Customising the Cross-RC EMO AT4V


BlackSeaRC

Recommended Posts

During the AT4V kit build, I already added quite a few upgrade parts to improve crawling performance.  Next, I wanted to further improve the scale realism by adding a few detail parts.  Most of these parts are not specific to this truck so can be used on a variety of different 1:10 scale trucks.  These are additional parts I fitted:

 

- Front towing shackles

- Rear tow hitch

- Wheel centre caps

- Chrome decals

- LED lighting channel control switch (to switch on/off lights from FlySky RC handset)

- Scale interior kit (including dashboard, centre console, steering column/wheel and seating)

- Ultra-realistic driver figure

- Registration plates

- Brass hub weights

 

As you will see from the video below, most of the parts were simple installs but the scale interior was a different matter.  Because they are usually quite specific to the vehicle type/chassis, it is hard to get the dimensions to match up.  Therefore, I would like to hear from anyone who has fitted a scale interior.  Do you think it is worth continuing with the interior in the video (i.e. modifying it to fit) or do you think there is something alternative that would suit the application better?  Any advice would be much appreciated!

nice upgrades, to use the centre hub caps without the stock wheel nut try wider hex`s on the axles

 

When I fitted the brass axle weights I used a wider hex.  I don't want to go any wider though because I like the proportions of the tyres to the wheel arches as they are.  Anyway it is no real problem to have the two nuts there on each wheel.  Do you have any experience with fitting interiors?  I'm just not sure whether to start cutting this one around or try something else.  After all, you aren't going to be able to see so much detail through the windows anyway so even removing the entire dashboard might not be so noticeable.

cant help much on interiors, only one i have done is in my Carisma scale Ford F-150 and that was a proper bodge up, i like what Matteo`s rc video`s does on Youtube, he gets the driver and maybe a passenger and mounts them on perforated metal alloy sheet then tapes it in place, you need to look at what he does to see what i mean

Yes, I've seen what Matteo does and that is one simpler solution.  Basically to mount a seat and use a fixed figure holding a steering wheel and not bother about much else.  From the outside it does the job.  Maybe I got a little bit carried away with my original idea!
