|  project "baloo", a tamiya bronco build
since retiring my old 2.2 comp rig and her name. I thought it time and fitting to revive the name on a new build, especially since she donated her axles to the build. so here we go!! specs(as of now): tamiya bronco body, loaded tlt axles, tsc l-trail chassis (modded to accept a honcho skid & tranny), rc4wd 90mm dual spring shocks, proline flat irons wrapped around titus beadlocks, undecided on the esc/motor combo. anyways onto the pics |

time for some update pics. got the esc/motor combo in I wanted. went w/ a traxxas vxl-3m/holmes hobbies revolver. also installed some shorter 80mm rc4wd shocks to get the stance a little closer to where I wanted it. |

Looks good. Ride height might be a little high, which might be a liability on the trail with the weight of that roof rack up top. Good looking Bronco overall though.
