Scale 1/6th Jeep project

Dude · May 2, 2006

Well I tore apart the tuber and started in on my big scale truck. I am not done yet and there will be another highly modified Nylint body going on.

Here is were I am at now, I pretty much have the chassis done up. Not really hard to do with a spare SW2 laying around.:haha: I made it to 3"s wide and added the angles. I think the ride height is too high right now and it is all still in the mock up stage.

that thing looks purdy good i reckon', you should show a couple of pics of the articulation, just curious how much you can have with the shocks mounted vertical.:clappy:

Looks pretty cool. I was waiting for someone to make a scale 1/6 with the Jeep.

Looks good.

I was wondering how long it would take before you got it done and now get those Kongs on it :flipoff:.

Wow Dude! That looks awesome!
Man I don't need to see projects like this. Hmm I gotta body sittin' in my garage*must resist making list for another project*.

The downside to that body is that is gonna be sooo top heavy.

It might be, that is why I am setting the shocks up straight and inboard on the top a bit. The rig will also have Moab XL,s and a alot wider than you see in the pic. This thing will be a "wheeler/basher" kind of rig.

I will be building a clod for a big truck comp rig in the future. You can't beat a stick so you might as well join the band.

I think the Nylint tires and wheels look good on it.
