CODYBOY AXLES.

'nuff said.

*oh and you need to hurry up and put a winch on the jeep for accuracy ;)
**and if you PM me a pic i could help with driver figures. i know action figures inside out and backwards, could help you customize a set.

for s shirt? there are ebay sellers that make custom scale clothing for figures. that's where i'd start. or if you don't want soft goods, you could sculpt one over the muscles with aves apoxysculpt or milliput. or...i could ;)

I meant suggestions on a figure in general. This is for the JKU body, so just a bust will fit.
Ordered axles.

Hey Chris, I finished your axles this afternoon, will get them in the mail tomorrow.
I continued the holes for your link mount through the housing and into the brass tube and tapped them for 4-40 screws. It should strengthen the mounts a lot. I included the screws. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get them.

An interim project...
Got another JK wrangler body for bashing. Threw on the Proline Krawlers and setup the suspension, painted the body.

Will convert back to the Bravens with the 1:1 body for Class1 comp. This one I don't mind rolling off a cliff.




Hard to believe this is the same chassis...

"basher jeep" looks good! too clean though ;)

yeah sorry i had a busy weekend and didn't get back to you on the figures.
look at marvel select figures, or stuff from NECA in the 7 inch scale.
i'll take a look here in a sec and see what looks close. i forgot about that pic on post #75 lol

here is a good one. comes in a 2 pack with the alien, but you can get it by itself loose on ebay. probably want a head swap though lol unless you look really scared while you are wheelin!



OMG DID I TIGHTEN THOSE LUGNUTS?!!

Hey Browneye, Creepy uncle Albert is a driver figure that is used by forum member 'pardonmynoob' and appears in all his awesome builds, he also has a scale crawler track in his yard called Smiggins Folly, very cool, his build threads are entertaining with a good dose of humour thrown in.

Creepy Uncle Albert even has his own fb page!

Now I've pulled parts together and a kit to build another one of these Ascenders. This one is a Vaterra version of the Axial JKU - complete with upgraded electronics, axles, and tires. What say ye, post it here or start a new thread?

This is for bashing and class2.5 comp, WB4 so I can paint and run the blazer body too with it's own tires and wheels. I have a bikini top and this is the one I want to put driver and passenger in. Color is florescent green and yellow with green wheels - all hi-tech, no 1:1 to copy, just 'unlimited'. How fitting, eh?.

Most peeps here seem to start a new build thread for every rig, so maybe go with the flow?

Any other suggestions for characters/heads/busts?
Or should I go toy-store shopping?
