RCMODELEX Hilux Short Trial

[FREEDOM83]

Well, after a few years pick and shovel trying to get one of the two loose chassis of this very exclusive version of Rcmodelex that I asked for two friends, one of them is still in process and has passed through the hands of other bend work of frind and this one I have finally managed to buy it, along with all the material in the photos, gear head rims ,1.55 tires, pitbull tires... two hpi planetary reduct , mirrors and rubber snorkel rcmodelex etc etc, all brand new, he even gave me the threaded rod and aluminum tube for make the links… tamiya cabin with rc4wd bed…. Well I leave the photos and you know … soon and little by little the progress:

And now , the most tedious task , at least for me , of this project . Although I will take an rc4wd cabin, because this one from tamiya looks like a colander, there are now no Marlin version beds, so I have to cut and paste, since it is not the first thing I do, I already know what to do and what not to do, Let's see if it's better than the last one hehehehehe

Looks like your off to a good start, now don't screw it up! Sorry, that's the motivational speech I give myself, have to remember that's for internal use only.

Always cool when you finally get all the bits and pieces for a project you've been wanting to do.

Of course, I think the same thing when I start ... we will see how it ends, thanks for the encouragement !!!

I have taken advantage of the weekend to do things, test suspension, make links and other things, to see if what is missing is coming and I continue with the bodyworka







With the material I have , I am doing what I can hehehe any progress is good , even if it does not follow the logical order hahahaha

Electronics on your site, as I have links made that there does not bother me




And some internal wheel arches , the rear ones finished , the front ones I have the molds made , I am missing the plastic I know I have run out






The front ones are already drying

[FREEDOM83]

[Doom!]

Lookin' good!

 

[FREEDOM83]

Some more progress, simple interior and support for the led bar








And it's ready for painting

 

[Doom!]

Dang that's lookin' good!

 

[FREEDOM83]

More parts have arrived, for now I have been able to adjust front links including panhard and its support.
Definitely, I will put smaller tires, it will go very low and with Currie axles, with the pitbulls it rubs when going wider than with yota axles.

 

[WickedFog]

Looking awesome.

 

[FREEDOM83]

I already have the right tires, on Monday they were sent by FANATIC and on Thursday they delivered the package to me in Spain, excellent as always





Comparing with 1.9 Krawlers

 

[FREEDOM83]

[Doom!]
