got the seats. had to cut the hell out of the bottoms to get them to fit.  took a big chunk out of the driver seat for the dig.   not too bad looking from afar.  | |

Nice seeing this in action today. Looks like it drives great maybe a little tuning here or there.

got my first comp under my belt with this thing. just a couple small things to change and back at it to see if i can do any better with it at the next comp. some pics courtesy of TeamDestruction    the front shocks where shot before the comp and after they where pertty much dry of oil. changed them out for some cheap axial's for now until i find out what brand they are so i can rebuild them.  i have the room so i took the interior and body panels off to get to the tranny and change out the spur to a 96 and pinion to a 18. will be stepping up to a four cell.   | ||

Oooo new tranny parts, that wasn't creepy either lol So what sort of speeds are gonna be expected with the change to 4s? Is it just for amusement? ANd btw the jeep turned out really sweet  |

thanks the 4 cell wont give me crazy speed but i get enought out of it to hope small gaps, pop over steep ledgs. which i real need to be able to, to keep up with the larger tires that are ran in our comps. |

| Re: comp buggy
thanks guys been tweeking it here and there to make it run a little smoother. after a hard fall to a front tire i took out the stub carrier. found some tube for a twin force version of beef tube thats a nice press fit. just had to drill it out a little more to slide the axle shaft through.    the ass gets hung up because of how the housing is made. made a skid and it has really made a big driving improvment.   added a couple new pro-line accessories. wonted to put the fire extinguisher on the dash but its just a little to big.   changed out the button heads on the fuel cell to rc4wd scale bolts.  the chassis has been holding up very well. a hard fall tweeked the back corner but only took some paint off. no broken joints or signs of cracking anywhere.
