Some test driving of my Mog. This r/c model is completely scratch built apart from cab and tires and features portal axles, 6 speed gearbox, prototypical drive train, ladder frame with tubular torque cross-members, self-locking Torsen differentials (rear, center, front).

how much has the uni mog set you back so far? i love it.. keep up the great work.. are you thinking on putting on some LED's and perhaps a sound module.. ?

In time or cash? :-) Yes, the Mog will become some head and tail lights when time permits. Cheers for your positive comment.

[ekstc]

both.. time and cash!

[makau70]

Time so far spent: about 400 hours

Cash spent so far: about 800 Euros (cab was most expensive part... in the year 2k about 200 Euros, today it costs about the double...)

don't give up.. it's excellent.. hope to see more vid's of it when it's finished!

[makau70]

Cheers mate. I share your hopes :-)

[makau70]

Cheers. I do like the portals because I made them myself :-) jokin aside, they come in really handy when running through real scale landscape due to the higher ground clearance. Hard to get stuck.

I like it! your off to a good start. how do you like the portals?

[makau70]

Due to missing skip, there's some weight missing, leading in a lack of traction on the rear axle. The rock compensates for it.

why do you have a rock on the back of it?
