Meg the 'mog is go
« on: February 01, 2009, 10:28:04 PM »
I've had this shell kicking round for a couple of yrs now with the intention of fitting it to something, and I've finally made a start.
I've got a Robbe Mountaineer trials truck but was never overly impressed with the stock shell so today I decided to do something about it, and although I'm basically bolting a toy shell onto a chassis I'm pretty pleased with it. I even did my first "cut'n'shut", tho it was only the load bed and not a full blown shell.
Just gotta get the front bumper and bed bed fitted and re-load the electrics, then there's the small matter of the rear prop, which my 10yr old managed to sheer last time he ran it (but forgot to tell me :mad:)











I even (unwittingly) managed to give it a tilt cab



well, today I found a bit of time to do a bit more to Meg, but with more of a purpose and time limit. I think you'll work out why when you see the pix.

 seeing as we've just had some of that rare white stuff fall, and more forecast I got a bit sidetracked with project mog today.

I've been tinkering and fettling on and off all week, but today I remembered I had a ****ie snow plough burried in the garage, so dug it out and this is the result.

I even found time to gut and modify an old servo to enable me to raise/lower the plough from the tx.  28) 28) 28)
