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

im already on to the bonkas stickers the guy should be getting back to me later today about them and some number plate stickers.

thravesy i looked at a few different black sprays but i couldnt make my mind up i was going to go for the camel trophy sand glow yellow but i just wasnt sure.i will get nother body soon or maybe after christmas i will get the defender 110 but its a lot of money.you can paint my next one for me if you want Laughing

i just put the d90 on the scales and it weighs in at 4.2kilos it will be close to 5.5 kilos when its fully loaded maybe a bit more.

right while im here im after suggestions on a colour for the interior and dash and carpet.theres a chap who sells dolls house accesories in pontypridd so i will see if he has any dolls house carpet thats suitable

and thanks for the comments

Those kits are amazing. You've done a brilliant job with them.
I'm another one who'd be loosing it with a kit like that.

well im back with a very small update been busy and ill with the man flu

ive got a few little jobs done i have added weight to all four wheels they now weight 35 ounces between them.

i have nearly finnished fitting the interior just needs lining up and bolting in

i have also fitted some diamond plate to the bonnet and wing tops but i need to re stick the edges down

the motor and steering servo are also fitted just need a eletronic speed controller now

i also recieved a couple of bonkers vinyls and number plates and they look great and easy to read.

still loads of little bits to do so keep tuned
