Nice work , how small is the ESC ? and do you cut down the all the cables to tidy up the electrics as its a tight space to work in ?

Re: Desert kubelwagen, static to rc build.
Thanks ronnie, I use a small 30amp esc from china, they are only a few pounds and are quite hardy in these small vehicles I find. I also use a receiver without the hard case and just heat shrinked as this also saves a lot of space, you'll be surprised when all the wiring is folded up neatly how much room there actually is in there, I can even fit a small lipo in as well

It's a lovely model. Much too good for me to experiment on!

Love the video. Can’t wait to see it all weathered up.

Re: Desert kubelwagen, static to rc build.
Thank you Jimster I must try and download a video editor to make better clips rather than the basic one's that I do now. I'm happy with how the kubel has developed from a static kit to a decent little rc run around
