Hmm, battery strangely resembles a large spare fuel can. Draw in the X with a sharpie! Excellent work Jason.

The feeling is the same here.


All I can say is WOW! How do you get it all cut so perfectly, and glued to seamlessly?

Thank you very much guys! For the battery in the bed, I might just leave it as its, for easier to take it out and recharge them. For the tube work on the bed, I started off with 1 side first, I use Krazy Glue to glue them on, once they are set, I measure them, and write down all the numbers, then make the copy for the other side.

Update: Got the bed painted! Also added some details at the bottom of the chassis.

**** looking good you should make the battery into a fuel cell and just use styrene to make into a square add straps and use heatshrink to make the 2 wires into 1 so it looks like a hose

The best part that I like about almost all of your projects is that they are NOT shelf queens, you put so much work into them and are not a wee bit afraid of getting them dirty, that is just pure awesomeness. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work man, what on your mind for the next project?

Need more light in your photos. They are too dark to see a lot of the beautiful detail.

Not to sound like a broken record, but you're doing a great job with this.

Cheers,
Kyle.

you should REALLY be a service provider that makes custom stuff and sells em, but not for the 1/10 scale stuff, but for the smaller scale cars im sure the 1/18 guys would pay A LOT for your work....

you'd be rich!!!!

i love this
if i had enough money, id make an offer, but idk how much to pay.. i need like over $1000 for sure!!!!!
lol if u want... you can have all my xmods lmao

Thanks, I don't plan on starting on a new project any soon, I have way too many projects on hands atm. But for my next project, I'm thinking of Han's RX-7 from Tokyo Drift.

Haha, I'll think about that, when I finish all my projects, and have some free times, I'll think about making scale accessories for small scale R/C cars.

Update: Have been busy, and didn't have much time to work on this one, but I got some new stuff for her. I'm in the process of making the heavy duty front bumper and the high lift jack.





And some videos of her running.

I was talking about the service providing, but for $1000, thats a deal.

I already got a few light scratches on her, its not noticeable, but no rock crawler is perfect right? The heavy duty bumper is what I'm using for now, but maybe later I will build a tube bumper for it.

Thanks momo, those are my 1st ever small scale axles, so I don't know how are they compare to the SSMT axles, but they are amazing, the bottom of the axles have many impact with the rocks, but they barely have any scratches/marks on them.

I did the texture with the Tamiya spray can, the grey interior is done with Tamiya grey primer, the bucket seats are done with the Tamiya Matt Black. It's my first time trying the texture effect, and I'm pretty happy with the result.

Update: Got more work done on the interior. Break up the grey interior with some matt black.








Also painted the window trims matt black, but you can't hardly see it, door handles painted aluminum silver.

Gotchya. It looks good. Just haven't seen it from you before and was wondering if that was the actual intent.

Cheers,
