Ogre Obsession, Scale RC Jeep YJ

I love Jeep Wranglers.

My hobby since I was a kid has been building radio controlled cars and trucks. Most of my models are Tamiya 1/10 scale that are heavily modified. Materials used range from brass and steel, styrene sheets and rods or anything that can be found and adapted. There are also companies like RC4WD that make a range of scale aftermarket parts like wheels, tires, axles, transmissions, transfer cases and so on for custom builders like myself.

This is a 1/10 scale replica of a early 90's YJ that I have been working on for over two years and close to 600+ hrs.




I started with a Tamiya ABS resin shell and hacked it all up.




Dash and floor came next.







Lots of details and body work.
