My Amigo Scaler Rebuild / Adventures

I got another deal from rcc. . . this time a used SXC10. . . which came with a hardbody Isuzu Amigo. .
I got a chance to finally rebuilld the rig. . . greased the axles and transmission. . . soldered the esc (thank you lance ) the shocks, well not yet. . . was too excited to repaint the hardbody. . .

this is the kit:

sxc10 with shortened links to fit the body. . . aluminum hubs,
3racing winch. . . . sidewinder esc, 45t motor, aluminum 1.9 beadlocks, custom front bumpers and some lights from a losi nightcrawler

and this is the harbody Isuzu Amigo


i had to disassemble the body for painting and took off some of the
adhesives with a lighter fluid


i got hold of some scaler accessories from bong and improvised some stuff . . .
and some Stickeez of course


now for the mocked up almost finished rig :








i used primer grey and black for paints available at ace. . . .
now i just need a proper roof rack. . . .

thanks for looking

nicey!

That's nice.. It's better now since I first saw it.. I think it's time for a photoshoot..hehe..

Looking great. I made some progress with my Pajero today also. I finished trimming and tidying up the wheel arches, and I have just this minute applied a thick and clumsy coat of ace primer. If the primer doesn't show up and major flaws, I will finish the truck in one of the Tamiya military greens or desert camo.

I look forward to getting all of these trucks together sometime in the new year.

UPDATE:

Got some desktop pen holder from hyperpanda for 5dhs. . . for my roof rack



and got some kids ponytail rubber holder for 3dhs . . .
and some paperclips for my bungee slings

and made use of an empty airgun mini canisters, and some cotton textile for sleeping bags. . .

and some spare 1.9 wheels, now i have a roof rack full of accessories. . .
