Default mine, starting to mod

Painted a little, shocks inboarded front and rear, BB's in the front tires, rear axle trim, removed sliders, and skids. Now I need to trim th body. Damn HEEP body is limiting my flex. They need an Exploder body for these! Anyway, pics:





my 1:1

I've been modding it, since I can't crawl it 'til Nylint gets my parts to me. :neutral:

Hopefully they will get here soon. I can only go in a straight line.

The Jeep body is limiting flex so a Twin I-beam version ford explorer body would help it?

God that would suck, imagine wheeling in your favorite riprap rock embankment and BAMO, a rear tire goes and you endo down hill killing SGT GIJOE in the driver seat

I've articulated it every direction by hand, but haven't had a real chance to drive it, since I'm still awaiting parts. I'll let you know, as soon as I get it fixed. In my bench tests, it all held together without issues.

Default How Do You Like The BB's

Do the BB's really work? And how many did you put in each tire.

About 1000 in each tire. It should hold the front down when it climbs. I'll find out when the replacement parts get here from Nylint.
