|  My Nylint Jeep
Got my boy a 1/18th scorpion for his birthday a few weeks ago, and picked myself up a jeep a bit later to keep me from taking his apart  Been alot of fun climbing piles of shoes in the house, so I started tinkering with my jeep. Started with cutting and reversing tires, then adding BB's for weight. I picked up some rod ends and have been tinkering with suspension setup's, a bit trickier than I figured it'd be to get it right. Got the back working okay for now, about as much travel as it needs. I also rotated the rear "diff" straight up, mostly for linkage mounting, but Im sure it helps with hang-ups as well. Cut the belly down for added BOA, and ordered a planetary gearset to increase the crawl ratio, which I just finished today. The gears are a GREAT mod, makes it much more enjoyable to play with The wheelbase is still the same as the stock scorpion, but I moved the body backward a bit to allow the rear wheels to clear the body right in full stuff. |

| Can you post the part number for that planetary gearbox? I've seen a few different ones and just want to make sure before I get one. Also, do you need two gearboxes or will one do? Thanks. |
