| My cheap Unimog body and platform build
Hello because i am unsatisfied with the stock "angle to the slope" abillity i want a lower gravity point.And i also want more room for the scale recovery stuff ,the only way a near cab over body must fit.I prefer the Unimog body from Tamiya (used).All other body parts are self homebuild . I make a tread in a German crawler Forum but there also many pictures from the build. If you have question i try to answer. http://rccrawler.eu/forum/index.php?...jekt/&pageNo=1 Last edited by Traildriver; 04-14-2018 at 02:49 AM. |

Great looking truck! You'll certainly get more responses to your thread if you post the build and photos over here. |

| Re: My cheap Unimog body and platform build This works only on rocks! It sucks in the mud and on grass hills ha ha. The mirror are build from zipties and bicycle plys (old from bike shop) not so nice lokking but "scratchontherock" proof! The snorkel is made from wire protector hose and a huge zip tie,not so nice but quickly fixed if i loosing it ha ha! Last edited by Traildriver; 04-14-2018 at 02:29 AM. |

Ok third stearing servo broke (first 20kg blue i bought) maybe the brass weight from J.T. are to heavy for a 20kg ,now i try a 23kg . Change all mini Servos to New Power XL-9 and modified to a bigger spline with a easy trick.drill a whole in the old servo spline push it up side down on the tiny XL 9 spline and cut the spline from the old servo, than filled up with Marine grease for waterproofness and it works with no "brrrmmm" servo noise. |
