daniels needs a home for a 500kv ROC 412 or Suzuki Jimney goes RECON G6

[daniels]

Today I ordered a bunch of Tamiya Upgrades for M05/M06 and MF01X.
It will be interesting to see of al the stuff will be usefull

And then I found bent Axial links - and at the moment I believe this will be a very little effort way to stiffen my chassis!

Any thoughts and cments highly welcome!
The look is not so sexy

I'm happy to see this body avail, would have been nice for them to put it on solid axles but still not a bad looking little kit. I like the way you are going about the build also man it looks good.

Today I had some time to close the rear frame!
Jimny shall look tidy

 

[daniels]

I have been discussing with my Stonerockers Austria friend trialpsycho what we can do to make a better steering.

Inspired by his design for the XC/CC01 he fabed something for me and him and put it in the mail today.

*excited*

I ordered many nice parts to make the suzuki what I want it to be - and as allways they show up - and I am on a 3 day trip for work! More updates on the weekend!

It needs some softer springs - and little bit more weight upfront!

Man I love that thing! Could I get a couple measurements on that body? Wheelbase and width at fenders F&R? wondering if just getting a body and sitting it on cheapie solid axle crawler would yield good results at near same price of the kit.

Got one more Video of running the jimny on the trail:

Looks good man, might need bit of weight in front wheels for those hills lol.

Thank you!
Yes it is planend to shift the weight more to the front!

 

[daniels]

Next step is to take it apart and rebuild it with some goodies

I hope this doesnt sound bad but I cannot believe how capable that thing is, I figured the stock chassis would be useful for a street truck and thats about it.

 

[daniels]

Took a new gearbox and finally was brave enough to cut the useless rear part away! To make it stronger again i drilled a hole and will use a longer screw to an existing hole for the motorplate!

The plan is to finish a RECON G6 on 5th of december
