I built this about 4 years ago and I just registered with this forum so I thought I would share it. I made it with a pan chassis and 4 wheel independant suspension because that is what I like about the H1. The chassis is made from aluminum plate (from an old stereo reciever) and angle aluminum from Home Depot. It is held together with aluminum rivets. The rivets made the build go quick and easy and they are all still tight after alot of time on the rocks and chasing my dog around the yard. I spent alot more time on the design than I did building it. The transfer case is made from aluminum and T-Maxx trans gears,shafts and bearings.I forgot what gears I used but it is a good reduction,top speed is 8mph in 1st and 12mph in 2nd (with or w/o the body on) using a radar gun. Other parts are an E-Maxx trans with steel spur gear,Big Bore Shocks with 12 lb. blue springs,front and rear diff spools,aluminum suspension arms,knuckles and front skid,titanium hinge pins and turnbuckles,MIP cvd's,Novak Super Duty speed control and Hitec electronics.
The New Bright H2 body has 36 led's controlled by the dip switch on the dash, the driver figure is Nash from Reservoir Dogs with a little velcro facial hair. I made the dash lights by sanding the back where I wanted the light to shine through. The speaker box works and has 2 1" speakers and a Radio Shack 10 watt amplifier. There is also a 4" speaker in the grill for music or the Ram engine sound simulator.
I got the Jeep body so I could have fun and the H2 is too nice to destroy. Just 4 screws and a plug to swap out the bodies,only takes a couple minutes. With the jeep body and 1" body lift I get 4 1/2" of wheel travel. Just added 10 led's,a 4 point harness made from shoelaces,sealed the wheel wells with lexan and added lead weights to the front wheels. Black duct tape makes a great soft top and only takes a minute to install. Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions.
