Build Thread The Boozido - Beer's First Attempt At A Scale Rig

[Beer_Goggles_RC]

So now that I'm getting back in to crawling, i've never had a  scale rig with all the bells, whistles, and doohickies. With this truck, id like to try my hand at giving it some character, rather than focusing soleley on performance.

Bear with me, I am no artist but how hard could it be to add some scale accessories?

No problem, I'm assuming you mean scale looks, like gas cans, roof racks, tire jacks, lighting, etc.

What scale is it?
There's a good selection of scale accessories available. Also if you or someone you know has a 3d printer, there's tons of files out there for scale parts.

1/10, but next to a 1/10 it almost looks like 1/8

i imagine all the standard 1/10 accessories will fit nicely

Buy ya some card stock for your printer if you have one. You can make your own.

First up, installing the factory supplied snorkel

Factory marked punch holes make it easy

Wondering if I should try painting it? I kind of like the black though

 

[WickedFog]

All the real life ones I have seen have been all black I believe.

So bed space isnt really there for anything unfortunately, probably could cut some stuff in half and slightly submerge it, but i dont think id be a fan of that look.

Maybe if I can find the right size roof rack?

That's more like a 1/6, those Sammy's are super small in full size. So you can check the scale, factory samurai has a 2030mm wheelbase
