no problem and cant wait to see your build and u might still have to trim a little of the fender well to clear the tires with the tlt axles being more narrow than axial axles

Yeah, because a 2" gap between the body and frame looks so cool...

Yes, building a custom frame, and will do my best to account for the large sized tires. I will not have a huge gap.

lol this is a scale forum but we discuss 1.1 also. lol idk really but ive never seen a bad jeep really if the frame is solid then its worth that much casue u can always get a stroked motor for about 5000 and a trasmission for 4-6000 but the biggest thing i would look for is the axles see if it has dana 30's, 35s or 40s or what but with jeeps you can find parts easy so test drive and go with what your heart and mind tells you and i wouldnt mind seein pics(also im only 15 so you might wanna ask some one a little more familiar with 1.1 rigs)

You should spend some time on NAXJA. They will be able to answer all of your questions. In fact, you should read their Tech forums, tons of valuable info.

its time for a update so i order the Tekin FXR 35t combo and a 16 tooth pinion so i cant wait for it to arrive and it only needs 2 more things before the build is done and those are better radio and reciver (atleast three channel) and a rc4wd winch (possibly 3 racing but thats later on down the road)

[XxRockStar199xX]

ok i got a package today fxr 35t combo and i love it great power maybe a little more wheelspeed than the 27t axial but im runnin a 16 tooth pinion instead a 12 but i will have more pics to come tomorrow

[XxRockStar199xX]

not the final but close to the final made some new links to shorten the wheelbase out of post i had from axial and took the 2.2s off for 1.9s to give it the scale look. also have the fxr 35t combo installed and love it with a 16tooth pinion (sorry for the lack of pics i promise i will have some soon)

[XxRockStar199xX]

some more recent pics on the 1.9s and shorten wheelbase
the required flex shot =
now the side shot =
and the mean grill =
