Early days really to post this thread but i have just got my first key parts and wanted to post it up. I will update as i go and with luck it will take less time then cxc is with his :laugh: Although it won't be anywhere near as detailed as that quality build, fact! as it's my first scale project. Maybe i'll go for a real detailed scale build next time when i know more what i'm doing. I have, what started life as an ax10 with all decent electrics, (novak esc and 55 motor, dx3 tx, lipos, etc) which will be a donor. I am even considering different axles now and i hav'nt even started :banghead: , but to start i'll carry on with the axial axles. I am sure there will be a lot of mind changing along the way. I don't even have any 1.9 wheels or tires yet. Two things that won't change are the hardbody yj and the toxic chassis that should be shipped out this week :nice: So here's what i'm starting with and everything else so far is subject to change :laugh: . Posted Image The aim is to make a semi scale of my 1:1. Posted Image As always any tips, ideas comments are always welcome. |

Thanks chaps :nice: I will certainly add pics as i go. There is a bit of trial and error, but hopefully after reading may a thread on scale builds not to much error. Don't suppose this build will be massively different from a lot of yj builds, apart from the fact it will be MY yj and my first one :laugh: CXC, i do have a few pics. I'll get some together and post some up in the 1:1 section. You know, i have never even seen a tamiya yj body before in the flesh and i am blown away by the detail, excellent! |

With that body and one of those "poisonous" chassis, you'll be in for a real treat. You're absolutely right in your thinking...the more you build, the more you'll learn - and there ain't nothin' wrong with that either. Axial make some nice stuff to work with, too. :nice: If you do decide to scrap those axles, shoot me a PM. |

This arrived yesterday (Thanks Justin @ toxic) :jeepy: I just put the springs on to see how it looked, so you will notice no nuts are on the screws. Posted Image I'll have a couple more pics up later of where i started to chop up the body and remove the hardtop :yiaks: Edited by Trent, Mar 20 2010, 06:52 PM.

A couple of shots of the body so far, My 1:1 yj originally came with a hard top which i removed and now run with a bestop soft top, keeping the stock full hard doors (hard stock half doors are as rare as hens teeth in the uk) although i do have some soft half doors. It took a while using a blade and cotton, but worked out ok...........apart from the slip with the knife that nearly took the top off my thumb :banghead: Posted Image I'll be keeping the hard top for those cold winters :laugh: Posted Image Edited by Trent, Mar 21 2010, 12:28 PM.

Thanks guys! Strangely i can't see where i'm going with this, or at least stick to a plan. I keep changing the goal posts each time i look at it. One minute i have a plan, the next it's out the window :yiaks: Not sure which tire, axles, transfer case etc it's driving me mad. Some things remain a given though, like the body/exterior. Here's what i managed to get done this weekend, aimed at my 1:1 rollcage, (which is based around the stock frame with additions), so this 1/10 is hopefully going to be pretty similar. There is a little more to do yet before the cage is finished, this is the main part done. The main frame ie stock yj cage section is 1/4" solid tube and the forward section 3/16" solid, i was going to use hollow to keep the weight down but decided to go with the strength of solid, all the next bits to come on this i will use 3/16 brakeline.
