|  Zukmans' 2007 Chevy Suburban
Here is my first attempt at a scale crawler. I wanted something different and I had a bunch of stuff laying around I didn't know what to do with. Wheely King axles Custom built beadlocks to get the track width down Wheely king trans up front Axial trans for a t case K2-3l chassis cut down and custom delrin skid Geolanders Leaf springs So far it has been fun We'll see how I feel in a couple more weeks         |

I wanted the body to be more ridged without having to mount it up through the top with big ugly mounts and pins. It is more like a plastic body now. Here are some updated pics.    Last edited by ZUKMAN; 11-13-2007 at 09:43 AM. |

Sweet! I dig those rims. Very Bling bling. They suit the Burb well. Where'd you get that sweet little box that you have the electronics in? |

Walmart sells the boxes. They are in a pack of three different sizes and cost about $5.50. It locks all the way around and has a oring seal so it is water proof.

Yes it is painted on the outside and now it is scratched up and is going to need some body work.
