| ~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. |
