military 8x8 recovery unit semijoe/russisloud build

[semijoe]

me and russi is doing a combind build for rc4wd

russi made the chassis and boom
and i will do the rest.

i got the the chassis back from russi, looking pretty good

ive added high torque rc4wd servos and a diecast c-15 cat engine

the engine in these type units went in the rear or the front. in the front the engine was installed sideways

Any ref pics of the rig your using as a guide?Like the setup so far....

its a usmc lav-r i have to make some changes but it will be pretty kool

 

[semijoe]

the boom i have to lift another 32 mm. this is pretty close to being at the scale

in the fender rails i gave it alittle detail.

the fenders are made of alum and plastic

also started on the nose of it. while building it i have to keep it mind that it has to be able to come apart.

engine compartment is going to be kool when im done with it
