| Go Slow YJ build
I finally had a chance to get this build started thanks to a sweet deal with one of the vendors of the site. It has been in my plans for a while but it always found itself bumped by another project. The plan is to make a Class 2 comp rig (the "Silver Bullet Taco" now sits on 2.2's") that resembles this sweet rig: Build for the 1:1 ( http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=829346 ) Components include: Tamiya YJ body Losi axles Proline Powerstroker shocks RC4WD 1.9 wheels Tires- Pitbulls HH ESC CC BEC Servo Hitec7955tg servo winch Stay tuned!

Time to start working on this bad boy! Got a little some thing special going on for tube work. When Hugo and I started the planning stage of this build, it was decided it had to be lite weight. So since I don't like using brake like for my builds, I went with something that was both strong and lite weight. So naturally it had to be 3/16" Chromoly tube. Stay tuned! More to come! |

| Yep! I have some on back order at Horizon, since they will be distributing them, I figured why not. Man, not much left of that $45 body....huh! Still need to trim up to the bottom of the doors and add a little on the grill by the headlights. |
