PatriotBlue- Jeep Wrangler LJ
 

I've been gathering parts for this for a while, it's a slow build but coming along.
Started with a Nikko TJ body and stretched it-still more work to do.

My other little Jeep has a brushed motor and works great, but I want to try brushless. I went with a 13.5t trackstar sensored. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...8fd80b0b39.jpg

Great little motor. Have a few of them and they've held up great.

How did you like the Trackstar motor?

Re: PatriotBlue- Jeep Wrangler LJ
 

I think it is great. It is very smooth and has plenty of power. In low gear it has more than enough torque and low end control and will still get up to the speed of a fast walk. In high gear this thing is way too fast, a big challenge to control without flipping it over.

The tlt axles in my kids tj were needing a lot of work, so the axles from this Jeep went into his and got replaced by some ebay k44 axles. Also installed some boom racing drive shafts.

The bfg at tires didn’t seem to grip very well in the mud and snow, so I switched them out with some boom racing hustler tires. Much more grip in the wet muddy stuff. I also added a spare tire.
