Shaun Goes Scale....

[Shaun]

I'm kind of going a different route now, I'll be using the chassis on a black foot body now.

I ordered a K2-3L chassis, anodized black. I will also be picking up a Axial trans to use.

Here are all the parts I have collected.

Here is the Rubicon after some decals, I still need to get a highlift and mount it on the hood.

Here is what is left to order
RC4WD Dual Spring 90mm shocks

Axial Trans
35T Lathe motor

And a few other odds and ends.

Looks like a good pile of parts to put together!!!!

 

[Shaun]

Got some little crap done, this is a really slow build because my comp rig is my main interest and I just toss spare money at this build.

It is almost complete, I got some upper link mounts coming from Muddauber.

MoCrawler is building me a soft top that I'm picking up at Crawlapalooza

I got the steering done, trans mounted, electronics mounted, and body finished.

I'm trying to get it finished before Crawlapalooza, so I don't have time to mount the servo on the frame right now.

Here is my pile of parts right now. The only things I need to complete it, is a motor, and I'm planning on trading for some shocks next week. I also have to make some links once my upper link mounts get here.

I have been really busy with school and work, but I finally had some time to work on this, maybe I'll get it done in time for Crawlapalooza!
I just need to mount the body, and pick up a motor from the LHS(27T FTW!)

Nice job its looking really good. are you going to make some custom bumpers?

 

[Shaun]

I will be fabing up some bumpers when I get a chance.

Got some more done, it runs now, I still want to put a highlift on the hood. Also I use Velcro on the body so that I can adjust the body height. I'll have some pictures of how I mounted the body later.
