Default Diaz Rubicon

Well since i've been cleaning our my garage , i thought i would put these axles and body to use. i'm using my 11"wb chassis with bruiser spings all around. going to be using a R2 tranny and a 55t lathe motor. still need to do alot of work with the shocks and electronics. this is what i got done today.

Just ditch the spare for a Mudslinger, then you're good to go.

make sure your motor pinion is pressing too hard on the main gear... if it is, then it will scream when you hit the throttle. There should be good contact there, but not too tight.

Is this a New Bright 1/6 RC Jeep Wrangler Rubicon..? The reason I ask is because I have a chance to pick up a 1/6 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a really cheap price and would love to use this body on a 2.2 chassis... Basically I will be starting out with a Axial AX10 chassis and going from there...
