and i am trimming the front bumper a little . and im going to add a little heavier shock oil in the shocks other than that im just looking for stuff to climb over lol i do live across the street from a forest preserve and a river. anybody in north-eastern illinois? more parts and pics to come

[lobojones]

Am i seeing things, or did you swap out the front bumper halfway through the picture progression? At the start i see the skid plates, but by the end they aren't there. I see you said you're going to trim the front bumper, did you trim the original or are you trimming a replacement?

I'm curious because i am looking at the different bumpers available for the scx10s and I'm trying to pick which one would be best for my zombie apocalypse build.

[lobojones]

youre not seeing things i did the one on there currently is the axial plate style front bumper. and thats the one im trimming shorter. need to buy shackles too. got it from amainhobbies.com

[AdamM]

Ya i was going to say that the plated one definitely is my favorite of the two, but i wasnt certain it was actually 2 different bumpers LOL.

ok so scrap previous ideas , i visited lhs and bought a hpi '73 bronco and some paint . redoing waterproof setupand last night i flipped the motor and trans around MIRRORED DERORRIM . ill post pics when im done . might order the dingo fender flares for the body but im gonna wait till its on the car to see how the wheels are under it. damn im excited.

Those shocks look great. Some bead locks nicer tires and weight in the wheels should be on your list as well. Make a big difference
