Took it for a run today up behind my house, Took a few really good tumbles down some hills, and it held up great. You cant tell i had painted it now















I also took and cut some of my TSL's to give the center tread some more break up and it helped a lot. I have RC4WD foams up front and Pan F400 in the rear, in case anyone wanted to know.

Thanks man!
You have pioneered much of what I was wondering about...
...Meaning the combo of the JK unlimited body and 2.2's!

Your many photos and the way you've modded the body really looks great and has answered many of my questions/concerns and given me the details I need to settle on some direction for my SCX10.

How does that silver solder hold up to abuse? I normally use brazing rod for my tubing & bumpers, but I would be more than happy to switch to silver solder since it only needs MAP gas, rather that oxy-acetylene.

I have Yet to have one joint fail, i tested my first test piece in a vise and the steel tubing spun apart before the joint did, i will try and get a video of my brazing up and info next week after my short vacation here tomorrow.
