the jeep u saw at the gas station.
Yes, the carpet was a much needed touch for those who love the detail, and it was simple 90 cents at the local fabric shop i found.
as for the 70th addition sahara, yeah i think i saw that below the sport and above the wrangler stickers on the 1:1

yeah those 70th editions make nice mall trucks, lol sat in one the other day at the dealer was comfy but it doesnt feel like a wrangler, feels to clean cut

Interior is pretty spot on, in personal opinion i would not put carpet in an jeep for off roading. lol, though it is a nice scale touch. just need some rubber mads for it "thumbsup". Color scheme an dash are pretty dead on, looks about as comfortable as a real jeep to lol.

Heres an update
My brother in law's honcho mud boggin backyard style
Here I found some material and sewed together a tire protector. only for scale looks, I put a dirty tire inside, fits both 1.9 and 2.2 tires for future upgrades
Got sick and tired of that stupid little driveshaft screw, kept stripping my allen key, so i took a phillips screw small enough to fit without hitting anything, tightened it good using super glue, cause its plastic on metal, where as thread lock only works metal to metal. but now i have a working driveshaft, also used a Traxxis pin vs the axial pins, that way I didn't have to drill out the holes to fit the axial pin in the plastic. should hold up much better

oh forgot to mention that I have the album link to the entire series, has more pictures that I did not post to this thread so it wasn't so "cluttered" as most would call it.
Here is a video of the mud boggin with my brother in laws honcho
I also have another video coming soon

Update.
Installed Integy Metal Driveshafts. Had to drill out old axial driveshafts, but managed to save them just incase.
I noticed that the driveshaft angle is too much for the integy, so i had to remove the shock mounts that I had made, 1st prototype was dual plate aluminum which held. and then i made them out of steel, but had to reduce to 10mm, but still clicked on the driveshaft and made the truck jerky. so i removed them and mounted the shocks at the normal position

lol, that would be quite the drive. My truck looks like a real truck thats been through mud, just caked on. lol i let it dry didn't feel like washing it off, headed to some waterfall to play on rocks, bit of hike though, but worth the fun.
update, picked up a 3600mah electricfly nimh 8.4v flat pack
and also a 25tooth pinion. noticed i can't run it too long on the 27t motor, she gets warm and warms the battery right up as well. I'm not too sure, but I think for the 25tooth pinion do i purchase a 17 or 15 turn motor? or do you think the 25tooth will work good on the 35turn motor? was also thinking of purchasing a different spur gear, possible a 90 tooth or 93 tooth and a 78 spur, just to play, cause there is a lot of parks near me.. what do you guys think? need a bit of help with that, I understand the spur/pinion gear ratio cause of the scx10 booklet, just not how to get a good top speed for a race without burning motors

New Integy Drive shafts, they work ok at stock shock length. any more they click and jerk the truck around. meaning i had to remove my shock mount i made
I broke the output shafts on the axial transmission, I didn't realise they make full solid gear with output attached from RPM I would of bought it instead. Oh well. Greased the transmission till it oozed out, took a few minutes to get the grease to settle but works better than the axial grease doesn't wine near as much.
End of our trip, found there was something stopping the axle from turning, so i assumed there was mud and rock in between the gear inside the axle. So that was the end of that trip, at least we were done at the waterfalls and having dinner on the camp fire at a buddies house.
Anyways turned out to be the integy drive shaft, there is a small screw that holds the pin in place, it fell up and jammed the driveshaft so it couldn't turn. fixed it, and thread locked that screw so works good now.
Update, got a pinion starter kit, 15, 17,19,21,23 and 25 tooth pinions. I'm trying the 19 out and i'm liking it, going to try 21, 23, 19 and the 17 later. I know the 25 is too much, and 15 is just a spare cause i have the 14 with the kit.
Also bought a set of allen keys by great plane, good deal even came with a 1.27mm allen which i've never heard of lol. good ball point should help
