I cut off the stock inner fenders and made all new shock towers, inner fenders and body mounts just for this body so it can be screwed on and no exposed body clips etc. this is the body I'll be using

it's a hummer concept vehicle. I found it on a Toys R Us r/c.


NEWEST PICS:

I made the top glass into a removable access hatch (velcro :) so I could charge the battery and turn it on and off easier.

[hdmm]

That is very cool!

[crawler_king]

Ok where did the body come from I know I have seen the RTR toy grade but cant remember where.. I think that is the only modern hummer that I like.. looks killer!

[Blazerbogger]

WOW! This is some top notch work! It looks like a factory setup. I really dig your work.

[chopper5]

Beautiful! it all lines up perfect!!

[crawler_king]

I went to TRU's online site and the only one they showed was the 1/16th version is that the one you build off of? or did you find a 1/10th sized Hx?

[McFig]

Saw this on the other site, but I just can't get enough of it. Great build. Love the body and innovation in the build.

[Moondoggie]

Wow! You've done some excellent work on this thing! Can't wait to see some more pics of this... :dance:

[Wyoming]

A very nice piece of custom work :thumb:, only way I see it could be improved upon would be if it was a Jeep :D

That's some nice work there! I am usually not the biggest fan of blue parts showing on scale trucks, but in this case it looks really good! ;)

Keep it up!:)

[Brooknam117]

when i grow up ( i am 40LOL) i want to be just like you!!
Seriously though great work so far!!!!

[Blazerbogger]

:yikes: Those are some insane hop up parts! You couldn't have picked a more perfect tire for it too. Looks absolutely gorgeous! I'd like to see how it handles.

[Wyoming]

Very clean quality work, nice job.

[kingcobracustoms]

thanks guys!!! I was soo glad to finally find a forum that is dedicated only to the XC/CC01... it's just ours!!! muhahahahah

I'll be around here a LOT from now on :)

[McFig]

Like I said before. I love this build. I'm a fan of the concept Hummer HX.

On the blue. I like it all except the front bumper. Not wild about that one part, but the rest looks great.

[kingcobracustoms]

there will be more blue so prepare yourself lol...

[f20rox]

Love those tube shock mounts! Are they functional or are the shocks mounted to the "original" mounts. How did you attach those to the chassis without putting too much stress on the plastic?

Great build !

[kingcobracustoms]

update!!! finally got it painted... I wanted to do a fabtech based paint job but couldn't find any fabtech stickers anywhere... this will do :)

[Blazerbogger]

So much detail! Good idea painting the rear axle, it looks much better now. The paint job suits the truck much better too. What a sweet XC!

[kingcobracustoms]

here's a body off shot :)

[Blazerbogger]

All waterproof too! Again, awesome chassis setup. It looks like it'll perform well. When will we get a video?

[jepensedoucjsuis]

First Let me say this again... SWEET RIDE!
second: I have been having a ton of problems running that motor in my pajero, When I run this thing dry there is nothing better, with the 20t you get plenty of wheel speed and still enough power to flip it backwards on a hill if you are not careful about it. But every time water gets under the motor it shorts out and smokes like a French man. I used to run my fireball's submersed with out any problems, Any one else having that issue?

[crawler_king]

Wow.. I am speechless that is a thing of beauty!!!

[Wyoming]

I missed your updated pics somehow lol! but I just saw it in Rcdriver and must say it looks even more amazing now. Very clean and well thought out. :thumb:

[kingcobracustoms]

sorry..here are the latest pics... also check out the may issue if R/C Driver :) page 64

[Arcocustom]

Saw your truck in Driver. Wasn't a big fan of IFS but I am now! Where did you get the fairlead rollers?

[McFig]

That paint job is just as impressive as the whole truck.

Great work

[SMOKE-DOG]

Man that thing is too sweet. The nicest XC build I've seen in a while.

[Wyoming]

Also great to see it actually gets used/driven judging by the tires and bumper :thumb:

[slow1]

Awsome,that is a very nice rig :yahoo:

[CM_113]
