Default SW2 chassis **a glimps into thefuture**

First off I'd like to thank BENDER for donating the SW2 for the givaway......perhaps it was a fate thing b/c/ i got a 73 bronco body from my mom for x-mas. This is what i decided to paint it like a Stroppe bronco here is how it turned out!





the plan is to run 2.2 swamp dawgs and a set of old school looking rims mabey some AL wheels,and the standard TLT axles with maxx tie rod links HT 645 servo I'll get some pics of the build up in the small scale crawlers forum ans it gets built!!
Thanks again BENDER
John

If you do it like a Stroppe do it right and paint the flairs body color not black like I did I looked back at the stroppe I copied and accidently taped off the flairs(habbit I guess) and painted them black........................though i kinda like them that way!! Just my opinion....

That's what I was thinking. The black fairs look good on the red fenders. OR I could paint it like my old 69, primer, dents and tree bark.

that body looks great. I had to cut the fenders off of mine in order for the body to sit low enough and not rub. How do you plan on mounting the body? Mine kept brakin body posts so i think im going to move the mounting holes to the sides of the body instead of the top.

The sw2 is a kick a$$ chassis, mine has yet to not impress me.
