| Love It
I like how clean looking it is. Now we need to see some dirt on the sides to really see how badass it really is. |

The CGR's are kind of expensive, but think about the alternative: A) hacking up a lexan body w/o ruining it B) fabricating a roll cage C) fabricating an interior D) (the hardest part) actually mating everything into one unit that doesn't look like a lexan body with a huge hole hacked in the top of it with a roll cage sticking out. Call me lazy, unimaginative, skill-lacking, whatever, I like them. They make a great looking scale build possible for a lot more people... Last edited by Big Mike; 05-12-2009 at 08:11 AM. | |

Yes you will have to either cut the wheel wells or shrink the rear links to make it fit perfectly. You will notice lots of people with the ambusher do not take straight on side shots because it will show how far off the wheel base is. I have one on my SCX10. Nice build BTW not nocking the ambusher but it is not a direct fit. How did you get the rock rails on? did you drill some holes in the frame to bolt it on? | |
