    that way people can find your discussion, they won’t see it it here since this thread is for the 1/16 Jeep.
    I have 2 JJRC RC military vehicles. Both are knockoff of very expensive RC from China. These JJRC are surprisingly cheap, but run very well both indoor and outdoor.

    The first is the JJRC Q75 1/16 scale 6WD truck. In the pictures below, you can see my motor and metal drive shaft upgrade. The RC receiver was upgraded with one with higher current ESC. The metal gear steering servo is hidden. I also upgraded the battery to 2S18650 with high quality Li-Io protected cells.

    I recently acquired the JJRC Q8815 1/10 scale MB Jeep. It is waiting in my job q to be upgraded. The pictures below are shown with original parts.

    All these JJRC upgrades are simple one-to-one drop in with metal parts. The only painting I did was the Jeep seat cushion. Not worth a separate thread. 2 years ago, I used mostly WPL parts for the 6WD truck upgrade. This time, JJRC Jeep sellers have their own upgrade parts

        Keilau, maybe you should start your own thread? It's getting away from the 1/16 scale jeep topic.
        The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

            Sorry. I cannot delete the older posts. If any of you knows how to contact the administrator, please, request him to delete all the posts by me on this thread. This a thread on Jeep in a RC tank forum. This is my last post on this thread.

              hello,
              dreaming of testing the towing capabilities of this 1:16 jeep;
              considering buying the ROCHOBBY M3 GUN in 1/12 scale

              would like opinions/advices on the ''optical illusion''; since the scale are different

                It is way too big for the 1/16 Willy. I considered it for my JJRC 1/10 scale Jeep, but gave up too. It is part of the 1/12 scale ROCHOBBY product.

                  I'd search the net for a 3D printed version. I have a "Russian/German" equivalent, I'm sure that US versions exist. Of course, then you need someone to print it.

                    There are various 3d printed towed buns out there. Check cults 3d and thingverse and thangs/shapeways.
