harder from now tho.

Cool build...have a couple of questions..where did you get the body?? got a link?? is it cut or do you have to make all those cuts? does it come in a kit??? is white the only color???

Question was "what are those boxes on the back for" my me.

Cool, I always wondered if it was just a empty space for storage or if it was fuel/tools, etc...these things go cross country right?? Can't be just to run around in the contests...

great looking build so far..really like the body...didn't see anywhere that some one asked about the glue...its in a tube, so I gather its not like Tenex (cause that's in a bottle) is it like epoxy??? does it weld the styrene together like Tenex or Plastruct????

Haha!

For those who run desert races like dakar and such its used for storage, like tools, spare wheels and ladies!


As for the glue, its a lexan glue that comes with the kit, its thicker then tenax or plastruct but i think it works in the same way, but this also fills gaps. I really like it. Dont know if it also welds but the plastic gets a little "softer" when you have glue on it so it could be that way. hard to tell, but it feels very strong in the bonds.

This should be a fun build. Look forward to watching..

[G-crawler]

I got started on the interior today, its not done yet but its a start.

[Cagepasser]

Looking good!

[Red-F150]

looking good ..subscribed

next build will be a 6x6 so will be watching

[G-crawler]

Thanks guys!

I got a start on the chassis, its roughly cut for now, i also started to mount the axles but got more work to do. Chassis will sit about 5-10mm higher later on.

[rcjeepbuilder]

That rear suspension looks great!! Keep it up!

[fixed13]

This is looking great, thanks for the link to the German website. I may have to build one of those someday, I kinda like that kit idea for the body, looks like loads of fun. Was the interior included in the kit or is that custom?


As a side not for all those asking about translations..........maybe not all but my computer has a translate tab in a drop down box if you right click on a page with a different language. It worked in the "shop" for this kit.

[bmx_ican92]

Looks Great!
