Tamiya Wrangler YJ Part 2
Went out for a most enjoyable trail run.., was a little cool to start (following the cold river) but slowly warmed up. The sun coming thru the trees was so great to see/ feel.
About time to through on another helper leaf to the rig.., nice and broke in.
The gcm trans makes this such a smooth rig to run! Few things to work on but really enjoyed this rig despite the hang ups of a short wheelbase.
Was a second hand buy from across the country. It was rough, broken & old but had some good strength left.
Still don’t know what chassis it is.
Axles had a broken pinion gear shaft.., took me a while and some money to locate what they were. Thought they were t-Rex d60’s but ended up being the d40’s.
Added a gcmracing lrt; modded to fit. Holmes Hobbies 5 slot 16t motor with hobbywing 1080.
Small 1.55 rc4wd Compass MT on 1.55 steelies. This configuration is fairly accurate as I don’t have the axles on top of leafs like a stock yj. Putting the axles under the leafs was a cheap lift mod to the yj’s.
Weathered body and added interior…, she’s got some good weight and a small wheelbase!
Driver is old man Logan (old man Logan graphic series).
