I wanted to build a scaler to match my Scrambler but I could not justify buying all the parts seperate. So I bought this instead. It should be here in a week or 2.

What I bought is a scaler projectfrom jgb7038 here on the forum. what I got is a hilft frame rails,shock mounts ,leaf springs,custom tig welded tube frame,axial axles,axial trans,axial straight axle adapters,losi claws,and alum bead locks w/weights.

I have done some work to the truck. Installed the trans and drive shafts, built a servo mount/ battery plate. I also got a bunch of hardware and mounted the shocks.
