Default Swamp Donkey Build

Don't have too much experience with RC, but I my 1:1 is a 1 ton 86 Bronco. I think this Nylint is definetely my begginer rig. Lots of fun...



Mods thus far include:
TT
cut limiting tabs, added limiting straps
grab handles
turned tires (tried the narrowing tires thing and they did not work as well IMO)
broke the front stub shaft twice now, so welded those up good
o-ring belt
sliders

looks good! I like the ground straps for limiting straps and grab handles. Looks more realistic.

I love those rock rails... They sound really cool when you hang up on a rock and SCRAPE... across it. How did you attach them? I used some bolts from True Value


Keep the pics comin!

I used some glue to attach them. I hope it holds, if not, will just drill some holes and use some stainless bolts (or maybe rivets)
