Metal wheels, brass rings & 1.3 inch tyres from DJCrawler. Light kit for front & rear from FMS C2029. Needed male to male mini JST connector cable. 3.75" driver figure. 3D printed wider arches.
Thank you. The tyres are very soft & sticky. I thought there was just a little too much green so made the most of the wood grain. Thanks for watching & commenting. 👍
Well crawled, sir! And what a lovely Mog you've made. The metal (steel?) wheels put the weight right where it's needed, and the wider arches don't make the truck look like a cartoon - in fact, I wouldn't have noticed at all if you hadn't mentioned them. Did you sit there and laboriously model that wood grain yourself? If so...congratulations! It looks tremendous.
Hello Del. The wheels are aluminium. But I put some brass rings in for good measure. It weighs a scale ton lower down now. Luckily it seems Unimogs can have subtly different arches in full scale. So wider looks fine within reason. I would like to take the credit for the wood. But it's molded like that. Just don't see it in flat body colour. There seemed to be just a little too much green as standard. It's a really effective small crawler. Hoping for a proper excursion tomorrow. 👍
@@RC3DPrintAdventure I thought you might've printed a replacement bed - odd how the stock flat green conceals the texture so well on screen. It's got proper low gearing!
It's a great little crawler with the extra wheel weight. I took it for a proper spin today. Just set the throttle speed & it crawls up anything. Only need to concentrate on the lines! I've been thinking of another modification for the bed. The camper box has been done a lot already for this model. I thought about a tow truck crane?
@@RC3DPrintAdventure I love it when you have a good enough ESC to allow you to just creep along, thinking only about lines. The tow truck look is really cool for a trail truck or crawler,vans I think a Unimog tow truck would look marvellous. One reason I've never done it is the thought of either breaking the job, if I were to make it from something like styrene, or breaking i's mountings to the chassis. But this is so small that, a bit like a Matchbox car, perhaps it can tumble down a slope without collapsing.
