Maisto Gellande ii Mashup 4 Attachment(s) Hey guys pretty new to this bit I’ve been working on my first crawler, trying to make a mini of my jeep used a maisto diecast jeep 1/18 body and a rc crawler Gelande 2 frame and electronics. Attachment 382286 Attachment 382287 Attachment 382288 Attachment 382289 Still need to put details like door handles, mirrors etc back on. Built a metal roll cage because plastic one wasn’t holding up very well. Idk let me know what you guys think |
Re: Maisto Gellande ii Mashup 2 Attachment(s) Attachment 382292 Attachment 382293 A little before and after. I had to go with the maisto because I had a hard time finding TJ bodies. I like the diecast I think it looks great, but paint does chip off of it pretty easy if you’re too rough with the truck. I loved the size of the little 1/18 size crawlers and not knowing much about them I thought the Gellande ii seemed like a pretty well reviewed crawler so I went with it. Huge shoutout to this post http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/micro...gler-body.html For just showing me that it was possible to put the two together. I hope I did enough differently with it that everyone doesn’t consider me a copycat or a ripoff. I think I will also take his idea of putting a Tonneau cover over the back to cover up the battery |
Re: Maisto Gellande ii Mashup 3 Attachment(s) I really like how with the opening hood/ tailgate (after I get tonneau cover on) I can get to the power switch and the battery charging cord without tearing the entire truck apart.Attachment 382294 Attachment 382295 Attachment 382296 One thing I don’t really like is the tailgate doesn’t snap shut tight and stay closed it’s being held shut with a little dab of automotive butyl at the moment. Dies anyone know of like a little clasp or magnet latch that would hold the tailgate shut I could mount back there? |
Re: Maisto Gellande ii Mashup this is very cool |
Re: Maisto Gellande ii Mashup This is your first crawler? That looks awesome, those bodies look great and fit the chassis great. And a nice, clean 1:1. |
Re: Maisto Gellande ii Mashup Thanks guys it’s been a fun little project |
