That's the first time I have seen a realistic looking suspension set up for this model. Mine is an SAS version however so needs a very soft suspension to simulate the very heavily loaded SAS jeep. Is there a suitably soft shock that looks the same? I would also highly recommend fitting a micro servo into the figures chest, mounting the head directly into the spindle and connecting it with a 'Y' lead into the steering wheel servo. You will need an in line reversing unit as well. The difference the head turning with the steering wheel makes is significant and always gets the most comments.
If I asked you nice enough would you please print me all of your 3D printed parts and I will pay you for your work. The willys jeep is my all time favourite vehicle, even up to today 😊 Ps……you’re 3D printed parts are amazing 😮 you have great talent.
Thank you. If you drop us a line at modderbuggs@gmail.com I’m sure that we can sort you out. If you get stuck before the build videos we can help too. 😁👍
Frankly, I'm practically speechless - these are a list of eminently well thought-out modifications. Some, such as painting the light reflectors, take more time than money and offer a huge 'return' for that time. Others, such as the 3D printed longitudinal roof bars for the canvas tilt, are a triumph of ingenuity. And where you have put money into the Jeep, such as the leaf-spring conversion, you've spent that money wisely. Good work all around!
Thank you Del. I’m pleased with the changes I made to this. And surprisingly it actually performs better (in our view) than the stock 4-link suspension - which felt all kinds of wrong to us 😂🤣
@@RCModders I remember being into full-size Suzuki SJ410s, and, despite their tremendous ability, yearning for coil springs. Yet now I deplore the fact that my WPL and MN Models FJ40 and 45s all have coils. It really is wrong! I love the 1:12 FMS Series IIA Land Rover.
I'm so happy to see someone do an under axle leaf spring conversion for a change! It looks like you had to make some custom hangers for the leaf springs, is there a way to purchase these? 🤓
I don’t think this requires any parts. Just trimming. If you email us at modderbuggs@gmail.com we can send pictures we took while we this via WhatsApp. This allows the drivers head height and seating position to be a lot better.
Very nice scale mods and performance improvements. Bravo!
You and Hal have done it again with these upgrades Pete. Very well done guys👍🏽
Many thanks!🙏😁
Very nice upgrades is very realistic now

Many thanks for your kind comment. 😁

Where did the low profile seat mod come from?
