It now runs & steers, I still need to sort the std Jeep wheels out so the Bruiser wheels will have to do for the momentImage
I know it’s messy, I need to mount the motor further away from the front & find where to hide the electronics but here you go..

That is totally awesome!
You should build 2! 1 with those wheels and tyres as a old skool offroad comp vehicle and then another with Military spec up.
I think you need some WW2 parts like a 50 cal and mount in the back and maybe a 30cal fender mount on the passenger side haha
That's a really neat installation. can't wait to get started on mine.

Yeah I wasn’t sure. I will email them.

Not heard back from the website about the HG P407, slightly annoying as I fancy one from the U.K - probably buying a kit rather than rtr.

Any updates from you chaps?

I bought it RTR and did a video or two, posted in the HL Truck Mods thread, did you catch those?

Well, no need to buy an HG P407 - I picked this up last night :)

I’ll get some details of the conversion tonight.

Leaf springs etc from a 1/10 crawler, figures etc.

Wow Ad Lav, that looks an awful lot like a G.I.Joe Jeep conversion. Spot on! Hi all, I'm very interested in the details of this conversion. Did you build this jeep yourself? The undercarriage looks fantastic. Please let us know.

We'll do a deal with you. If you pop over to the introduction section and let us know something about yourself, like how you got into this hobby, at what stage of the hobby you're in, and what models you have etc, I'm sure you'll be handsomely rewarded ;) :thumbup:
