|  Alright you got me!
Just purchased 2 nylint 1/6 crawlers. 1 jeep 2nd gen, and scorpion 3rd gen. was interested in them last christmas but after owning 3 t-maxx's,1 e-maxx, losi xxx-nt, and a revo thought they were just toys. I Saw the price marked down to $49.00 from $169.99 and I bought the jeep while out of town. that night I went to this site after reading about it in rc-caraction. To my surprise I found this forum!!! After reading some posts I realized that funrise has made updates to them. The next day at my local wally world I found a scorpion buried in a pile of newbright cxts. Saw aluminum brackets, screws for shocks and no bump stops and knew it was 3rd gen. Last one so I picked it up! At this point I am glad i didn't spend any more than I did on them. Have only driven the jeep but all it does is hang up on the skids. I think these things have a future with the mods you have all suggested. And if they follow threw with the technical support they are talking about eg:web sight, factory upgrades etc. Any way in the mean time what the heck is the tummy tuck for these rigs. show me some pics!!!

They got me too. I have 5 now. I'm only running two, but I'm going to give my brother one for his birthday. I love the challenge of the stock Nylints (we don't have a lot of challenging courses at the beach).
