Here it arrived to France, My buddy GI JOE and its dog is happy to make the presentation of it





disassembling of the whole


cutting of the cap to open the driving compartment and to put at it the engine, the reduction, the battery, the brain, the variator and the receiver




cutting of the plastic bridges and various awkward things


assembly




assembly of test



assembly of the box of transfer after having adapted it, assembly of the support of limps out of aluminium, the support of origin would have is enough but not believing in it, I cut it






manufacture of the aluminium arch



here, now it any more but does not remain to manufacture longer Cardan joints, and to pose electronics. it remains me to await the reduction, the black bead lock and the shock absorbers coming from your country

I went to loosen up a little the studs(cramps) of the willys for the biggest pleasure of Joe which had naturally put his jacket not to be too much cold I accumulated behind at home a heap of big stones which allow me to try my RC, I took advantage of it to make some photos

Great job! Like many people here, I’ve always wanted a RC Jeep in a large scale like that. But I have ZERO skills in such things. Beats me why someone has never made a RC WW2 Jeep in that scale, you’d think they’d sell quite a bit among Jeep fans, 1/6 scale fans, and RC folks…
