![]() I don't believe I've posted this here yet...
![]() This tutorial will show you how to make small scale Hi-Lift Jacks for your XMod truck, or car, I guess…lol… Difficultly – 6/10. Working with small and fragile parts. First, gather materials: -Styrene - no less than 1/16 inch thin. Preferable thicker - makes it easier to work with. -CA glue. -Scissors. -Small XMod hand drill, or 2mm drill bit. Don't use an electric drill - you need precision. [Not pictured] -Red paint -Black paint [Not pictured] ![]() First, cut the main part of the jack. This is a rectangle 4½cm by ½cm thick. ![]() Then, draw a line with pencil down the middle length-wise. This helps in the next step. ![]() Drill 2mm holes every 3mm or so in the main part of the jack. Be very careful, because the styrene can actually rip. ![]() Cut the lift part of the jack. This is cut from a 1cm by 1½cm rectangle. ![]() Glue the lift part of the jack onto the main part of the jack with the CA glue. ![]() Cut the base for the jack. This is a rectangle 1cm by 1½cm. ![]() Glue the base onto the bottom of the jack. ![]() To make the handle, I first glued 3 pieces of styrene together, and then cut the handle out. This is 3cm by 3mm. ![]() Glue the handle onto the jack. ![]() Shoot it with some red paint, detail the handle with black, and you are done! Here’s how it looks on my truck [not the one I made here…] ![]() Thanks for looking! ~Lancer

![]() Haha that's awesome! That would look great on some of the scale rigs on here.
