Default X-trail MRC

Got bored last night and decided to take apart a perfectly good truck to build my 1st scaler. I was inspired by the Blackfoot builds lately.

I used a prototype X-trail I had laying around and used lower links from a 1/2 built TLT. (anyone got a alum X-trail for cheap?)
I will have to redo the skid plate as it's not straight.

$40 for a complete alum frame new or $25 for a set of frame rails sounds pretty inexpensive to me , and from what I've seen there stuff is top notch quality.

keep up the good work.

I was kidding....

I need to figure out what to do with the front. The shocks are hitting the servo, so I guess that has to move up into the frame

Also stripped the rear locker while taking it off the wheelbase jig.
