The new madforce-jeep project

[getfrey-80]

It is my first project.
Base from madforce. Transmission traxxas e-maxx. Wheels kyosho. Tires e-maxx 3.2.
I wish to put two motors from Kawada MX6 Pro 50T http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=688 with Tekin speed controlles.

That's sharp. Good start. RC4WD mounts? I like that body, who makes it? Great to see more Force builds.

great start,,what are your plans next for this rig,,are you gonna keep it scale or make it more of a crawler???

Thanks.
Yes, this mounts rc4wd. Body makes "new bright".

Initially I build for a trophy. Later it is possible to try to extend base and to alter in a crawler.

But for the crawler this body is not so good, It is necessary to cut and finish much. It later...

That is plain great start. You can't go wrong with a force. Am I blind or is the chassis a bit of the center?
BTW I really envy the work on the axle, apart from the rc4wd mounts, the servo and 4 link mount look unfamiliar, any info???

I noticed that as well. Looking closer at the pictures,either the bolts loose or the upper link mount on the axle is bent. That'll effect the length of the uppers as far as their point to point measurement on the truck. Even an upper that is 1/16" shorter than the other...you'd be surprised at how far it'll kick the axle to the side.

My guess was that he used totally stock MF axles, in which the pumpkin is offset. Yet the upper link mount on the axle is over the pumpkin and the uppers look equal in length so the axle itself protrudes in the long side. Again my guess would be that the cure will be an equally offset upper link mount. Just guessing though

Thats a really good looking Jeep. Hopefully it performs asgood as it looks. Keep us posted on your build.
