Default Cat Scratch Fever

well after thinking of what body i wanted for my scaler i finely settled on one (well 2 but I'm not paying 60 bucks for a proline ramcharger) i was jamming to the Nuge and found some videos on youtube of his bronco.... so i went in search of pics





now i am not going for 100% looks of his rig but its close to what i want

Love that body style. Have you checked out the CJ5ish bodies by RJ Speed?

Damnit man! I was just down in the lab cleaning up a bit, when that New Bright TJ sitting in the corner started calling to me

I blame you for this!

Looks like I need to source an axial for parts donation

I like the 1.55's too. But Dewey I think is right, I think they will be too small.
