|  jeep cj5 (WIP)
Well, i've had the 1/18 nylint jeep body hanging around for a month or two, and i wanted to have a 1.9er. So i just bought an mrc the day after christmas, and started to mod it right away. sorry for the crappy pics, i had to take them with my phone:    the body mounts to the stock battery tray with two screws..    the next step is to make a cage, and tube doors. tell me what you think. |

that looks pretty cool it would look alot better if the body was lower though, how does she perform? |

mini x trail chassis would look killer,also if you could put coil springs in the front.  love the jeep body.

Thanks for the comments guys. i need a new driver soon. Gr00v3, the truck performs really well. i put a balloon over the electrics, and the snow over here is melting fast, so i went wheeling. i will post action shots tomorrow. warriorsimi, i am going to buy an l trail as soon as i can, and i might just have to take you up on the coil spring idea |

| crap!
when i was out wheeling yesterday, the jeep fell down a small cliff and this happened.   Well on the bright side, I see an opportunity for a jeep truggy the rear of the cage is going to be modeled after the rc4wd timberwolf chassis.

the cage is almost done!! the bends aren't perfect, but that's because my dad didn't want to spend $35 on a tubing bender that tells you the angle you're bending. so we drilled a hole in the work bench, put a screwdriver in, and started measuring, cutting, and bending around the screwdriver.     this weekend i will get the rest of the cage done, and it will be painted! |
