|  project el cheapo (updated 10-28)
well I got this body and have been trying to find axles that fit well under it turns out the nylints were a perfect fit so I cut the chassis in half and stretched it about a 1.5 inches and there you have it I am running  the original plan was vmg axles just to narrow . i cut the interior out of the nylint jeep to fit pretty well i think.  It climbs pretty well I think I need to get some action shots the longer chassis seem to help I also got rid of the stock pack and am using a 4cell 2400 pack killer run time and slowed the truck down some. well let me know what you guys think.

interior is not done yet but I think that body looks like it belongs on there maybe nylint should make a long wheel base and find that mold.

cool, if you painted it lime green, it would look a lot like 1badjeepbruiser's trekker. -Dalton |

That looks awesome. You did a really good job on that interior. If you want it to look even better, try 4-linking it front and rear, lower it down just a little (or get bigger tires) and take off that cage (it doesn't look right IMO). Awesome job!!! Edit: I agree with leaving the paint like it is. |

Good idea to have to remove the cage ....A small idea, you could paint your axes blue in..... black .. if possible . ...... GREAT ....PICK-UP-TRUCK
