My Scaler Project... Jeep Tuber ...(Update 5-1-14)

[HPIguy]

That is absolutely incredible, I'm drooling over here. It truly puts the scale in scaler.

 

[frickenjoey]

The shocks really give the scale look a lot of help. Yeah I know I have stuff that even most people would say they are done....I can work on it forever. I have a couple I would be sickened if I added up their cost. But heck yeah that is bad ass.

No headlights?

Not YET The shifter is actually a micro toggle that will most likely be used to turn the lights on and off

Damn that looks bad ass Joe, very nice work!!!! I like your idea for the head lights, Points added!!!! LOL!!

 

[Lessen]

OHHHH MYYY GAAAAWD!!!!! this is insane dude. i jus spent 2 hrs on this thread. I'm still in shock. the attention to detail is rediculous, major props.. when i got to the page with the gas tank i almost fainted. you honestly do insane work. the skyjackers are perfect...my dad has a '61 cj5 and i have a '82 cj7...and this is saaweeeeet. gives me ideas for my actual jeep haha.. the one thing i love the most is the bar you have where the glove box is, the essential thing for a passenger...hands down coolest r/c jeep i have ever seen

ps i kno you do sick paintjobs but if you keep it matte black u are a godddd

 

[NCNitro]

Thanks

This one will be staying flat black for sure. I am still debating going back to the black and gray seats over the black and red, but I just aint sure yet.

 

[sdeck777]

nice idea, i feel ya on that , it would make the red accents pop much harder....do it

u shoulda done red beadlocks if ur gonna keep the seats red..jus sayin that would POP!!

 

[NCNitro]

I do have another set of silver rings, and I have been thinking about getting them anno'd red.

 

[SMaxxin]

cough cough it sure is dusty in here!

 

[NCNitro]

Cough..... you're.... cough.... right, lol. I have not touched any of my R/Cs since my divorce and move to FL. I am just now starting to mess with them again. Single dad raising two boys doesn't leave me much time or money for my toys. I need so little to be able to call this one done, and I started working on my Tamiya YJ, I do REALLY need to get my ass in gear and just get this one done.

 

[SMaxxin]

This one has so much detail I would love to see it run, don't let it go the way of the Chris craft build!

 

[NCNitro]

It will definitely run, just taking a bit longer than I had ever dreamed it would. :\

 

[NCNitro]

Another year another update, lol.

Ok, so it has been a year since my last update, but I have been back on this project pretty hard the past couple weeks, I really got motivated to finish this one up.

As some of you know a while back I made a Powertank for it...

but what good is an air tank with no hose, sooo, I threw this together.

I have also finally finished the front and rear bumpers completely and have them ready to be mounted up...

Also built a spare tire carrier for it this week....

I am now in the process of making a new grill to replace the one on the stock body that had the molded winch on it. Once that is done all I will need to do is fit the lights and separate battery pack that will be used only for the lights and winch, and I will finally be able to call it done.

WOW, JUST WOW!!!!
I'm completely wowed out by the absolute flawless perfection. I can't think of anything else to say, other than that.

 

[HPIguy]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, best scaler build on RCNT! Glad to see you back at it Joe.
