Does AM have anything like those?

Sorry to get off track there, those wheels just spiked my interest.

Car looks really good so far. Also, does that lift function or is it just looks?

Ha... earthquakes. I was born in Orange county CA, so I was young when I first expirenced earthquakes. In fact I think there was an earthquake on my 3rd day back from the hospital. But I'm so used to 'quakes that i just sleep through them!

It's cool but after along time of no earthquakes you just expect to get the "big one" soon -lol.

Thanks bro - those are all mini-z stuff btw.

That is if you'll get rid of them.

The rims are the same ones that Supershebly mentioned about except that i'm using mini-z rims - i adopted them to fit xmods wheel hubs. The front set are +1.5 and the rear are +2.5 offsets - i could find any xmods' set in those offsets.

Here's a few other little updates:





I got all the details under the hood done, the body is mounted already (custom mounts - velco was used for the rear) now I have to take care of intereior details and the other decals that are left to put on. I also change my mind about the lipo and 2x2 FETs - it's just too much for a model body to handle imo.


Thanks for watching - more to come soon.

Thanks bro! I figured it would be nice to continue with the details stuff since I did it on most of my recent truck builds.

I just started to paint the interior so after that dries up i'll be doing the finall finishing touches on that then add the decals. More to come soon!

[HUMMER H4]

The car is awsome,It almost looks real.

[XMODification]

Thanks for all the comments guys!!

Here's my latest updates for now:










It's about 90% finished at the moment - I still need to finish the front grill, add the lights, mufflers, motor and do alittle more paint touch-ups on the chassis itself. After all that i'll just polish it up and it should be done hopefully by tomarrow.

More pics to come soon.

[spitfire]

[HUMMER H4]

I agree with splitfire and i would love 2 have that if u ever stop doing xmods,lol

[XMODification]

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions guys -I really appreciate it all!

Well, it finally done so I figure I'll post a few pics of it all shined up and on display:

LOL - thanks Donzi! That old shcool photo feature is from photobucket - they got some nice effects now .

Ok, so I put it back on the lift for the suggested touch-ups: New smaller and more scale mufflers plus I painted the front bottom flat black to hide the chassis abit.

Here's the pics of it after the work was done





Next will be a short video to show you guys how it handles (it handles really well just in case you're wondering )


Thanks for watching.
