Hi,
to make a RC Danbury Jeep you need one Jeep and one 1/24 scale Sumo Crawler for the motorisation
first, dismantle the Jeep, made a rubber mould to cast plastic additional rear wheels. They will be necessary to make the Bantam 1/4t trailer.

Make a hole in the jeep floor between the seats at the dimensions of the Sumo motor.

Hi,
the suspension springs are mounted on the chassis by means of 1mm screws and nuts and
1mm dia. brass shackles.
the 1mm dia. brass bar pass through the welded tubes on spring and the 2 trunions of the
differential boxes.
To block the rotation of the rear wheel axles, two short links are fastened between
the wheel hub and the differential box.
The steering servo is glued against the inside of the right chassis spar.

Reassemble the jeep and insert the RC receiver under the chassis along the left spar
and glue the main switch under the chassis just in front of the gasoline tank.
The next post will descibe the electrical supply.

Hi,
as it is impossible to insert 4 AA batteries into the jeep, I have made a Bantam 1/4t trailer
in which it is possible to put batteries, it is the reason of the 2 supplementary wheels I've made :

100_2891.JPG

The electrical connection between the trailer and the jeep is made of coaxial wire
and SMB connectors.

Hope that this drawing and explanation will be of some interest to 1/16 RC modelers
who want to increase their collections of RC US tanks.
Best regards.
