It may not be able to be activated without the signal wire connection. You won't lose anything by trying , though.

Which wire is the signal wire? And if I can get it to work what wires would I snip and reroute to a 3a toggle switch if possible?

Build is looking great bro!

Thanks Randy I am getting burned out on the build so I gotta hurry while my build ethic is still strong before I start cutting corners which I cannot do!

Not a fan of the Rubi shell really and am kind of disapointed that the cage reminds me of the Dingo which it is not, at all! Its a shame because I am on the hunt for another lid.

Thanks to Randy I couldnt accept a rear mounted pack so I rearranged everything and got it squared away. I water proofed the stock electronic box after calibrating and setting up my esc and will seal the rx in the servo box seperatly so I can utalize the remaining space for clips or tools or spare parts or whatever. Just waiting for everything to dry amd its test time!!!

And my very first attempt at a snorkel from scratch, id say it turned out very nice and beats paying $40 for RC4WDs version...

Simply made with some old clear rubber hose thats beem hardened over time, heat shrink tubing, a light bucket and lense from another Axial kit and a filter decal from my EXO sticker sheet.

Nice job bro, looks real good and saved $40, win win.

Now the trick is mounting it... ima drill a hole n the side of the hood for entry then its up to me and anyone here with an idea to get it up. I'm within the hour from being 100% completed, finally wooo!!

 

[HPI-Killer]

Good god she is a heavy pig!!! But here she is, in all her camera phone glory! I am getting excited now!!

Ill get some outdoors shots and get them up bit I had to show yall how the looks!!

 

[HPI-Killer]

Let there be LIGHT!!! Very very happy how good, light and BLUE my lights turned out!!! Son was driving my rig and busted one of the headlight gaurds off, oh well easy fix..

The Rubi looks tough bro! I see what you mean about the cage resembling a Dingo, you need to mod that cage somehow.

 

[HPI-Killer]

Thanks Pete she definatly intimidates me while I drive it. I sat at my table just staring at that damn cage but am not sure what and where to start hacking... Dont wanna chop and cut and hack and have it look like sack either...

Was a fun test run too, then 2 minutes in my 4 year old boy demanded he drive so he got to play with it 97% of the time and I had a great time teaching him how to drive it and use a pistol grip controller, great memories for sure!! And he may join me tomorrow on the trails and get some GoPro face time in too!!

Great looking rig Loring!

Hey thanks Randy, I tink I dunned alright buildin her up. But I can't I WONT do another build for awhile thats for sure!

 

[HPI-Killer]

Hmm deciding between the JK with the shell

Orrrr without the shell?

 

[HPI-Killer]

I got more face time to shoot with my GoPro and my JK so heres some pics for now! Man she runs and performs like a dream, I couldn't have predicted it to run this good on the first run on the trails. And the Mad Beast PBs performed as well as I hoped, I would say almost better than the 1.9 scale PBs..

Gutsy move but I took her for a dip! But had no fear since my electronic boxes are WP and the servo sits chassis level.

And then came sasquatch out of nowhere!
