Default Girth wind and Fire FOFF

No 2.2 wheels here. This rig is going to be 1/8 scale and a fire breather. I have some spare mills and lots of other crap built up over the years. This is what I have going so far. And with the opening of Supershafty It'll be easy to get what I need for this rig. On with some pics
The pile

The smoke maker and the rubber(for now)

I am a Twin Force whore as some of you know, so of course I will be using the TF trany

This is going to be a Jeep(of course) but in a MB flavor. The panels will be alum like my CJ5 scaler

More to come

27sec into this vid is my inspiration for this build. Rig #16. So sweet

Dose anyone have a page that would show detailed pics of some of these chassis? I've been digging and everything I'm finding is foreign language and no pics.

Now THAT is what I'm talkin bout Willis! Think I'll build somefin long those lines.
Think to get that RG to where ya want the RPM and torque you should gear down like we said but put some real stiff clutch springs on it. Like a high stall, that should put a lil snap I. It's step! Or see if we could find like a used GO 7port, oooooo now that would be the drive shaft snapper, now that would be a REAL porn title.

I have a pathetic update. The genious of The Saundo opened my eyes to the simplicity that this build should be. And the bags full of parts I have on hand helps too There will be no TF trany used. Just a 1/8 center diff. So SIMPLE. I'll even be able to use my starter box on this Bish!
BASIC layout
