New to the forum, and starting a new build. Going with the scx10 chassis and a new bright body. Have a wraith that's pretty much fully built and brushless so the challenge isn't there any more. Decided on a scaler and found a cheap new bright body online so now I'm diving right into a frame up build.

Body should be here today so it's gunna hit the fan shortly.







Mocked up with 2.2s but gunna run 1.9 growlers, anvil grey paint and put windows all the way around and painted all handles and gas cap plus wipers.

It's custom links. But the wheel base is at 13"will probably adjust it a bit once I get the 1.9s on it. I'm sleeving all thread so I haven't made my sleeves yet.

Finally got some 1.9 wheels for my growlers. Looks much better on 1.9s than 2.2s

Actually the wheelbase on all the New Bright JKs are 14". Are you sure yours is 13"? That's quite a big difference.

Here's my NB JK showing 14" wheelbase.

I'm out of town for work but I'm pretty sure I have it at right around 13" from axle nut to axle nut. Wish I could check now.
