H2 Oh! The Hummer Hard Body Clod Build!

[toyofast]

EDIT: COME ON PEOPLE LETS GET BACK ON TOPIC! NO ONE HAS SAID A THING ABOUT MY HARD BODY BUILD!

Build? You zip-tied a body to a NN.... If that is considered a "build" then I'm Buck Rogers.

EeePee, can you get rid of all of these posts that dont pertain to the subject...

And I'm Bill Gates! Nice to meet you. :lol::roll: Actually, I am still working on some way of making it sit down alot farther and nicer on that chassis. And actually, its not just zip tied on there... it slides down into slots I cut, and then zip tied as an extra measure to prevent it from coming off.

Too bad its not a shafty... :-(

 

[EeePee]

I could, but isn't this fun?

Then 90% of your posts on RCC would go away...right?:lol:

And this would be the only one pertaining to the subject! :lol:

So who's this Buck Rogers?

And whats with the weather lately?

Is your dog a pit bull, or a mix? The picture is a little dark.

 

[andres-tavares]

nice body men!... i say lowered !

 

[dezfan]

Since the H2 is a dog, why not put a T-Shirt on it and call it Bob?

I've seen some cool hardbodies, but the fascination always ends when I pick them up - they're all way too heavy.

That is cool that you can open the hood, doors, etc. though.

Can you get it to sit lower on the chassis w/o ruining the interior?

 

[Krawlin]

Unfortunately, if I did try to make it sit lower, it would totally ruin the interior. But for it being so high up, suprisingly, it performes great. Of course, not nearly as good when it just had a lexan body and some softer springs and all, but it still performs great and looks great all the while.


And btw, does anyone know if humidity affects electrical conections? Because when ever its in my house where its not really humid, the lights work fine, but when I go outside with it where its really humid, the most of the lights wont even come on.

Arizona and being humid just doesn't seem right...:?:

Are you going outside at night or during the bright sunlight? Lights are not as effective during the daylight;-)

Its monsoon season right now.

 

[toyofast]

Its monsoon season right now.

That's 10 months out of the year here.... :lol:

I asked because I remember hearing that humidity can affect electrical connections, like small lights and stuff. I dont know if its true, but thats why I asked.

Never herd that before:?.

Hmmm. Odd. I have heard it from about 3 people up at the hobby town in Tucson. I was talking to a couple of on-road guys who had light kits on their cars and said that if there is alot of humidity, that it can often affect small connections, for instance the lights of my hummer body or their light kits. This may not be true, but when I bring the truck inside, out of the humidity, the lights work fine. But when I go outside at night with it, only a couple of lights want to work. And it varies every time. Sometimes the headlights wont work, or sometimes the cab lights wont work.

 

[cembom]

I dont think that it would because not enough water would condense. Now if you were like driving on wet rocks and it was hot and the water was evaporating straight up onto it it might. But it would just get the body wet lol. I think you got a short or a bad connection. Probably is connected good when its sitting but while moving a cord wiggles loose or the wire looses contact.

Oh yeah you have a nice spot and dog. The hummers alright to but everyone wants an h1, h2s are just a pickup with a different body. and a new pick up at that. I would get some bigger tires too. You might be able to lift the interior up into the body more. It would alow you to mount the body lower sort of lol. Can we get some better shots of the chassis mounting? then we might be able to help. I my self woult tint the windows(tamiya makes some nice tint) and hack up the inside just a bit. Maybe like take out the back seat and add a spare and some cargo and add some of those recaro seats. Make it like a mosnter truck gone trail rig.

What's the humidity rating? Or.. how are you measuring the humidity? Just because it's cooler inside the house doesn't mean the humidity level is lower. If you have no way to measure the humidity then you probably shouldn't say that inside it's less.

If you are so worried about the issue, buy some dielectric grease and use it.

I think your issue is related to taking it outside in the sunlight and not the darkness to view the lights.

Nice "build", try making a chassis like the real one has. That way you could get much lower. Are you running foams in those tires? I would take them out and run some stock maxx foams or the thinner proline foams from a mulcher or bowtie. It will give the tire carcass more flex and be able to grip the rocks better.
