My Wreckluse !!!
 

This is a little project I have been working on for about 3 months. When I first saw the RCP Wreckluse I knew I had to pick one up. I haven't had a 2.2 scaler in about 2 years, I have been running the 1.9 stuff. My plans are for a full interior, Scaleoffroad working Warn winch, and alot of other scale goodies. O yea I frickin HATE styrene. :lol:

I just need to sandblast the chassis and get it powder coated silver.

The chassis after powdercoat.

Nice job so far. :yes: Can't wait to see it finished!

That is SO sick. Excellent work!

Thanks guys !!!

wow that thing is going to be awesome. Well its awesome now but I cant imagine it once you get it completed.

So this is what you're doing with your time while the SC8e collects dust awaiting completion? :mdr:

No waiting on the guy to finish the parts up and I am working on a RC8e as well. It will be powered by a MMM / 2650 KV Castle combo on 4s. I am going to use Mike's RC8 conversion, JR 8711 steering servo,and a Spektrum SR3500 rx.

awesome build. If my hands worked better I would for sure build a scaler. I looked into those winches, wow! Spendy! But soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin' cool!

That is sweet Chip...well done!

Thanks, the winch is kinda spendy but it's the cool factor. There is a cheaper version out now but you get what you pay for.
Thanks man !!!

Looking good Chip! Look like your styrene skills are getting pretty good... I am too lazy for that, I just buy a toy body with full interior!

I am liking the styrene myself. It is forcing me to be disciplined and take my time. My unimog will take a while, much slower than your build. I just can't wait to be out of an apartment and have real build space for my projects.

Your build is looking mighty fine Chip, and your avatar always makes me laugh!

I have been working on some aluminum body panels so when it smashes into a rock I get dents. ;-) The chassis kit comes with lexan body panels which would be very easy to paint and pull the over spray film off.

Nice job on those panels. :yes: I think you just convinced me to build a tube chassis for my Berg...

Thanks man :yes:

I got the frame mounted servo all finished and the steering is complete.

All the body panels are powder coated except for the lexan hood.

Very nice. When is the maiden voyage??

Whenever I can get lincpimp out of his shop. :yes:

That thing is mean as fawk!!! Very nice build.

Thanks man, I still have a good bit of work to do before it is 100% finished.

HA, anytime Chippy. I have some 2.2 stuff that is ready to crawl, and Zach recently redid the rock course at his house. I am free for the next few weekeds, till the 7th when I get to play lumbejack at my dad's house!

BTW, the truck looks good. I will be interested to see how well the chassis mounted servo works.

Next Saturday sounds great James. The chassis mount servo is pretty good but I do have a small amount of bump steer.

Just a little update !!!!
 

Since I started this build I have been looking for a grill that would look great on the Wreckluse. I haven't had any luck at all I made one from styrene which I didn't care for the looks. I also tried a Scale Shop grill and it did not like the way it fit. So a few days ago I made one from the same aluminum that I made the body panels from and after a little powder coat this is what I came up with.

I also built a 3rd interior, I like this one alot more. I just need to finish painting it and put in the shifters and seats.

Chip, I must say that this build looks better than any factory set up I've seen...well done

I got most of the electronics in today and put the body panels back on the shelf queen.

The big toggle switch is the on/off switch. The two short switches will work the head lights, rock lights, and main power switch for the winch.

Looking good! Pretty slick how you did the switches, I may steal that idea from you in the future.

Stunning....

Go right ahead :yes: I picked the idea up from someone else.

Funny guy.
Thanks man !!!

Dash is done just need to add the white face gauges.

Very nice.

Thanks man.

That is so cool! You did a great job on it. Looks like you just raised the bar for a build like that. Me I guess I will wait till this thread is long gone before I attempt anything similair. I am very impressed with your detail and just love the dent feature. Do post up some pics when you get the first dent in it. Nice job Chip!

Thanks man, will do.
