Build Thread Infraction Half Cab Build - 8S Conversion

[floe]

Slow progress... It's like everything on this build takes a bit longer than expected I soldered some LEDs for the headlights and made a couple of mounting brackets for them as well. Looking forward to getting the front of the body done soon

Custom front grill and headlights installed in the body

Mounted on the chassis. Also painted the background for the Arrma logo same color as the body

Those lights look better every time I see them! Very cool! They fit the body well!

So next up is body alignment. Especially the rear sides of the body "pops out" from the chassis due to tension in the lexan being released after I cut the rear arches that acted like a structural part of the body. To remedy this I need to mount a couple of brackets that will hold the body and keep it nice and tight. I needed a flat surface to do this and the original Scorched side panels in plastic coming with the fender kit is not flat but has a big fat logo embroidered. I therefor ordered some Scorched carbon fiber side panels that will be perfect for this

Brackets installed. Simple solution with velcro holding the body. Before and after....

Oh. And I installed a rear light bar as well

We have white boots. A set of GRP XM7s.

So I finalised the rear wing and diffuser this evening. Added some white accents to match the wheels. It's basically done now. I just need to wrap a set of batteries and shoot some decent photos of it

 

[floe]

Job done... All there is to do now is to send it

 

[Warby]

Nice photos too

 

[Doom!]

Finished up very nicely!

Sweet ride my man.

That thing turned out beautiful. Nice job!

It's beautiful! I have one question though. Why did you cut the back end of the body off in the middle of the wheel well? I feel like you could have cut it off at the tailgate. It still looks beautiful! That's my only question/suggestion.

I basically followed the seem line where the Infraction bodies are welded together. I kind of wanted the look of a half open wheel but I get you

Makes sense
