|  Old school cj build
A buddy gave me an old proline scrambler body so I figured I’d repurpose one of my less used trucks to build it. Removed the front of the stock scx frame and brazed a rear section of another scx frame to gain room for steering since I’m running shorter then stock shocks  Got the ride height set where I wanted it after the chassis mod and built a battery tray , some electronics box mounts and some sliders out of aluminum.  Got it all done and running. Still need to build some simple bumpers and swap in a 35t Holmes motor    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My memory is a little sad... 'cuz I had one of those bodies, unpainted, waiting to be prepped and mounted on on of my old Traxxas rigs - and then my apartment complex burned down!

my trucks are fairly capable since we have some really challenging terrain here | |
