Default RX's new to scale hybrid.

Hey guys this is my first post in the scale section. I have a hi-lift but I consider this hybrid my true first scaler. I got it in a trade with justgiveereh.

I can see this is going to become addictive. Just got it going about an hour earlier. Here is an old pic that Zach had of it. I'll get some action pics later.

Man what a blast someone forgot to tell me how much fun these things are. Actually fun to just go drive like it was back in '04 when I got started with the crawlers.

Yukon the hybrid has TLT axles and a bruiser frame, 4-link in the rear with leaves up front. The Hi-Lift is bone stock...probably the only thing I own that is. LOL

When on a trail ride down to the creek...

Looks awesome Joey, I wish I had a super I could have traded with Zach

That looks like a great spot to crawl too.

Funny how much these act like the real deal. Makes you realize how capable our comp trucks really are. I keep forgetting that it only has little 1.9 tires on it. But considering everything it goes very well. I love hearing the tires rub the fenders and the bumper nailing a rock.

Glad to see this thing out on the trail, I like the steel wheels and the old school toyota stripping.

I'm thinking of mailing it to you. But I can't go without a scaler now. I guess I'll through something together then mail it to you. I'll call you soon.

Yes it is and I haven't had it to glitch once. Thanks I love the combo too.
