Default tamiya 4 wheel drive chassis kit...lol

Found this at a local lhs......I figured what the hey,I had a few bucks and wanted
to build a cheap kit for s&gs.Paid 22 bucks for it and built it in about 2 hours.
It doesnt have a body with it and it runs on 2 aa cells.Similar to a wild willy jr
but a lot more involved with more parts.It runs perfectly on top of a pool floater
where you can add or decrease air to make it work harder.......lol without bustin
diff gears so it allows tires to slip.Im gonna slap a 1/24th model kit truck body on it
and call it done.It articulates off 2 thin wires on either side of chassis.
cheap fun when your low on ducks:-)The wheels and tires are the coolest part.
Think of mini t size mini clod buster deflated:-)

The link is the kit im referring to.Whats cool is i removed the batt switch
and aa holder and made it remote control with long strands of thin wire.
Now i can blip the throttle and go in reverse without touching the truck.
If i could figure out a way to steer it this would be an ultra cheap crawler.
BTW....the xmod evolution hummer body is a perfect fit on it.
duct tape works great for covering exosed diffs on underside.
