Default ~The Scale Shop~ 2008 Scale Nationals Rubicon Build

This will be my entry for the 1.9 class at the 2008 scale nats.
this chassis is the first chassis i ever designed and had professionally cut long before The Scale Shop even existed. ive just never used it, its not exactly scale looking or well laid out, as i was just learning back then, but it has alot of meaning to me being my first, so i thought it was fitting to use it for a build for the bigest scale event ever put together.

parts list:
New Bright TJ body
Warn Front Bumper
TSS rear bumper with carrier
TSS chassis
TSS roof rack
TSS hi-lift jack
TSS rock rings
TSS Billet Warn XD9000i Winch
TSS rear axle truss
RC4WD R2B
RC4WD True scale 1.9 wheels
RC4WD 1.9 Claws
Obijuan Hard Top
LEDs
Various scale goodies













lots of work to do.....

probabally a dumb question, but are you going to take the silly looking stickers off of the side of the body?

if you know anything about RC4wd they "hope to ship by the end of the month"


which means 3-4 months
i put alot of effort into getting RC4wd to produce these tires, im am VERY much looking forward to there release. they will probly be on every single build i do.
