Definitely not! I think it looks perfect the height it's at.

One vote for white. I think black wheels look horrible in general.

looking great, Bob.
as for wheels, put two whites on one side and two blacks on the other!






or, just go black all the way around.

Well RC4WD delivered a package to me!

New wheels/tires going on!


I also decided to take it apart and prep the chassis for flat black paint!

New wheels/tires are on.

Chassis is flat black and it makes a big difference!

I still have to detail my Rogue Element Warn hubs

I'm wondering about how to get ahold of those side mirrors! I just finished a Proline XJ ... anyway, that's an incredible truck. Black chassis was a huge improvement.

and since you like the white but want 5 lug, maybe paint those new wheels. I think the white contrasting black would be incredible now after your respray of the chass.

Tires are great. Havnt used them with this rig yet but I've used them before. The taller .155's are much better but wouldnt go with this rig. As for the hubs, Rogue Elements makes them.

I liked the white but totally sold on the black now. You can make mirrors for your lexan XJ out of styrene. These came with the kit from Scaleoffroad.

It has been a while since I updated this one. But thanks to 1BJB, it is a runner. Mike hooked up the electronics for me and I hooked him up with some 4 link mounts for T Rex axles.

3 speeds. 2wd/4wd. He set it up pretty cool too so it is always in 2wd but when you need to shift to 4wd you shift up into 4wd which makes for fun wheeling.

super low is super low!! Then medium, and then fast which is pretty quick.


Here are two vidoes of it crawling up onto the tow rig! Click the image for vid!



Pics!
