Intro

Hey everyone I recently got into this hobby a few months ago. My current rig was a RTR Rubicon had a mishap with the body , now I have a Mojave hard body. Since I got it I have been addicted had a few "breaks" = upgrades. Now I'm at the point where I'm happy with it (still need a few upgrades).

Here is a few pics I'll post more as the build progresses thanks for looking any feedback is welcome








A few body pics excuse the mess on table


Pitbull rock beasts on gmade 1.9 beadlocks


ares pro comp 17.5T sensored motor


mmp esc/ Hot racing 90mm shocks


RadioShack 30v 4700uf capacitor plugged into battery slot on reciver


rc4wd 2 speed transmission


1/8 in steel extension I had to add so I could mount a rear bumper past the longer body


Made L brackets for battery mount same material as extension/ stock servo tactic tsx45


photo of underside when I changed bodies I needed to shorten my wb so I had to modify my existing links messed up 1 set so threaded rod for now. Also the rock sliders I had on the Rubicon but luckily they fit on mojave body. Front and rear bumpers I got from LHS.

The white plug in the photos is for my light controller it's connected to a Y in the receiver box I got the plug from an old tv I had lying around.

That's all the photos I have for now any questions feel free to ask

Hey I've made some changes thought I would post some updates

Shortened the body about 1.5 inches no more rear marker lights or the frame extensions plasti dipped the windows to hide inside, hot glued the light controllers in cab


Reconfigured my internals added a servo winch on rear cross member,installed a wireless winch controller, added a mount on either side for a pair 3s lipos, added a Y harness so I can plug in both batteries at the same time (might change), moved my esc to where battery used to be. Wires a little messy will clean up once I get a chance


Got some MIP drive shafts bought the scx10 kit but had to get the stubby male shafts to fit shorter WB


Installed CMS, panhard, 3 link, bought everything separate for cheaper only thing is that I had to make own links just got some 3/16 steel rod and threaded the ends looks cleaner than all thread, might change to 1/4 steel rod, also made a new steering link the drag link hit when suspension compressed.


I also have some wheel wells just need to paint and install might add the pic later tonight, they will not be painted to cold outside.
