Losi MRC to Scale Unimog

[TexasSP]

Basically this project started out with a unimog body with the losi MRC and an L-trail scale chassis I got from a guy at rccrawler. MY original intention was to make a waterproof scale truck but a little has changed.

First the body that came with it had a paint job which was jacked up on one side. I tried sanding it down and fixing it but still was not happy so I have scrapped it (have some ideas for it still though. I also had built a bed out of styrene to fit the stock wheelbase but was not happy with the length for a unimog. To me a unimog should be short and stubby.

So now I have a new unimog body and will use the waterproof electronics for another scale vehicle as this one is too light to do what I want. I have shortened the wheelbase of the MRC by about 1" and cut off the shock mounts. I will now mount the upper shock to the wheel well of the unimog chassis. I will have some good pictures up later but here is a pick of the body I am using (which will be painted a different color) to give an idea of the look. It's a dump bed too which I am tempted to rig to a servo.



I also plan on LED's in the light bar and giving it a rescue truck theme.
