Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823
Finally received all parts I've been waiting on, so getting back at this. I decided to try out the sound unit Capo sells for this. Standard Sense unit is all it is. After watching a couple videos of it in action, I decided to give it a try. Though in keeping with the "scale" nature of this build, it needed to be concealed in a clever way, along with the battery. Which is another feat all its own. For some reason I feel the need to stuff the largest battery possible into my builds. Its tough to hide things on this due the fact that everything is open. Engine bay, interior, trunk area etc. Here's what I have come with in an effort to keep it scale. Something along the lines of a Tuffy storage box. Heres the 1:1 inspiration.
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...19f8a1a712.jpg I started by hacking into the Sense sound unit to make it fit into my dimensions. I had to shorten it, and flip the board around so I could still have access to the buttons. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0e5ffef7d4.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...06885ca4ed.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c638133205.jpg Then I built a box around it. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...6c157ab75a.jpg Just enough room to hold the battery and connectors. The speaker points out the side. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...39f5c01384.jpg Mounted to the floor with m3 bolts and nuts. The battery is held down with velcro tape, and the lid with magnets. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4e6bafc012.jpg Final results. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...162e8da037.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ed5d0a3717.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8aff3c9ea7.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8205ee5f8a.jpg |
