Well, i hope im right here with this thread...

I was lucky to get one of the lastest Tamiya VW Kübel 1/16 RC. 2 Weeks ago i start to buildt.



Here you can see the original Tamiya RC Box ( black ) . The Funktion of this is horroble, like an cheap toy. Klick-Klack, Fullspeed-stop



The Gearbox, also the Batteriebox is good



I just cut of the two black condansators, i don´t need this with the new electrical



For Speedcontrol i use an flymotec ( CTI ) Thor 4s, also an 6 Chanal Micro Reciever. The Batteries are some 4 Cell Size AAA 1000mAh with 4,8 Volt. An old Servoplug i use as Chargeplug now



right behind the rear axle



Maximum chargespeed with this is 1 Amp.



At the next step i modified the steering



For this i use an Mikroservo, Graupner DS 248. This little thing has power enough for this funktion.

I just has to cut out some parts



Here we go, now it looks like this and it works great.



You can see the Mechnics are very small



The complette Chassie, ready to run

Now i was buildt the body. I modified this also. I cut out the doors and make this movable











Than i was modified some details

Cut of the non scale Bumper in the Front



Modified the Mirror and Waver ( ? ) Sorry, my english sucks



Add holder with can



Put in some light



Yeappiiiieeee it works





At least i want to have an driver so a friend of my spend my an old figur, wich was very horroble

Now we come to the last step.

Out of an Revell 1 / 16 Kit ( VW Beetle ) i buildt the engine und put this into the Kübel.



Now i was airbrushing it
Finish
