| Crawler Innovations Steel Bodied, SWB, 1.55" Enduro (pic heavy) I purchased this steel bodied christmas decoration from Sam's Club sometime in the last quarter of 2019. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to complete the desire I've had to create a crawler out of a steel bodied antique. I did not own anything RC related at that time with dimensions that would work with the steel body, so it sat. Then came the plandemic. I purchased an Element Enduro kit and was pleased to learn that it would be the correct fit to the steel body. #crawlerinnovations #activatedoutlaw #ayalametalworks #lilnovafoams #doubledeucefoams #deuceswildfoams |

| Re: Crawler Innovations Steel Bodied, SWB, 1.55" Enduro (pic heavy) I did not wait long to paint, detail, and sticker the body. I'd already test run the chassis on the rocks, now it was time with body. Pics of this outing on the back yard rock; |

| Re: Crawler Innovations Steel Bodied, SWB, 1.55" Enduro (pic heavy) The enduro build along with two VP builds I also created this year; This truck is no shelf queen. I build them to use for testing products and ideas. This has held up surprisingly well. |

That truck build looks pretty cool! I see those rigs in hardware stores and such and think the same thing! Nice execution.
