Default kinda nylint

well here is what is left of my nylint. it has a 10.5 " wheel base, custom home made aluminum chassis and links. all that is left from stock is axles and shocks. i know that it doesn't look very scale, but the body is light and it crawls like crazy. good enough for me. i am also working on a tuber that looks just like my 1:1 rock crawler, so suicide sally watch out!! any questions feel free to ask. hope the pics work, this is my first try.Click the image to open in full size.

Despite the scale of the body....I really like the way it looks. It's one of the cleaner ones that I've seen. Nice job!

It'll go over backwards easy with that 10.5"wb and the tall moabs. I set mine at 12.5", after having one with 10.5" it was a big improvement for climbs. You did a nice job on that servo mount. Good luck with the tuber!

Here's mine with the 12.5" wb. I had it out today and it climbs great.

That buggy is sick looking, you got a link to more pics?
Keep up the good work, I'll be looking for some new ideas.
