so those bodies are really not that far off from those cheap a$$ McAllister 'Yota bodies that are for sale elsewhere on this board hmmmm, i think i make have to pick up a couple of them, they are only $10 plus shipping on ebay.... EDIT: too late, someone must of snagged this whole lot: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1673&rd=1&rd=1 and i was actually gonna order one tonite afterwork, too!! oh well, i guess keep an eye open on these boards for someone selling old NIKKO 'Yota bodies....

SWEET truck!!!! the guy has 1 more up for auction. thats the same guy i got mine from. he helped me out alot!! yeah pretty much only thing stock is the axles trans esc batt box. gotta work on the batt box and some torq twist. the body sits fine when goin in reverse but it leans to the right goin forward. im goin to be out of town for almost a month so i wont be able to crawl or work on her for awhile. |

I know I havent posted in a while but been busy and have been playing with the crawler more than using the puter. Oh and entering all the giveaways is hard work!! hehehe i updated the crawler alitte. they are all pretty much poser pics. the articulation pics are full stretching it. def. doesnt flex like that when running unless i really push it. it does alright needs more tweeking and i have to mount the body yet. dont know if i want to run the hard plastic 1 due to weight. lmk what you guys think |
