its a metal body that came off a GraveDigger RC cheapo truck i got for free. if i set it up with a winch bumber, headlights, and all that would it work as 1.9 scaler, or should i stick with the plan to do a yota.

not scale at all, i think you will like the yota in the long run any ways and end up switching to it even if you did do the grave digger body

Id say run with it ..... you got a solid body and a frame why not.

No offense against the Yota guys but why do the norm? Take your time, try to avoid the shortcuts and youll end up with a killer rig you can enjoy.

throw a set of seats in it, some internal cage work, maybe a little bit of trail damage, and a few beer cans later and that thing will look sick.

im going to build it, the way it sits the body weighs just under 2 pounds, i can cut a little out of it but not much. when i had an X-Trail chassis and it set up with this body it didnt work at all it was just way to heavy, but with this chassis and getting a good suspension setup i think it will work

lift it up a bunch and with some bigger tires and a good paint job it should look badass. But it's your build, do whatever ya want! Also the savage/wk shocks sprung would look good if u went with the lifted stance (it would save you money for some other goodies) or are those ax10 shocks?
