Great video bro. Jimny looks awesome. Seems like people liked the tires and wheels. Disappointed did get to see it running on this video. Maybe on the next one. 👍👍👍🤣
Thanks for the tips. That servo was a booger. Even after trimming. Glad I found a long enough bolt for that steering also. Just waiting on my tires now.

Thank you for making such an informative video. Really want to do this build but have been nervous as I'm jot sure how to do some things but this has helped no end! 👏👍
Oh man that is a great truck and lets face it. What you did? Needed to be done. IMO .. I am digg'in that paint as well. I use the Kyrlon paints as well. Works good. I used the Metallic Aluminum on the rims of the SCX6. 😉Seems to hold pretty good. Time will tell. Anyway bud. great work once again. Thumbs up here
Awesome job! Looks fantastic. Want to mod mine in similar way. I really need a driver but can't sort out what to get. Do you have a link or name or anything you can share for your driver dude?
Good lookin' rig bro. Hey, does Mick hate me or did he die or something? I haven't been able to contact him for over a year. Stay well bro. -"Angry" Dave
@@RCVOODOO LMFAO! That's hilarious. I'll bug him like crazy. He'll answer eventually just to tell me to fu*k off, lol. Thanks bro, stay well. -"Angry" Dave
great video. just picked one up. started the axle swap.going to throw in a 1080. is the stock motor able to change gearing?i wold like to swap the motor to a holmes 550 can and lower the gearing.
@@RCVOODOO yes different smaller pinion gear, is this motor mounted on a slot so u can change gearing, i havent seen any videos where people changed the motor and or gearing
@@daveanderson8404 I put an axe system in with super dmooth slow crawl but it would rip if I wanted. But I never did drive like that. Always nice and slow and realistic
Here is the thing I hate about raising up a rc rock crawler . When you do this this puts the weight of the rig even higher above the axles . In doing this the incline is even less for roll overs . Try to keep weight as close as possible to the the axle . Axles are the center or 0 CG . Any weight above the axle is top heavy and prone to roll overs . Raising a rig is just stupid . Now if a person needs to raise a rig it is best to change out the axle to portal axles this does do two things it raises the axles for clearance from debris and raise the rig also . Adding wheel weights always helps . There are a lot of people that thinks a rock crawler are mud trucks . They are not the same at all . Here in Southern IL we dont have rocks to crawl on . It's mostly farm land DIRT until it rains then it is MUD driving across creeks is all mud . The only rock formations is in the Shawnee National Forest . There are some nice places there to rock crawl . My friends like those Mud tires . I like skill so I use Rock Tires when I take my rigs out for a walk . They do well in light mud and do great on rocks . Mud tires do one this well and that is to swim in mud and horrible on rocks .
Raising this rig does very little to the cog not to mention its straight shit in stock form. I believe we all know about COG. your opinion is yours. raising a rig is not stupid. Making it more capable with more flex. the give and take on COG is far outweighed by the benefits. What are you talking about portals... No one wants portals on a jimny. This is a TRAIL TRUCK not a rock crawler. You have bad vibes bro.
Great video bro. Jimny looks awesome. Seems like people liked the tires and wheels. Disappointed did get to see it running on this video. Maybe on the next one. 👍👍👍🤣
I got some video of it running. Will upload soon. Thanks for the wheels and tires.! They really were the icing on the cake

Awesome rig man. Thanks for the info on paints. I have always used tamiya and find it expensive. I am glad You shared this.
I use Tamiya on lexan, but hard bodies I always use krylon
So cool! I have one coming Thursday and I'm definitely going to paint it.
Nice

Loving it. What size tires are these? Trying to figure out what size looks best for my build.

Great video, and that build is FANTASTIC!!
What tire is that specifically? They look like EXACTLY what I've been searching for!
its the 1/6 scale FMS Suzuki Jimny
Awesome job beautiful 🧑🔧🧰🛠⚒️
Thanks bud
This is one of the trucks you brought to USTE, right?
Yep
Awesome job! Looks fantastic. Want to mod mine in similar way. I really need a driver but can't sort out what to get. Do you have a link or name or anything you can share for your driver dude?

1/6th scale DiD or Damtoys figures fit very well. There is no need to remove the feet from them.

I made my own using leds from Amazon

Where did you obtain those ball end spacers? I did an Internet search but I got so many returns I don’t know where to start…
Just some old Traxxas ball ends I think. I Just popped them out of some old links in the parts bin.
@@RCVOODOO Parts bin? That, I have! 👍
Great job. Where did you get the driver?

great video. just picked one up. started the axle swap.going to throw in a 1080. is the stock motor able to change gearing?i wold like to swap the motor to a holmes 550 can and lower the gearing.
Do you mean different pinion? I don't see why not. I've also changed motors in them before
@@RCVOODOO yes different smaller pinion gear, is this motor mounted on a slot so u can change gearing, i havent seen any videos where people changed the motor and or gearing
@@daveanderson8404 after thinking about it I dint recall there being an adjustable mount for pinion changes. I can't check because I'm on vacation
@@RCVOODOO what motors have u tried in this rig? i want slow crawling so maybe a 45t or55t 550 can motor. did u mod yours to go faster or slower
@@daveanderson8404 I put an axe system in with super dmooth slow crawl but it would rip if I wanted. But I never did drive like that. Always nice and slow and realistic
what size is the driver 1/6 or 12" or 6"?
i always buy these. then you can change the head to whatever you like if you want amzn.to/3pN4hNe

How did you go about painting the grill?
Painted it with spray paint once it was disassembled
@@RCVOODOO can the grill be removed or did you just taped the parts you didn't want painted
@TheReview Guy I guess it would be easy to tape it off and paint it. I completely disassembled mine to do walk the painting
@@RCVOODOO ok thanks
