Default my cherokee crawler king

so after beating the crap out of it and cracking a wheel, i figured its time to give it a little TLC. heres how ive been running it for the past couple of months





jacked the bumper off my abandoned tlt build and made a mount to the body





screws through the grill looked crappy so i glued some PL fog covers to it to look like hella slim lights on the 1:1





pics with the scx10 manche aka apache









also lowered the body a little and going to pick up new wheels tomorrow and put them on the stock grabbers.

next on the list is steering, going to put in a nice motor to replace the crappy torqueless POS thats in it now and do a few other minor things to it.

but yeah, just thought id show it off

Hey I am revisting my King I am going to use that body with some 1.9's. Can you throw some 1.9's on the King so I can check it out how it looks...I am not at that stage yet. It does look tough with 2.2's, your rig looks good.

good looking king. You need to put the steering servo on the front axle. Not only does is steer better but it crawls better also
