yet another jeep

[Bknight]

sadly i went with the jeep body even though it seems like every one has them. for my first car, i'm pretty happy with how it is. paint isn't perfect, but its more 'authentic' to my big one.
you've probly seen luckymonkeys bronco, posted last night i believe. we built ours just about the same. i got one first, then he got his
Specs are
WB 13 even with a 60/40 weight split to the front
stock chassis and tranny with tensioner
moabs on stampede wheels narrowed an inch
custom beadlocks
hitec HS-5465 servo
HPI TF-3 remote and reciever.
duratrax custom battery pack
stock txt motore, 27t i think. its most likely goning to get replaced
moped esc on its way for the 6th week :-x
onto the pics
my 1:1 is loosly based on. they don't have any YJ bodies...

flexing on my car

Front

Side

Top


i got a little over anxiuse mounting the body, and its back a tad to far with some slight rubbage at full flex.

future upgrades are. stealth tranny so i can cut the chassis. wheel widners, maybe up the shocks dunno yet, 35t motor to work with the moped, and maybe shorten it a bit to around 12

I dig it , very nice, keep it up

OMG its actually running! i got the ESC to night, and the guy almost wasn't going to let me have it, he was like, well, your dad should sign for it, but since your so close to being 18 i'll let you sign. so far i've already snapped a drive shaft :-? so down to rear wheel drive. i see a new tranny in the very soon future

[Bknight]

so after the first day of wheeling damage report is: sever slippage of the tranny but was easily fixed with lots of krazy glue, broken drive shaft, fixed with a piece of round stock and krazy glue, and tweaked rear drive shaft rear wheel stabilzer came out. once they brake i'm finding a new alternative, maybe brass or something solid i can drill out. rolled once, no damage

[Bknight]

so to day was the offical first day of it being up and running. put about 5 packs through it with minimal carnage. i only manage to snap one drive shaft and lose a cup, and strip out my front drive shaft. but i got some sweet pics that i'll post up tomorrow

[Luckymonkey00013]

here are the shaft pics, th efirst one is a little hard to dee but if you look way to the right of the truck there is a little silver piece that is the drive shaft, it shot it all the way over there.

went out to day with my nice new drive shafts taht are indestructable now. steal rod wraped in aluminum (sadly) tub, wrapped in size bigger tube, and all JB welded to hell. minor slippage in the tranny, took it all a part and its Krazy glued together. so no more isues from it.
pics will be up later

project tonight is cutting board chassis. let ya guys know how it goes

lol, i only thought they where indestructable, but they broke. so before i bought real shafts i took a piece of 1/4" rod and grind out a set of dog bone shafts, those where indestructable
