Today I'm installing a bunch of parts from YRUCEC RC. A very talented designer and craftsman who designs and assembles parts for a wide range of vehicles, among them the Axial CJ7! Ever since I've seen a set of Baja Designs lights used instead of headlights in real life, I've wanted to try this on an RC. The Yrucec lights are fantastic, they are a replica of the LP6 lights and they look and perform outstanding. I needed to create some extra space to be able to fit them, and while I had the grille out, I also gave it a coat of paint to match the rest of the body. Other parts I used are the Yrucec bumper, also to get rid of the stock stinger style bumper. I added bars to the sides of the rear fenders, a handle bar on the passenger side of the interior and a big baggage basket which fits to the stock rollcage. Along with the faux hinges and the cowl cover, it really elevates the look of the Axial CJ7. The cherry on top are the YRUCEC door covers in stainless steel. These are not easy to install items, but if you take your time to get it right, you will end up with some extremely nice details on your RC vehicle.
The RC4WD Warn Winch can be found here: tinyurl.com/579... or here tinyurl.com/2h8...
The Proline Toyo Open Country tires: tinyurl.com/2s3... or here tinyurl.com/y4r...

A ready to run RC with all of my favorite ingredients, is that possible? Well: YES! Axial has released the SCX103 Jeep CJ7 Renegade! It has taken a while for me to get one in my mittens (it's very cold here), but the day is finally here. Today I am taking you with me to have a first look at this very detailed RC trail truck.
The Jeep CJ7 in its smaller version by Axial features a ton of cool details, and although the chassis consists of familiar looking items, it is the combination that is new. Straight AR45 axles with a high entrance pinion gear, the forward motor transmission with the functioning dig. The option to install another micro servo will allow you to use a two speed. Stainless steel directional links, a metal panhard mount, metal pivot balls and aluminium shock bodies are only a few key items that make this a very attractive RTR package. Add to this a highly detailed interior, opening doors, a ready installed light kit front and back, and a full Spektrum electronics setup and you can easily see that the list that keeps going. In the current line up of Axial vehicles I think the CJ7 might just be my favorite one yet. And: It offers a ton of possibilities for customization!

Yep…those lights are a must, well, as soon as HH gets off its keister and fixes the CJ7 Backorder.

[@roadrash76]

Indeed. Luckily a local to me shop had several CJ7 clear bodies in stock. 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Much better bumper option sir. Truck is really looking lovely, and I wouldn't expect any less from you.

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks 👍 I'm pretty happy with the way it is currently! :)

[@derrick2735]

Wow............. Those tiny screws are crazy.. And the contrast against the black looks cool. As always excellent craftsmanship and work

[@hemistormrc]

Cheers, I also really like the look of them, in my opinion nicer than a tube door too. 👍🏼

[@derrick2735]

@@hemistormrc I can't wait to see what you decide to do with those lights

[@72defender]

My favourite RC channel!

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks so much!

[@JSmooVE3990]

This guy builds the best looking RCs

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Those are some fantastic upgrades and the lights look great. I made a similar style headlight upgrade for my old YJ and it really made a great appearance upgrade. I’m glad you still have your eyesight. My close up vision went away about 10 years ago 😢

[@hemistormrc]

Was a close one for sure! I'm enjoying not needing reading glasses for as long as I can. Thank you for watching!

[@roloreoandy9867]

It looks amazing as always Chris! I am really glad you didn't lose your eye, because that happened to me and it makes it very hard sometimes in this hobby especially with the little screws. So, wear your damn glasses!

[@hemistormrc]

Blinding lights almost got a new meaning!

[@99ramsport]

I run a mamba x 2280kv slate combo in mine and love it. I’m also running a NSDRC rs500b direct power servo. Love how your bed and sbg’s turned out

[@hemistormrc]

Thank you! Making a limited run of beds, details available through a DM on Instagram!

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Just got one in Red, LOVE it. Will be doing some mods soon.

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Those lights look awesome will have to check that website. Can't wait to see how they look at night or dusk!

[@Ezzie0304]

Nice work Chris.

[@949Designs]

Excellent details brother. I hope that all is well.

[@trailmixsrc]

As always, enjoyed it! You have come up with some killer creative ideas there. Keep inspiring us all! ❤️✌🏼 Yrucec definitely makes some nice stuff. I recently ordered and installed their Knightrunner headlights in my Element Knightwalker. They look so friggin fantastic! Killer product, fast shipping and solid customer service. I highly recommend them too! 🤘🏼

[@hemistormrc]

Very communicative and helpful indeed!

[@inspireonex]

I wish more was shown about how exactly you mounted the headlights into the body. I guess we can't give away all of our customization secrets and that's ok.

[@THESERGEANTJRC]

Very nice build my brotha!!!

[@rob2738]

Looking good! Which paint did you use for your seats? 👍

[@hemistormrc]

I believe the TS Light Sand from Tamiya

[@mrcduzthelotthelot]

Love the scale looks . Great vid as always . Have you ever built a Cross RC rig . I have just built the SG4C Demon and I think it's something you'd really enjoy .

[@shaunodriscoll]

That looks awesome

[@Fuggamugga]

Where did you find that bumper? I cant seem to find that one

[@troyavery6889]

Hey bro,not sure if this is a silly question but, on this rig does it have to be the micro servo for the transmission shifter,and can you have both the Dig function and the two speed shifting? I know obviously you would have to have the channels to support it. I mean basically is it a one or the other type thing? Thanks in advance for any feedback you have to offer if you have the opportunity to give me feedback 🤷‍♂️

[@BSalc]

Nicely done 👍🏽👍🏽

[@bigmac5219]

The man.

[@stephenr6427]

Add a scale figure or 2 in interior 🤙

[@hemistormrc]

Yes, that would be cool 🤙

[@fernsolo]

I like it 👍

[@Hungrybird474]

Did anyone have to pay extra for shipping form rlaarlo after ordering ?

[@hemistormrc]

Never ordered from them!

[@stevejudkins6358]

Yes it is, hahaha! Make 10th scale shopping car dents too.
