[Dtempleton]

Well I guess its time to shell out another $400 for one of these haha.. looks like u are off to a good start man

[Biggdogg1972]

I too got one of these bad boys just before Christmas, and love it.. It's my first scale rc.

[bmuzz1]

Thanks everyone!

Well it's a runner now. I installed a Savox 1268sg servo but plans are to install a 1230sg when funds allow.
I also need to get the CRAWLER-DAD LED's installed plus my head and tail lights.

I plan to put a wireless Bulldog winch on it since this will be more for trail use then competition.

nice jeep!

[R2j]

Very nice Brian! The RC4WD bumper looks good on there and nice choice on the Locked Up wheels! I'm still debating on getting one now or just waiting for the body and then do a metal tube cage, I know a tube guy that does alright work.

Nice beadlocks!

[darkmanx]

Love those LED's I have a set and they are bomber and bright as hell!

Thanks everyone!

The tie rod is a titanium unit that came on a Honcho I got a while back so not sure on the make or length.

Locked Up R/C bead locks are awesome and super easy to mount tires to.

I started working on my 1.5 Class 1 F350 today so I'll get back to this one in a bit.

[hotwheels000]

I need to know where you got that driver

[bmuzz1]

Walmart, some vertically challenged wrestler dude.

TITANIUM LINKS

Got some more Locked Up R/C bling today for my wheels, scale acorn lug nuts. I had my little helper, my 6yr old daughter Brooke do the hard part. Actually she loves wrenching on my crawlers with me and usually takes the tools out of my hand.


And the finished product...

Man, now I need scale hubs more then ever!!!

[bmuzz1]

Had to do it, just ordered my Locked Up R/C scale hubs. The wheels should look complete now.

[Mr.Joshua]

Nice call on the hubs...its looking really good Bryan.

I love seeing your daughter working on the rig with you. My 8yr old daughter loves it too, has her own AX10 Bug now. It's lotsa fun eh?

Thanks man, I'm really digging this thing!

I love that my daughter likes to tinker with Dad and good for you for getting your daughter into it to.
I'm keeping this one on the factory radio for now just so she can go out crawling with me until she gets her own rig.
