I'll be looking forward to this build and really to see what you think of it's performance when finished. I really wanted to use this body for my next build be was worried about the perfomance with the short wheel base compaired to other longer wheel based 1.9. I ended up picking up a HPI bronco body, but kinda stalled out on building it when I started some of the tube work. If the performance is still pretty good may switch to this body and start building it again. Your tube work so far looks really good. |

When I'm done I'm going to give it a really good chance. If it works then great! If not I always have my trusty Beckworks toy to fall back on. Any event I've ever ran that in I've been top three. | |

I saw one of these at a comp in GA and all I have to say is I'm in love. I have a short'n SCX frame I just might use for one myself. Keep up the work can't wait to see how it comes out. |

Well, tube work is most of the way done. I've made it so I can dove tail the body like this one or if the scale rules don't let me I can just put on a normal body. It's all 1/8th inch tube to keep things more in scale so I did a fair amount of bracing but it's still quite light. I want to lower it about 3/8" for the stance I am looking for. I'm thinking that I might be able to fit a full interior now which would be killer! It's far from done but getting there. |

Looks really good, I may just have to pick this body up and build up the scx kit that I have just sitting there waiting for something. Tube work looks really nice. The stance with those rok lox looks spot on for the type of rig your after! |
