That would be awesome 6x6 defender!! Hate that u had a piece for your first jeep!! Thanks for making videos!! Going try find some styrene today!! Awesome that ya take time to reply!! You have some good ideas going 👍 and awesome builds!!
That's awesome man looking forward to this build!! I'm a jeep man myself,,, owned a few YJs in the past !! I love a jeep 👍👍I have a 2015Jk now!! That I'm going try make an RC look like my 1/1 jeep!! But would love get TF2 SW !! Like have the beast as well tho got to pic and choose on my budget!! But man love your builds,, we seem have same interest in Rc world haha!! I agree Rc4wd makes the scale rides I like! Also love your tool box looks like my real one at the shop!!
+EVIN TACY Man I use to love jeeps but my first one was a 2011 JKu and it was a piece. bone stock with death wobble, wiring issues(my harness melted under the fuse block) and loose headlights. I keep adding stickers to my scale toolbox to look like my real ones (not snap on though:/) This is a neat little chassis but its not going to be a performer. That beast 2 is well, a beast. I just dont like that it is 1/14. I would get one and make a 6x6 defender. Call it the D180 lol. Thanks for watching sir!
Hey bud. you have probably figured this out by now but the catching you are experiencing is that the srew that is closest to the drivelines that mounts the transfer case is called out to be an 8mm screw. It is too long. I noticed the catching and replaced that one with a 6mm screw and now it is smooth as butter. Hope this helps.
Looks good so far. I'm building a yj also. I bought the RCMODELex yj frame for that vary problem of the tf2 swb frame not working well with better shocks,bumpers or ease of mounting the body. The RCMODELex frame also comes in steal with steal front and rear bumpers with rear spare mount. I'm going to put rc4wd k44 axles under it. keep up the good work, love your vids!
+Collin Patterson Ive been real interested in RCmodelex lately. Maybe if I win the powerball lol. I just like this chassis because its true to scale leaf sprung. I had made a shortened bruiser chassis for a YJ many years ago and have missed it. Thanks for watching!
+Josh Dutton (RC Everyday) Yea I hear you on the scale. I like the RCmodelex stuff and it can be expensive, but well worth the money. As for the leaf springs I also love leafed trucks. my tf2 is still leafed with a RCmodelex front bumper. The yj im building will be leafed. I forgot to mention that. It will require some fabrication, but i'm ok with that to get a scale looking yj on leafs.
+Josh Dutton (RC Everyday) It's vary nice sorta heavy but well made. Only thing is you have to make a custom mount for it and drill it out for what winch you want but it looks awesome on my tf2.
I still have this chassis, just has an isuzu amigo body on it now. Its no the best rock crawler but makes a great trail truck. Ive been wanting to build another with the YJ body.
i‘m thinking to buy this chassis. i want to rebuild my landcruiser hzj 71. i need to order the body 3d printed. i hope the axles aren‘t too wide. i want the car to be as realisticly close to my real car. maybe i can narrow the stance with the right offset wheels.
How did that transfer case binding up work out for you? I just bought my first Kit a Gelande 2 , d-90 and when I hook up the coupler from the transmission to the transfer case the transfer case bonds up a bit and turns rough when I try to roll the truck back and forth by hand. I was sent a new transfer case from RC4WD but same problem , is this normal? Thanks really like your channel
That isnt normal at all. Only thing I can think of causing it to turn rough would be bad pinion angles. If the driveshafts coming out of the transfer case are too steep an angle going to the axles it can cause binding. But on a stock kit truck it really shouldnt. Also check the shaft from the trans to the transfer case, if it is the slightest bit crooked it might cause binding as well. (I have had that happen before) Just loosen the bolts on the trans and transfer case and then tighten the shaft before tightening everything back up. Hope that helps buddy.
cool lol i got the jeep body from u i miss the hell out of that shell bro. i am now building another yj .traded the shell but funny enough i ended up trading back for my buddies swb tf2 but the hlguy i traded wouldnt let the shell go so i am waiting on rpphobby to deliver all the jeep body and parts so i can make one loved the top detail on the one i got from u .
Cool.....! I say for the color a gunmetal grey with a tan top and tan interior. Mmmm yeah! Can't wait to see more man. I like that size tires and, i agree with ya 1.55 all the way not a 1.9 jeep.
Yeah ..same here, something about the square headlights maybe.. dono but I love these yj's myself. I have a 4 door already built but Im nozeing around looking for a scale short wheelbase chassis for this same Tamiya cc01. And although rc4wd stuff is nice, I think its a bit overpriced for what you get. I think now in 2020 its at 389$?. Still overpriced for no body or nothing else LOL.
Josh you was talking about paint color.... did you know that you could get any exact factory paint color put in a aerosol can. Auto Value is the store that can do that.. Kinda pricey but worth it if you want that scale look. Auto Value is nation wide so there should be one where you live..
+Nick Walter I had seen a place do that on mighty car mods in Australia but never here. Just looked them up, there are several but they are all an hour and a half south of me. May have to check it out. Ive been google searching YJ just looking for a color that jumps out. Thanks for the info!
get rid of them ugly side steps tamiya molded into the body an for tires (using my Darth Vader voice) come to the dark side my son...MICKEY THOMPSON 1.7 BAJA CLAW TTC RADIAL SCALE TIRES. I believe that would be the perfect size your looking for an it's a radial so it will give it that street/trail look your going for.
+Josh Dutton (RC Everyday) I don't think your going to have to worry about flex with this truck lol, get to hacking up the body!!! (crazy man eye's). oh an the parts that hold the leaf springs on the axles are to help it from snapping springs
Inspired to try one of these builds. The scale side of rc crawling is calling to me. Thanks for sharing.
You're building almost non stop, 24/7! Another build, hooray! Always fun to watch, thumbs up!
I enjoy all your videos. definitely will be watching this build. been thanking about getting one of these.
+Mike Diffenderffer Thanks for watching! I am still having mixed feelings about it. Its going to be tricky to mod.
That would be awesome 6x6 defender!! Hate that u had a piece for your first jeep!! Thanks for making videos!! Going try find some styrene today!! Awesome that ya take time to reply!! You have some good ideas going 👍 and awesome builds!!
+EVIN TACY I just picked up some more styrene yesterday for my pop up camper build. Thanks for watching brother.
That's what I'm doing now! Keep us updated on that trailer I think it's going be sweet!! See ya on the next video bud👍

+Collin Patterson Thats why I was always hesitant to get one. Didnt know how much work it was to mount.
Love my 95 yj Sahara...looking to build a 1/10 with leaf springs. Let me know how this works out. Thanks.
I still have this chassis, just has an isuzu amigo body on it now. Its no the best rock crawler but makes a great trail truck. Ive been wanting to build another with the YJ body.
Nice Jeep. Did you ever do a video on the tracker? Where ya get that body? What chassis did ya use? Looks nice as well.
Sweet a new build

+Barry Runion Im considering cutting the top off. But definitely 1.55s on it. Still havent picked a direction for this build.
+Race730 I put my GCM 1.7s on it and still think they look a little big. I just need to find a way to change the offset on my 1.55s

Where did you get the YJ body? I thought Tamiya discontinued it.
Ive bought several on amazon. I dont know for sure if the re-release has been discontinued or not.
Where can I find the rest of this build?
I swapped it to the green Isuzu amigo body. Have the full build on here still.
@@RCeveryday that’s why I couldn’t find it LoL. Thanks
I’ll watch the Isuzu build
where’d you get the yj body !!???
Its a tamiya body that came on the CC01 chassis. Havent seen many around in a while for sale.
Whats the wheel base on this truck?
242mm
@@RCeveryday thanks man
i have a lexan interior u can use if ya want it. you can see it on my old jeep videos.
+Ray Wallace I am waiting on my jeep wrangler dash to come from overseas before i start doing a styrene interior for it.
What year did this come out
The truck or the video? I think the tf2 swb has been around for 5-6 years now.
@@RCeveryday I bought it years ago ,trying to remember what year
What year it came out,I believe 2011
ohh yeah.. we need to do a jeep convoy video now. build a trailer hitch ive got a trailer for ya.
