Project matchbox jeep jk!!

[xjmachine]

i saw this jeep in a few magazine articles, thought is was the coolest jk ive seen, so i decided to make a scale version!



so i got the proline jk body and cut and painted accordingly





bought a chassis from ebay with some trex 60 axles



then i wanted to use my rc4wd r2 tranny i had laying around, drilled 2 more holes to mount it straight up in the stock plate






heres the cHassis put together with a 3 link set up


added some scale accessories to the body, snorkel, rack, ect



went with 2.2 rock lox and painted the beadlock orange like in the 1:1 rig



here she is all finished, i used a traxxas xl5 esc, axial 27t motor with a traxxas servo,(which needs to be upgraded), what do you all think??
