I believe this might be the only thing that beats my current Axial motorhome project on the awesomness scale. Awesome idea, and even awesomer outcome!
Very astute! I actually never even drove the Gremlin in stock form. This is completely custom built on a Double-J products chassis. I wanted to replicate what a '74 Gremlin X would look like on 2 1/2 ton Rockwells, with 48" tires.
And if I ever find a suitable Gremlin body, I'm gonna build the real deal!
Both of 'em. I primarily use this for Rock crawling/trail riding and mudding. So the locked diffs are essential. I wish someone would make a scale "air locker" for the front diff, though.
That thing is sooo kick ass man.How hard was it to adapt the Gremlin shell to the R/C frame? I wanna do that with my own R/C Gremlin.I had a 73 Gremlin shell that I was gonna bolt on a jeep frame but i ran outta money and junked it :(
Actually, not that hard. It was getting the trans and axles to work with the chassis that was the trickiest part. I'm still perfecting the four-link and shock angles. I've also gone through four different sets of shocks trying to find ones that work the best.
cool

This was completely custom built by me on an after market chassis, using HPI Wheely King Axles and transmission.
Cost... More than you wanna know! I've done a lot to it since this video was taken. I've got over $800 in it right now.
