before i start off this is one of my first projects like this and i was on a 20 dollar budget so no fancy servos or lipos yet

I got this crappy hummer at wal-mart and it was slow as hell and was not porportional but it had a perfect space for a 130 size motor and xmod electronics which i had laying around.
i still have to clean up alot of the excess glue and make everything look nice and clean but here is some wip pics.

just begging for 2 AA liths

more pics and updates soon hope you like

you'll have to cut a huge hole in the body if you want the servo to sit there. but it should be fun, good luck!

UPDATE:Yeah i got out the dremel yesterday to make room for the servo and about the mess i have cleaned alot of it up and now its looking pretty clean the reason i had to use the glue in the first place is to keep the contacts in place etc. thanks for the comments ill have pics up later

some more wip pics so far so good i had to dremel some of the body out and to help cover it up i made some custom parts now all i have left to do is some bondo work to the hood scoop and then paint i should be done in about a week

enjoy

What the hell is that on the hood? It ruins the whole rides look!!

Xmod battery clip, holding down 2 AAA's?

Well about the hood i had to dremel out the middle of the hood to have room for the servo right now i have some base plastic down for a little roof scoop im going to do with some putty then its going to recieve paint.
So no backdrift its not holding down 2 AAA this will take 2 AA liths and probably soon some li-poly. I still have alot of body work to do so right now its still a big wip. ill have some chassis shots with the body off up later.

thanks for the comments all

you shouldve turned the servo on its side and put the electronics on top, it wouldve fit...

That was the first thing i tried when i got it i would of had a big ass hole in the wind shield if i even did get it to fit righ there. The crystal is almost hitting the roof to give you a idea of the inside room. im content with where the servo is.
