Отличная работа. А твой гараж выше всяких похвал

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Thank you so much!

[@derrickhays3627]

from exploded jeep on the bench to beautiful off roader that really came out nice! the wheels and tires are perfect for that rig, can't wait for running vid, thanks for sharing.

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Thanks man! Really cool of you to say! I ran into a problem though. The cheap plastic leaf springs cause the rear axle to shift backwards and the drive shaft pulls out from the gearbox. Others have had this issue, but not all. I think the heavier wheels don't help. But, I knew this when I bought it, but the price for me was great for even for the body alone. Anyways, some metal leaf springs and a better designed drive shaft will fix it.

[@toeshifter]

I love these old jeeps. I have the FMS one. Fun little trail trucks.

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Yeah, I ordered a second one so I could keep it in the military style.

[@greggrube2948]

Great job 👍 that turned out beautiful, good choice on the tires and wheels. Awesome video brother

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Thank you Sir! They are a tight fit, but I like the tires a lot. From a cosmetic standpoint anyway.

[@Fortes_RC_Adv]

Great job. The final look is awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 Mine still original

[@Im4evergrateful70]

That looks great and almost like my real.

[@oficinaderccars]

It's look amazing! You did a good job.

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm waiting for a metal driveshaft, and some metal leaf springs as the weight and size of these tires create some havoc with that.

[@papalel]

Looks good 👍👍👍

[@bergkraxlerul]

simply great

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Very nice of you to say!

[@AlphamenschRC]

awesome Work🤩 i put 1/24 shocks in mine for way more flex and the original wheels from my MN Range Rover are fitting perfect😎 Your thumbnail was part of the inspiration😉

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

@AlphamenschRC I saw your video yesterday, and love it all blacked out! I had thought of putting my MN wheels on it but wasn't sure, and then saw your vid! I actually had to take the wheels I had in my video off as they're just a tiny bit too big. That's why I was thinking of the MN wheels from the Range Rover as they looked like they would just fit better. Which shocks did you buy? If what you have works, I'd love to know what they are. I actually have another one of these on order, as after I started changing it, I thought it'd be cool to also have the military version and just kind of leave it alone. So asit stands now, I've got a set of the new V4 WPL tires and they're older style stock rims, and they actually look really good on it. I also have a set of the newer WPL rims with some DJ crawler tires I stretched over, they are 68 mm x 25 mm. And they look good as well. But I was saving those because I have the new MN82S on order. But, I also have some of the new WPL aluminum silver rims on the way. Yeah I know I'm rambling!

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

And thank you for the kind words!

[@AlphamenschRC]

​@@TheMindsEyeRC I tried 3 times to answer you but every time my comment gets deleted🙈

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

@@AlphamenschRCSoooooooo, the shocks you used? 😅

[@stevepataki1333]

that turned out real nice ! you are way faster at projects than i am !

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Thank you! But don't be fooled, just to my right off screen is my c24-1 from WPL that has been sitting in pieces!

[@ezboyrc553]

Great job on the Jeep, hard to believe. That's a 1/10 scale. It looks about the same as the fms, 1/12 scale. They also have a 1/6 that is on the same 1/10 chassis. They use it for the Mashagain and FJ40, so I guess these jeeps are supposed to be small.

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

I'll be honest, doesn't look 1/10 scale to me. But next to my Traxxas or Redcat, kind of does. And thank you.

[@SB-1947]

Actually I really like how it turned out. Makes me want to get one.

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

It really is worth the money. And thank you!

[@robsonmenezes1006]

Muito bom o vídeo amigo está bem realista, vc pintou ele não foi ficou legal, gostei personagem ficou bem realista.😍🤩👍👏

[@SouthernRCGarage]

Good looking paint job and upgrades. 👍

[@DoingRC]

O yeah really nice👌💯👍

[@manblackpm]

Mine is coming from AliExpress, going to paint it to look like the one My late father drove in Suez.

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

That sounds like a great tribute to your Father. Would love to see how it looks.

[@MarcoRCArena]

LOVE IT!

[@RcDungeon]

Great video! Currently watching your videos on this one. By chance would you know if this is the same size as the FMS 1/12 or is this actually a little bigger closer to an actual 1/10? I know the older JJRC model was actually about correct size 1/10 scale but lacked the scale thismee model has. Thanks for doing some great videos on this

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

Thank you so much! I don't have the FMS model to compare, however, if you go on KZbin there is someone who has done a comparison video. If I recall, it is with the older version of this one, but I think size wise this new one in the old one are pretty much the same. I think you're right though, it's comparable to the 1/12 scale. This is a very small 1/10 scale if it is one. I've also received metal drive shafts that I'm going to be putting on this one, and the version that I left as an army Jeep so for the price of this one, and some minor upgrades, like the driveshaft, you really can't go wrong for the price.

[@luiz4x2]

Can send the link for the tires, wheels and driver? thanks bro, good work

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

For sure, I forgot to put the links into the video. Driver: www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B09CGKFYHP?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Wheels & Tires: www.injora.com/products/4pcs-1-55-85-28mm-beadlock-wheel-rim-tire-set-for-1-10-rc-crawler?variant=39717854117936

[@jaymyers9899]

That’s guna look so good out on tour! Nice job , do you think you’ll weather it a little someday? I’m looking forward to my first try at it

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

I did, but messed it up, so I sprayed it solid again. I might touch up normal nicks and scratches as I use it with rust.

[@jaymyers9899]

@ that’s a kool idea too

[@kyiusworks64]

is the wheel hex 7mm or 12mm? stock and for the new rim/ tire

[@TheMindsEyeRC]

They are a 5mm hex on the axle. I put on a 5mm to 12mm adapter to fit these wheels.
