UPDATE: Well, there was supposed to be a post above this one (hence the “mutant supersized jeep” comment), but the post scheduler did not automatically post it. That’s a tech fail!
From a mutant supersized jeep, we turn to the Mini FC. Scott reminded me that I hadn’t shared this video of Headquake’s FC-170 RC jeep. A couple years ago I featured another of HQ’s projects, the RC MB. You can see other projects (200 videos) on Headquake’s Youtube channel, including a CJ-5, a Jeep Rural, a Cherokee, and a Wagoneer,
Except for the cat, looks pretty real to me.
I did not know it was a ”toy ” jeep until I saw the cat , and I’m still not sure .
Real! Listen to that whine coming from the transmission….sounds just like the real thing! I’d be afraid to meet the cat, though.
MY BUDDY HAD A FC-170 IN THE 1970’S — HAD 2 FEET CUT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF IT — SHORTENED THE WHEEL BASE TO NEAR FC-150 LENGTH — THE GEAR BOXES SOUNDED A LOT LIKE THIS — LIKE THEY WERE EMPTY OF LIFE-GIVING 90WT BODILY FLUIDS ..
