ManCave's Chief Cherokee

[TheManCave]

My latest creation out of the Cave is here. This build happened by accident rather than planning and turned out pretty good. I once again based it off an SCX10 chassis and axles, but that's where stock stops. I started with a Proline Jeep Cherokee body, used Dupli Color's Intense Blue Pearl and Black Iridescent Pearl for the bumpers, and bottom trim. I plan on finishing off the project with Vanquish links. Everything else is as follows:

Chassis - SCX10 Dingo
Axles - Stock SCX10
Lower Links - Stock wraith bent links
Upper Links - Stock 3 link
Driveshafts - MIP Splined CVD's
Tranny - Vanquish Aluminum case, Robinson Racing internals with 1 piece lower outdrive, Robinson Racing Gen 3 metal slipper
Motor - Novak 55t Terra Claw x2, Level 3 Racing SCX dual motor mount plate
Servo - HiTec - 7995TG
Front Bumper - Tough Armor Comp stinger with Bulldog 9300XT wireless winch
Rear Bumper - Tough Armor rear spare tire carrier with Dinky's RC receiving hitch
Junfac Side bars ( replaces cheesy stock plastic ones )
ESC - Novak m2 dual dig
RX/TX - Axial AE-3 combo off an RTR
Battery - Venom 5000mah 20C 2S Lipo ( front ) Racers Edge 3300mah 6 cell nimh ( rear for winch )
Wheels/Tires - 1.55 Interco tsl IROK's stretched onto Vanquish OMF 1.9 rims with .475 hubs Rogue Element Wheel Nuts
Shocks - Proline powerstrokes front and rear with Gearheads RC rear shock relocation kit
Dinky's RC woodsmen trailer.

This by far has been my best looking rig in a while only trumped by my DMG Wraith chassis aka PorkChop. Enough talking, here's some pictures.

I think I might need a flux capacitor to increase my torque lol. The rig weighs in around 9.8lbs so it works those 55s pretty good but havent found an obstacle that bound it up yet. Vanquish may be expensive but im in too deep to quit
I've seen this video on Youtube before and now I know the owner. That is truly one badass dually. Couldnt have picked a better song either

For some reason I have an odd fascination with the irocks. I have them in all sizes and they have to be one of the most versatile tires.

Thanks, I thought about color matching the trailer but instead I plan on rusting it out for when I pull it behind the scrap hauling trailfinder 2 I built
