Rock Crawler
Well, I finally have my hands on a Defender project! Ever since starting crawling (only about a year ago) I've been wanting to build one. It's going to be a huge difference performance-wise from my JK project, but I'll still have fun with it.
I got it as an abandoned project, but I don't think it's ever been driven outside.
Current state: (Updated: 11/15/12)
SCX-10 Chassis
Axial Aluminum Chubs and Knuckles
Aluminum rear lockouts
Axial Universals
Axial Under/over drive gears
Hand Bros. CMS
MIP Spline Drives
Pro-Line PowerStroke Shocks in front
HPI Mini Cup Racer shocks in rear
Gear Head 4-Link Truss
Aluminum links
RC4WD 1.9 Tango Downs
RC4WD 1.9 MTZs
HiTec 7950TH servo
Holmes Hobbies BRXL WP
Tekin 55T
Tamiya D90 Body
Custom styrene truck bed and cab back
Custom cage and roof rack
Special Thanks to:
Chaotic Crawler (LEDs)
ScaleOffroad (shackles, emblems, rope)
MadDogRC (winch hook and 5" LED lightbar)
MG200 Design (ARB front bumper, rear bumper, and sliders)
Crawler Innovations (Foams)
HeyOK (LED controller)
RCMEX (Safari Snorkel)
SDI 4X4 (Fender flares)
Future plans:
Finish truck bed and cab back...
Here are some pictures of how it currently sits. It came with Axial shocks in the back and RC4WD's in the front. I don't like the RC4WD shocks, and the Axial's will eventually fail, so hopefully the Pro-Lines will work out.
I really like the look of the Tango Downs and Trail Busters, but at 4.09" tall, they're too tall for this truck.
Flex shots...
I really love the metal cage work!
The interior sits a little high, but I'll fix that soon.
More to come soon so keep an eye out! "thumbsup"
