I just finished putting this thing together today and thought I would snap some shots real quick for everyone. The thing that inspired this was djmedics tamiya tundra, you will see similarities but there are also alot of differences. I started putting it together back in February and continued building as funds came along for parts. This is my first rc I have put together and I think it came together really nice. Only thing I have left to do now is add the electronics, I think I will be going with the tekin products. I will need some advice on what radio to get, basically I need something that will do forward, reverse, run 3 speed tranny, and two winches. Anyway, on to the pics. Let me know what you think.

Did some fender trimming all four corners to make sure the tires wouldnt rub.

That's what I was thinking, it's real pretty but it looks like it wants to roll over just sitting there. How high is your battery mounted?

thanks for the nice comments guys. The COG is high, but i only built it for fun and figured it as more of a mudder then a rock crawler so personally i'm not to worried about it. I have taken some steps to help a bit by adding weight in the wheels to keep it a little more planted. I will be mounting the batteries on top of the plastic platform that goes around the motor.
