Building an RC sixth scale Jeep

Excellent wrap-up and videos. Lucky for us, you don't have plastic for brain, just plastic on the brain. And you do great work with.

Damn man, that really came together beautifully. The spare tire rack is slick as hell, and I love the pepper tail lights. They look perfect. And so cool that the driver's head is it's own control. That is such a fun feature. And the butcher block tool box is such a great detail. Seriously impressive man!

Excellent work, Dadrab. I’m with the Rev, nice tire rack, and the pepper lights was inspired. Love the part in the first video with the slow-motion where you can see the “driver” turn his head, and then the close-up home shots where you can see the steering wheel move. Awesome engineering.

Your jeep turned out amazing, great job!

It's been great having you along, Peter. Many thanks for the continuous encouragement. It was (and still is) a lot of fun. I've almost finished building a second one. One of these days, I'll toss an encapsulation of that build up here. Lots and lots of photos.

Thank you very much, GF. This kind of stuff makes sense to me. And, yep, I reckon I do suffer from plastic on the brain sometimes. One of the reasons I don't do many projects is because I get totally absorbed in it until it's finished. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I have to be very careful not to let other things slide. Slippery slope, you know.

You're too kind, Rev. Thank you, sir.

I'm sure you know the feeling when an idea pops into your head and it just works so well you have to act on it. Many times it's very simple things, like the rack hinge. I'd been beating myself up for days trying to figure it out and had walked away. When I went back and took a look again, the answer was just there and I figure the rest of the Jeep will fall apart around that hinge. It's stout. Glad you liked the light lens, too.

Many thanks for sticking with this one, Stryker. In real time, it took me well over a year to build...little here and a little there. Special thanks for the comments on the pepper tip lights. That one turned out one of my favorite parts of the whole thing. Reminds me of the lenses for a '59 Cadillac.
