FREEDOM83

Well, after a few years pick and shovel trying to get one of the two loose chassis of this very exclusive version of Rcmodelex that I asked for two friends, one of them is still in process and has passed through the hands of other bend work of frind and this one I have finally managed to buy it, along with all the material in the photos, gear head rims ,1.55 tires, pitbull tires... two hpi planetary reduct , mirrors and rubber snorkel rcmodelex etc etc, all brand new, he even gave me the threaded rod and aluminum tube for make the links… tamiya cabin with rc4wd bed…. Well I leave the photos and you know … soon and little by little the progress:

And now , the most tedious task , at least for me , of this project . Although I will take an rc4wd cabin, because this one from tamiya looks like a colander, there are now no Marlin version beds, so I have to cut and paste, since it is not the first thing I do, I already know what to do and what not to do, Let's see if it's better than the last one hehehehehe

Electronics on your site, as I have links made that there does not bother me




And some internal wheel arches , the rear ones finished , the front ones I have the molds made , I am missing the plastic I know I have run out






The front ones are already drying

More parts have arrived, for now I have been able to adjust front links including panhard and its support.
Definitely, I will put smaller tires, it will go very low and with Currie axles, with the pitbulls it rubs when going wider than with yota axles.

I already have the right tires, on Monday they were sent by FANATIC and on Thursday they delivered the package to me in Spain, excellent as always





Comparing with 1.9 Krawlers

The quality of the screws and the aluminum and its machining are excellent, but with the price they have and seeing the rest of the manufacturers, putting plastic rims seems like a ****ty thing to me, it happens to me like with the Vanquish rims KIT. At 1000€ they could really put aluminum...

Second color in progress, nothing to do with what you see in the photo, it's a three-coat and until the varnish is done you will not see the authentic color ... if someone knows the paint 1 /1 , it will know what color it is...hehehe

It's going to have to repeat the painting, it has many flaws and the dark gray should be gray not blue, but in September the painter is going on vacation, so I'll take advantage of August for the last adjustments to the wheel arches at the expense that they reach me the slw185 hexagons of locked-up:
