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.:oops:

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.
