Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Thanks. The wheelbase on this is right around 14-1/2". Width is about 10-3/4"
As far as how big the body is, thats a little hard to say at this point because its literally in about 2 dozen pieces....

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Ahh ok. Thats weird. So if one were to park on a slippery slope and apply the parking brake. The rear diff could unload and the vehicle could go shooting down the hill! Lol

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Yeah all the gears with the exception of the pinion are big and beefy, and also hardened steel. The pinion could be considered sacrificial, if I knew where I could get a replacement. Having a helical...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Its hard to tell in the pic but the axle more to the right, and under compression it gets closer to being centered. No oil or grease is included. I threw in some 30wt. Yup there are adjusters for the...

Re: Cross MC8 8x8, Now With Yota II's!

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Yikes. Maybe its a good thing they dont have a 1:10 scale offering. I'd be in trouble if they did! Thats more then 2 Capo 8x8's! I skipped building the engine first to wait for servos, its the first...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823
