You've become an incredible scale builder, and I love seeing your stuff. One thing that keeps making the trip to XMS worth coming.

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?

[lol]

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

**** 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

Thanks Cody, thats a good idea, I'll see what I can come up with later.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work man, what on your mind for the next project?

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.

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

Cheers,

Thanks for pointing that out, Kyle. I'll take pics with better lighting next time.

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.

he is service provider for custom body work, but what i meant is make full on rtr cars for people with custom work done to the cars(like this one, where the model chassis was used for the real chassis..... and ect

[dreamingISdrifting]

Yea, I guess,......Losi MRC $120, Hilux Model Kit $30, Epoxy and Styrene $20, Sold for $250??.....Priceless lol, but then again.....it takes sooo much labor....

[pimp32]

[Stampedekid]

As said on Scale, looks great man. In a few weeks we may have a GTG with everything from micros to Supers(1/8 scale) out in Central Park if you're interested, we still haven't picked any dates yet(I'm out on the island) but I figured I'd letcha know because I'd LOVE to see this in person!

Are you sure the jack is painted? It appears to be soiled with your blood.

[mycrors4]
