| Jeep Brute body
Has anyone done a build thread on a Jeep Brute body? I tried using the search function but the most recent was from June and the images were no longer available (they were linked to Dropbox) I assume im going to have to cut up a New Bright or similar body, and make the bed from Styrene. But I wanted to see what others were doing. Theres got to be more than one way, right? |

That's the same body I started with. I haven't made any new progress for quite awhile, but would like to finish it. Here's my build thread ACBBO Entry - Wrangler/Brute build - Page 2 - Scale 4x4 R/C Forums |

There are a ton of builds out there.. though most are jk8's labeled as brutes. There is a fantastic j12 by sgtbham ( https://www.google.com/url?q=http://...fbr5dtqOK4wvtg ). I have yet to see any one do a brute with the raised section in the roof that most 1:1 brutes seem to have. Here are some I like: *River Raider inspired JK Brute* Jeep Brute/JK8 thread. ScaleReady makes a Brute..... These are two of my favorites: 1.9 Jeep BRUTE - Project ORANGE CRUSHER - MAINE CRAWLING PHOTOS !!! http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/paint...ght=jeep+brute Hope that helps. Good luck on your project!! |
