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

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.. |

I like to shoot pictures with a shallow depth of field, and those kind of pictures is what makes the miniature-look. Sent fra min SM-G965F via Tapatalk | |

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.. Yeah, I mentioned pictures.. Here goes!! |

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.. |

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.. 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..!!! So here you got one picture to see the wheels and stickers.. What do you think? |

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.

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. My YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9c...rIucM37i_nx3aw |

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