Made some papercraft off the Axial site the other day (Axial Racing - Axial Recon G6 BDay Bash II Scale Papercraft Accessories) . This involves some tedious work, but these will definitely compliment the interior! "thumbsup" What could you use to coat/seal/prevent these from water/mud damage?

Hmmm, I wonder if you could clear plasti dip them?

Has anyone gotten the G6 JK kit? I am itching to build a kit and this one looks pretty trick.

Put in my new new GCM tcase in my class 1 tj to get some wheel speed back, and it made my rear driveshaft even shorter . Dang this thing is short.

Also got in the new GCM cross drilled shafts for both of my cases.

I would try a spray acrylic. For the first couple of coats just give it an extremely light dusting so it doesn't cause the ink to start to bleed.

How about painting them with elmers glue? It dries clear

If you will bring them with you I've got some tamiya clear I used to use on inkjet water slide decals.

I might just try that, just worried it will be too strong and mess up the detail to it. I will prob test that out in the next day or so, thanks man!

I assembled them with elmers glue, they feel pretty solid. However I did use some styrene for structural reinforcement. Will Elmer's glue on the outside dry clear and be strong enough?

Sounds good, hope it works out!

Laminate before assembly

I think the elmers glue would soften up if it got wet.

Would 1/4" diameter suspension links be overkill?

Yes they are overkill, but if you do it at least go with aluminum. I personally like 3/16th aluminum links more scale looking imo "thumbsup"

I scraped the idea of 1/4" links for the Frankenstein. I don't think the way I had planned to build them was going to be strong enough.

Well, with the order in process for a new G6 JK, I will finally be able to put my spare parts from the last build to good use!

Use 1\4 brake line with 8/32 all thread line to go inside of the brake line. With some ball end things. Super easy and fun.

I have a panhard question. Does it matter what the shape of the link is? If I put a straight link in it runs parallel with my steering link, but it will hit the axle pumpkin under suspension compression.

Both of my panhards are bent on my truggy. Not hurting the suspension.

Getting ready for the comp!

Shape does not matter, it transfers loads from point to point no matter the shape.

Thanks for the panhard information. Now, back to the bench and more building.

Did anyone do any tinkering over the snow day?
