this is my first one so lets see how i do at this. this will be slow, work on it about once a week. got a shipment of parts so it starts.

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/attac...1&d=1253308245

started by cutting the body, not much
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/attac...1&d=1253308402

made a cj grill, this was a pain in the ass
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/attac...1&d=1253308594

got the interior done, not much leg room with the R2 so the steering is going on the right side

wasnt to shure about bending tube so while at the hardware store found this small snatch block, made a cheesie bender out of it. so far it works good

not trying to be picky cause youve done a great job on everything so far. but jeep grills have 7 slots.

keep up the good work though. look forward to seeing more "thumbsup"

thanks, after looking at it, it sits a little tall and narrow so i am going to lower it and try to find some wideners that will work for the T-Rexs

here are a couple of pics of the bender. as you can see in the pics its made from a few rendom bolt sleaved with tube and the part from the snatch block is spaced enough for the rod to fit through. i keep my hand real tight to the bend and it turns out ok.

Awesome looking rig! I like the cage work.

What is the overall tire height of the mounted tires? I am trying to get an idea of a few mounted tire height's for a rig that I am building.

Thanks
