Here a a few more pics that may help you to guesstimate the panels thickness...

(don't ask me what the bracket in the background is for )

Thanks guys,

Looks like your pic Henri settles my question on the frame for the Blue Force Tracker.

Going to post this Humvee WIP next month...watch for it

Hi Robert, next year would be possible for sure. However it's their tires that I would have to outsource.

Roger on the Stretcher's material..
How far along are you with your ride? Please send me your Hellfighter pics..
[email protected] or
[email protected]

I'm really looking forward to buying your "(big hint)" in 2 months... Our country had these on display this year!



Hi Nick. I emailed you several photos a minute ago of my Hellfighter. Different angles than what you get online.

I sent photos and measurements to someone last year of those tires. I can't even remember who it was now, but he expressed interest in cutting them.

That material is perfect for the stretcher. If you can't find it there, let me know, I've got enough left over for you.

Can you imagine that Hellfighter as a motorcycle headlight? I'm contemplating purchasing another one, and gutting it out so I can install I normal Halogen light in it to have a street legal light on the bike. Then I'll run dual Hellfighters- one with the IR cover in place, and the other clear lens. I can run the 3000 lumen beam at night in the desert. Progress is at a standstill. I designed a new one off frame. After two months it's still not ready. 18" neck height (extrememely low) and 45 degree rake. I'm also going with a wishbone springer, so now I have a set of 61mm inverted forks I'll have to use in something else. I have lathed and machined everything I can without the frame. I know Henk is a die hard biker too, so when I get started I'l lpost a link to the bike's website.

Hey Robert, which email did you sent to..I checked both and didn't get it?

If we can't find that guy then I'll find a way to get the tires done.. But I checked your CD and found they use US Aggressor ones as well..?

I'll let you know next week if I need your help with the Stretcher's material...I just need enough of it to do a few masters in different layouts.

Wow.....You really got it all planned out for your bike, I'm looking forward to seeing it complete. It's a real shame we can't do that sort of customizing here...

Sorry to drag this thread up, but the black thing under the TF Runner is a siren speaker.

G'day Nick,
It looks to be the same siren that is used on ASLAV's in Iraq. PM me and I will send you one out mate along with the BFT.

Cheers Jason

Hey thanks Lucas & Henri!
That's Great Jason! Looking forward to them for sure!

On a side note, should I be using those high back seats and console panel,etc for my M1114? Or can I get away with the "old" ones in Tamiya's kit..............?

I've never seen an M1114 with old style seats or dash. If the Mig conv. didn't come with the high-back bucket seats Legends interior kit has em.

Ho ho..., my client for my upcoming SF M1078 Warpig & LAV-A2 build, got Legend's humvee Interior set for the high back seats for the warpig...So I get to keep the rest..thus the console panel,comms,etc! So all I need is a spare wheel for the rear.
He also gave me Pro Art model's Super Swamper wheels and the Aircon system...So looks like I have to build another Special Forces & regular Humvee...!

Will post photos soon.

Do you need a spare wheel/tire for the rear or do you have one?

I have several if you need one. Just let me know. I will send it for free.
