|  Class 1 IFS Hummer
I got this body from a friend and started mocking it up on some tlt axles to see how it would look. Been planning this build in my mind for 6 months.. tome to make it happen            |

Should be sweet, I have the same body but it's the fire department one, I've had it since I was a kid.

Finally a real hummer. That diff clearance is perfect, it makes it looks just the the real 1:1.

Hung the suspension with a little tube work.    Couple more shots with the body, finally sitting at ride height without all the blocks underneath it.      |

Thanks, The diffs should be plenty tough for a C-1 rig the little E-revos take a heck of a beating and don't seem to break much. Ill be trying to use the waterproof power system it came with so I don't see a problem yet but that could just be in my head. |

Love the REAL Hummer can't wait to hear how it crawls or see some video I've wanted to build one but never thought about your donor drive train, great idea |

hows the tire rubbing on the fenders? did you limit the upward motion at all? looks like it would rub a lot

 Are you going to run the center diff? I hear that really helps them keep all 4's on the ground... well, maybe not the front 2 wheels when running the vxl! | |
