Arrow Something new I am working on
A new little project I have workin on for awhile.

Click the image to open in full size.

Extended high-lift rails, high-lift trans, semi rear axles, high-lift front axle, Rebel 2 esc, and I will be using a globetrotter body. I need to decide on which wheel to use.

I know the trans is tilted a little but that will change.

You might want to think about the RC4WD Prowlers on tamiya hummer wheels if you are thinking military type or trials type rig...

That chassis looks wicked cool. I can't wait see what you come up with for a bed. I need to build a 6X6 or 8X8 soon.

Straightened the transmission, mounted steering servo, mounted and modified a globeliner body, began painting the interior, mounted front shocks.

I am planning on using a desert camo paint job. Not sure what I am going to do for the back half, but I am planning on making a two tire carrier behind the cab.

Thanks for looking.

Any idea what you'll be doing with the bed yet?

I got my bumper made during the week, and I got some new shoes today for the 6x6.
