I was going to sell my Gimbal but that didn't work out so I decided to do something a little different. I've seen really cool 1.9 scale crawlers from Sacco and Braceysdad and wanted to do something similar. So here you go.

I shortened it up to 10" and put some shorter shocks on it. Threw on the wheels and tires off of the Bruiser Hybrid and away we go. I am going to make some 1.9 Moabs for it and I want to see if I can fit in a Goat.

Onto the pics

Nice work Z

It looks like a ton of fun to drive

I just put the stock links, shocks, and drivelines in a drawer so if I want its back to stock in about an hour. Its fun though, with enough wheel speed you can jump it a bit and it crawls better than I thought. I'm excited to get the Goat it in, but I am probably going to have to make a new skid for it so the tranny is in the right place and it will fit.

Thanks for the compliments guys. When we were driving it around it looked like the little kid coming up to the big guys

"Come on guys, I can do it, let me try it too"

Yeah I keep thinking I should just so it'll get used, now that I'm running Agent J I probably wont ever run it in a comp again.

I want to make some for it but the LHS doesn't have them right now and their tire prices are too good to go anywhere else.
