Default I couldn't resist.......

I picked up a 1/6th scale Jeep for $119 and a 1/18th Scorp. I am putting 2.2's on the Scorp right now.

I like tis 1/18th with 2.2's How long do thry last this way??

The 1/6th will stay stock, other than a roll bar repaint. It will match my 1:1 LJ, it is also orange.

if you want, we can get out the crayons.

what I have in mind for a tranny I don't think has been done, so we will see. I know it takes 2 GD's for the tranny I have in mind, I will leave it at that.

The rest is easy, either make a new frame with 4 link f/r TLT axles or use existing chassis, either way will work.

see my sig. How...better yet WHY would you add GD600's to a nylint axle? Just add a second low gear box. I just got a kick out of what he said. It's like saying your gonna put TXT axles on your clod...

Ok, but he's talking about swapping TLT axles, not using the nylint axles.

so, are you going to use just the body? cause the nylint chassis & suspension is not that great.

i just ordered a tlt that i am gonna use for mine.
i am going to use the body,rear axle,radio, & battery from my nylint with my custom frame & tlt axles.& a regular servo.
if i can get it to work the way i want.
