That's awesome! How much did that body cost?

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Thanks Jato!
I think it was $360 plus shipping..

I've decided not to remember any prizes from now on..
If I cant remember I cant be held accountable, can I..? :D

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

I'm not a huge fan of Humvees but that is very cool. Nice work.

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

So I got some input on a british site on facebook, a tip on the original rims from the tactical unit..
So I ordered a set of those, and guess what..? They dont look that bad actually..

BTW, I sold and shipped the HiLux-body today, so you wont see that one again I guess..

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Looks awesome! but maybe its how the pics are taken but it just looks so tiny??

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Yepp, and it's done by purpose.
I like to shoot pictures with a shallow depth of field, and those kind of pictures is what makes the miniature-look.

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

So I got to take some pictures today..
Keep in mind that the tires wasn't glued to the rims since I got new beadlocks on the way that I hope will fit with this body..
I know they wont look as good as these ones(quite honestly I really love the look of the tactical rims with this body), but I think I'll hold back on buying even more beadlocks the coming weeks..
Ehm, I can't promise that last note will hold for long, but I'll at least give it a try.. :D
Yeah, I mentioned pictures.. Here goes!!

So that's it for now..

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Yeah, I have to address a couple points I've had thrown at me posting these pictures on different forms today..

1 - Yeah, I know it ain't scale right enough for puritans.. I know a real H1 has independent suspension.. But bare in mind, I'm newb to this hobby and to me this boddy UP's the ante quite a few steps from the lexan-wobblyness I've been dealing with this far..
2 - Yeah, I know it's bought and not built.. If that bothers you it's you that have a problem.. I work somewhere between 50 and 60 hrs every week and do not have the time or guts to build this one myself.. I allready got one hardbody lying in a corner LOL'ing at me for not spending time with it.. So thats why I went the easy way on this one.
3 - Yeah, I know the rc4wd wheels is a perfect fit. And eventually I think I'll go for them. But I want to explore other wheels also, I've seen lots of photos of H1's on other wheels than those steel-wheels. So for the look I got those Tactical plastic-wheels just to get the photos. Those wheels are too light and will not be the ones I use regularly, but for the looks I think they worked out great..!
4 - Hell yeah! I forgot the last point.. But I know there was a fourth one, I will return when I remember what it was.. :D

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Since last time I've finally fixed the body mounting(I hope), at least so that the body will stay in one place as long as I dont roll a lot.. :D
I also got the CNC-guys at work to machine some new rings for my rims, so now they're aluminium colored as they should be..
And at last but not least, I got stickers.. Stickers baby..!!! :D
So here you got one picture to see the wheels and stickers.. What do you think?

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

I think it looks really good. But like you said it's not to scale.doesny matter as long as you have fun with it.

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

I like the black wheels better than the alum because they act as an optical illusion, allowing the rig to look a bit more scale. The black also goes better alongside the other black accents... hinges, hood vent, lettering, etc... imho. That being said, I'm always a sucker for putting new wheels/ tires on my vehicles so I understand the enjoyment of changing things up... especially on a fresh rig. All in all I think it's a great-looking H1... definitely unique and I dig the sense of humor as a finishing touch. If I ever find myself crossing a street in Norway, I'll be sure to look both ways.

Re: SiCkPuPPy's TRX-4 with a Hummer H1-body.
 

I think the black rims fit better with the military feel of that H1 body. However I really like that style of Aluminum wheel so it would be a tough call for me to decide which to go with.

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Thanks Levi :)
Yeah, I like the way it looks also. I'm still in search for the perfect wheels tho', but yeah I'm having a good time and loving the TRX-4 in every way!

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

Hahaha, love the feedback, and I couldn't agree more.
The black wheels looks pretty good I think, I may buy another set of those to try and paint them in the same color as the body.. What other than money do I have to loose? :D

Glad you got the humor on the stickers, I'm planning on how to get to mark off some victims on there..

Re: SiCkPuPPy's TRX-4 with a Hummer H1-body.
 

I totally agree about the wheels.. The only thin I dont love about them is that they are made of plastic.. I might have to buy the expensive RC4WD-wheels in the future.. It would've been cheaper to buy them at the beginning instead of trying out all these other wheels.. But again, the trying and failing is fun :D

I'll check out your youtube-channel :)

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 

So I went out to play some today..
