Default Body swapped

So being a Jeep driving guy and having the two scale Yota's I decided to change things. I took the red mountaineer body off the frame and and swapped in this.


Then I built this trailer to pull the buggy around on. It will go through some changes here soon but here it is.


And sitting on the trailer now is most likely going to a first( at least from what I've seen) A 1.9 buggy!

It's around, I lowered the tranny by cutting into the frame and making a plate to connect the two pieces then I clean it up (i'm lying) and painted it silver. Slapped it back together and now it glitches. All of a sudden almost everything I have that was AM now glitches. It's the weirdest thing. So It's just been sitting. Kinda depressing really.

PS. I can't believe no one commented on the 1.9 Buggy!

made a few changes to this rig. Swapped out the Moabs and beadlocks for the tried & true wheels from the truggy with my now classic 3rd gen Rock rings. I removed the weights out of the rear wheels. Moved the spare tire carrieer to the center and mounted a full size spare instead of the mini Nylint spare. I also installed a roof rack basket I conjured (sp) up. next is some scale accessories.

I had them made a while ago. Some guy was making decals pretty cheap back then.

Thanks, I agree the details make the rig. As long as it's got a good foundation of course.
