This is my RC Jeep project, already started some years ago. The pictures as shown below are with a SOTW jeep body. The bottom is removed and will be replaced with an or wooden bottom or alumnium one, which I already made.
The transmission will be or the Bruiser 3-speed transmission or the newer 3-speed Tamiya transmission with a RC4WD Killer Transfer Case .

At this moment  I also bought a Dragon Willys MB jeep with I already partly did took apart to see if I can use it instead of the SOTW Jeep. The rubber tires are SOTW, which I think are the best thusfar to use. The wheels are a professionally made split rim, just like the original ones. The 2 parts are bolded together with screws and nuts. For the axels I first wanted to use the Tamiya Bruiser axels but the plans now are to make them myself, close to the original axels. The frame is a machined aluminium U-profile. Other aparts are casted brass like the bumber gussets and such. Will be continued.

This is the position how the tamiya Bruiser 3-speed transmission will be fitted.
Some parts are not ready yet and some parts are made of wood for the moment,
but will be replaced with aluminium parts
