|  '57 chevy not sure if this belongs in scale or not. since i can't sleep much, last night i resurrected my old humvee. nothing special just wanted a beater that was a bit faster than my crawlers. i bought this thing back in '93 i think, not too sure. it has been a great little beater with no major issues. since the original body is trashed beyond use, i decided to paint up a body for it. this was on the shelf so it got the spray. hope you like it.    p.s. i forgot to paint the weatherstripping around the front and rear glass  .... there is always something i screw up when i paint! no wonder i hate it. |

| baddclod- yup, parma body. couldn't pass it up. on clearance a while back for $12.00. 1bjb- just keeping it stock. i wish it still had the original motor but i fried it years ago. now it has a 24 degree stock something or other in it. can't get 30+ minute run times anymore.:-( (17t pinion) badger- thats what i was hoping! |

| That looks cool. Try putting a 55 turn in it, good run times, and it is still fast. That is what I did in my TA02. |

| Those are great rigs for just thrashin' around. Simple, rugged, and not so capable that they take the challenge out of a trail. You can crawl 'em with enough determination, but mud is their natural element   You can flip the rear arms around if you need to tweak the wheelbase, too  |

| mines just a little too long at just under twelve inches. the tires i really have no idea i havn't had a chance to really run them yet but i know plenty of people on here have. sorry for hijacking your thread chino, that body would be sick on a touring car chassis. |
