oodboo Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 All in good time I'm moving house this weekend so I've been holding off on ordering stuff as it will need to go to the new address. Plus I might need to redirect some funds towards the move. I have plans though, the mog is far from finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Been busy moving house but I have claimed a bench in the garage and found my metal steering bits. Got an idea for some sliders as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 The unimog body has gone back on today, the civic body was fun for a bit but I prefer the unimog. I've made it a little wider today and while I was looking for something to do I found a sheet of rubber so I've cut out and super glued some front mud guards on. They won't make much difference when chassis is submerged but it's just a little extra I felt like doing. Also started work on some metal slider bars. Just some round steel bar but it's not the easiest thing to drill through without a vice or anything. The second hole is going to be a lot harder as it requires a certain amount of accuracy that wasn't required for the first hole. I don't expect these to have much effect on performance but the extra weight down there will lower the cog. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazkopat Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) with the added weight does truck get pushed to the ground? Edited June 18, 2020 by lazkopat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 It does, yes. Tracks the ground better and keeps the wheels in contact with the ground more. I took the front diff out yesterday to lock it up. Because the CC01 turning circle isn’t bad enough, right. Anyway, I took the opportunity to replace some old bearings while I was on. This truck may be retiring to a life of garden servitude soon. Got my eye on the Axial SCX10ii UMG10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) This is quite possibly the final instalment for the mog. I’ve finished the sliders. These are steel bar so quite heavy. I’ve taken the other bar out now that I’ve fitted these. Overall the truck is a bit lighter now but still a good weight with a lower centre of gravity. It’ll be fine for driving round the garden. Now I’ve got he SCX10 that will be getting my attention rather than this. The mog is not being retired yet though. I’ve got dogs and a large garden, this in now the poo patrol vehicle. It will helpfully carry a tub where I put bagged up dog poo while I go round clearing the grass. Maybe not the most dignified retirement but it means it’ll still get out for a drive pretty much every day. edit: I weighed it, 2.11kg with battery and no shell.

Oh How Original Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Excellent use of an RC to clear the grass, we have quite a sizeable garden too. Also, is that Barnard Castle brew any good? I live right near Barny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
