| well some of you might have seen my post in the newbie section but this is where i was told to stick some pics so here goes. okay this model comes in kit form and needs quite a bit of work to getting it into a finnished running model there are no eletrics included with the kit so there are a few more bits that will need to be purchased but some people just use them as static models so no eletrics are needed keeping the costs down the chassis is made of 5mm steel tig welded and its solid so wont bend or flex. it as coil shockers fitted filled with 25wt oil and they are silky smooth allowing some nice scale articulation. the axles are made of alloy with steel gears and are made by a company called rc4wd.they are in fact scale yota axles and look very nice. the motor is bolted to the transmission where a shaft runs to the transfer box which in turn powers both axles.both diffs are fitted with diff lockers so its constant 4 wheel drive. the motor i have for this build is a lightley tuned tamiya 28turn motor this gives pretty good wheel speed but it also produces loads of torque. before i stick some pics up if anybody fancys a crack at one of these and needs more in depth info drop me a message and i will gladly help out if i can.i will also be adding info on other parts of the model such as wheels/tyres light kits woring winch then the scale accesories like high lift jack sand ladders/waffle boards pull pals/ground anchors tow ropes/strops/tree savers and loads of other stuff heres a few pics showing my progress im taking my time with this so i can get it done right chassis built ready for eletrics motor and transmission ready for teflon grease on all gears transfer box ready for greasing bodyshell sat on chassis with full roofrack mock up the bodyshell was rubbed down with scotch pads then it recieved 3 coats of halfords grey plastic primer right time to stick some colour on the shell after walking up and down the paint isle in halfords for around an hour i decided to get some volkswagon brilliant orange.here it is after 3 coats of paint. bodyshell now with 5 coats of paint and the roof has been painted satin black along with the windscreen section.i also painted the window rubbers i just need to paint the window recesses now well thats as far as i have got so far and theres still loads to do so keep tuned comments are welcome good or bad i hope you like it bleddyn | |
