Custom tube work to include bumpers and roll cage (by Mr. Mann)

I had to shorten the wheelbase by about 1/2" If you look in this pics you will see the rear shocks are not sitting right . I had to move the shock mounts up to the other holes on the frame .

I used some Axial 70mm post for the new lower links . I have some 55mm on the way for the uppers . I also used TCS upper link mount on the rear . I think the wheelbase is right at 10 15/16"

As for the front 3 link and steering mount from MSD . This was a easy install and very well made part .

Check here for the how to .

I also did the Gas tank mod like SMFtwstdHICK did . His seen here http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1687991&postcount=22

Other plan include removing the top . Not sure if it willbe behind the cab or if it willbe at the front windshield .
Some tube work we are looking at

Looks good Badd.

I still need to screw my gas tank down in the back like you did. One of those little steps I forgot. "thumbsup"

There are a lot of kick-ass SCX-10 builds on here. This is going to be no different."thumbsup" I like the "gas tank" idea. I was going to build one out of styrene but maybe i'll pick up one of those instead.

 

[helhedded]

I'm watching. You said 2 g8 flatirons for the front. Can you really tell much of a difference in the compounds? I assume the regular compound will go on the back.

 

[jeepcj578]

Is it done yet?

Well, your avatar title answers your question. "Is it 2012 yet?"

Looks great Andy.

Mine is coming along too. I think it's going to be a Defender 90. That body fits the wb perfect.

I did strip them . I'm not sure I will keep the wheelbase as it is now . I have been looking at moving the Skid plate foward . I have also flipped the trans/ skid around .

Doing this puts the spur more under the dash . "thumbsup"

[jeepcj578]
