This time, I applied the diamond plates on the rear fenders and the whole car became like those in the pics.

Exactly yes,! I do think so, Derek..!! {-) O0
You  do have a good vision....amazing !  But, don't take it so seriously and that is a kind of fashion or decoration for the car. {-) {-) {-)
 Even my wife also indicated that you had had better not to set the diamond plates, and it did not look well for
 the long working time......... :(( <:( The hobby work is such and such, isn't it ?? %%
Upon receiving the diamond plate sheet from a dealer, I was so much disappointed with the poor quality , to tell the truth.
I regret that I should have spent more money .... :embarrassed: <:(
 
Thank you for your funny comment. :D

Hi RC jeepers,
I have come back here after a while from my Hokkaido cruising tour by 1/1 car and 1/32 RCed Pt-109 boat both of which have been done quite well. :-)) :-))

Today I am referring to this jeep updating in two points.
One is an addition of simulated engine sound which is well-synchronized with the motor rev., though not shown here.
The other is an addition of 4 pieces of dust-free covers for shock absorbers which may be useful in trail run from my actual
experience so that I do recommend the RC crawler enthusiasts to adopt with. :-))

1,2/3/4; This engine sound speaker is comparatively small that it could be installed here with no modification at all.
5/6/7/8; These dust covers may be convenient and time saving when cleaning the shock absorbers after the run. :-))


Try them if you think it necessary to add in your cars. :-)) O0

Hi RC jeepers,
Here are the pics of my latest jeep equipped with a very realistic sound simulator with a large speaker. :-))
The sound synchronizes with running mode comparatively good.
I'll try it in the very near future in the field to confirm how good the sound is in the open air. O0

I went to a certain famous plateau of summer resort some 170 miles north of Tokyo together with my jeep.
It was really enjoyable and interesting to spend the time there in the summer resort different from the routine in the urban life. :-))
The jeep ran so well with the engine sound realistically in a calm air of the plateau under cloudy days due to an approaching tyhoon. :D O0
Are you also enjoying another life from time to time unlike usual model boating hobby life.?! {-) %%    :o
Or have you been mostly occupied by the boating, suffering from a fierce scold of your wife, like me...??? <:( :-X {-)
