I went to loosen up a little the studs(cramps) of the willys for the biggest pleasure of Joe which had naturally put his jacket not to be too much cold I accumulated behind at home a heap of big stones which allow me to try my RC, I took advantage of it to make some photos













 
That's awesome. I have that exact same Jeep, I am also planning on converting to an RC, unfortunately mine is missing the windshield though. Been checking ebay for one but no luck yet. How has the stock plastic chassis held up?
 
There is no problem to use the frame of origin of the jeep, it does not move, it is very well fixed with saw them of origin.

All jeep 1/6 have no frame, that depends on brands
 
Wow that is just too cool. Love the conversion!! Also the pictures of Joe cutting and doing the work himself made me chuckle. I love the skeleton too. Awesome job!!

Good to know, thanks for info. Since I have the exact same one you used I will plan on using the stock chassis
 
Oh man that is dead sexy, I love the skeleton driver, if your not going to use him I will gladly take him off your hands, I need a driver :D
 
thanks for the compliment :D

When you go to see the one that I have today just stopped for the chalenge RC crawler / scale that I organize in France ... :whistle:
