Looking good there. I was going to build a switch but their site wasnt working so I got the Mantis chassis instead. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 |

That looks like a great bonding experience for a father and son. That BLS-157 seems kind of small, are you sure will be enough to turn the tires? ;) All joking aside, Both crawlers look like they are coming together great. Keep up the great work.

Pretty cool doin the pops n kid build. My boys only 4 so we build Legos. Mostly big block walls until he "explains" that its not a block wall but Thomas the Train shunting frieght. Keep up the good work. Both chassis' are killer designs & should work well for ya. JD BTW Did you norice you have a BIG ASS Ewok in yer house? That or yer mop has eyes  |

Both rigs look really sweet. I am jealous, I have two daughters that have no interest in this hobby. Nice to see the father and son thing |
