| My Bronco mangler build
Hey guys, started a new build a few weeks ago and wanted to post up! I have seen some really nice manglers out there and had to do one. The major part of this build is the stretch. I always thought these bodies were alittle to short so I'm adding a 1/2'' to the front and 1'' to the rear. Few specs: rc4wd T-rex axles custom scale chassis rc4wd 100mm scale shocks rc4wd 1.9 rok lox's with steely bead-locks tube bumpers and cage winch nothing to special hopefully just a clean scaller Photobucket is having problems I'll post pictures as soon as I can. |

Photobucket is going nuts with the pop up ads getting in the way all the time, drives me nuts. Sounds interesting, It would be nice to see some pics though. |

Is this the same mangler build that disappeared a few days ago? The yellow one with the black hood? I went to go reread it but couldn't fine the thread. If it is the same one AWESOME build looking forward to seeing the pics up again. |

Yes this is the same build. The old one was deleted so I had to start a new one. Photobucket is up and running again so here are some pics!!! Here is where I last left off. I'll also post all the old pictures leading up to this point. |

Are you keeping this one or were you building it for someone else, I can't remember. That is a thing of beauty. Maybe if I wish hard enough I can get my hands on one one day. |

Hey fellow Mangler builder! How did you do the upperlinks on the T-rex? Did you use the RC4WD part or fabricate-I couldn't tell-
