yeah, thats definitely true. i just think annything smaller than the geos is too small... scale rigs can still perform.

You could always narrow up some claw dawgs. Im sure they would look killer! I did a set for my bb-51 and they look AWSOME! Im not sure if they are smaller than geos but, they look more scale. Well, atleast I think they do.

went ahead and stuck a frame in there. It will need to be shortened to fit correctly.

hubba hubba!

The geos look fine, just stuff 'em up in the wheel wells and you are golden, not that it makes much difference since everything you touch turns to gold.

Thanks! Thats the problem with the Geos, they almost will not fit in the fenders without some major hacking of the body. I found a solution though. Just waiting now since I only have one pair and not two.

Had some free time, assembled the chassis so I have a roller now.

These are the tires I think im going to use, they tuck right into the fenders on the G wagen! Although I ordered some new ones because these have been hacked and somehow one of them has a lump in it

I was impressed at how easy it was to get a short wheelbase with this frame! Went so smooth. Although I shortened it about 1"-1.25"

Thanks man! Not a problem at all, I have copied you before as well

Although you may be able to help me out with something, I tried the chassis mounted servo and it was all over the place when it articulated :-( Any tips on getting rid of that? I might just have to mount it over the axle. I think its due to it being so short causing the extra issues.
