| New rig from G-made? https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...74088828_o.jpg Looks like it has leaf springs and a Willys body with new axles. |

| Re: New rig from G-made? I am very interested. Did some Google sleuthing and found nothing on it. My initial thought is that it is a custom build that is using Gmade axles but who would put body posts thru the hood of a custom build. Hmmmm..... |

Thanks for the imbed. I agree, and that body looks lexan. The axles could be cut down R-1's with TLT or Axial outers, but I hope not. Would make a nice little rig to add to the stable.

| Re: New rig from G-made? That chassis looks great with the body mounts on it. I want to see more! And those axles are definitely not the same as the ones on the Capo truck. Last edited by jeepinkid83; 09-25-2013 at 02:40 PM. |

That transmission reminds me of a highlift.

Looks really sweet, as long as the price point is the right range to compete with axial I bet there will be one if theses in my future, I like the rc4wd products very nice and very nice machining but pricy, I know you get what you pay for, but there are nice reliable things out there that don't tap in to my kids college fund lol

i like it. would love some better shots of the body though. also can't tell if the axles are new, or just re-using the r1 axles. |

Looks like a majority of the metal is stamped mixed with molded plastic, so I would imagine that it will have a competitive price point with the axial products. If it is inexpensive enough, I might actually look into getting one of these as a first all leaf rig. |

I really like it and man will there be a ton of those bodies around. I just wish someone would come out with a different kind of body from the basics.
