Well I had my red 1/18 Jeep Nylint for a while and stumbled across this site the other night and HOLY SHYT!! I love workin on my real jeep all the time but I have never once touch an r/c. So I will try to do my best to the lil jeep and I am sure I will be needin some advice. Since Like I said I have never worked on r/c (let alone know anyhting bout them) and I never even realized you could do all these badass things with these little crawlers! Cheers! |

Thanks man! I am sure as I tinker with this thing a lil I will get some idears. Right now though I am wonderin how to get the wheels off so I can flip them for the time being. I will eventually do the 2.2 mod but like I said never messed with these things before. I see four screws holding the back rims together but the front I can not tell. Do you know what all is intailed to getting to the screws on all 4 wheels?? Bueler, Bueler |

Grab gently with pilers on the center cap and twist. now with cap off remove the gold screw with lock-tite on it. now you can get the wheel off.

Well just got done with my first two minor mods. I cut the springs down and reversed my tires! Next up I would like to lengthen the wheel base. How did yous do so? Did you have to snip the wires and add a length in cause I found mine only to stretch out bout a half inch.:? | |
