yeah.. this body is the same size with about 2 more inchs on the wheelbase....



belongs in Monster Jam!

I think the 2.2's will work out nicely!

Graet looking body! And love the rims! Wish we would get some more 1/6th scale rigs in at WalMart. Yes I work at Wallyworld but havent seen any 1/6th stuff since Christmas. I am itching to build a scaler. I'll be watching this one.

I think the 2.2's look absolutely horrid, but the nylint tires and wheels looks freakin bad ass! The 2.2's remind me of a monster truck with the trailer tires on, not a good look.

Yeah I have to agree those red rocks look like hell, way to small.
Those nylint tire do the trick though, I would personally run those with the body alittle lower.

so.. i took it out for a run and those redrocks suck ass! i stole the zombie maxx hybrids with black HPI 5 spoke rims off my 2.2 comp tuber that just decided to take another crap and bolted them upon this.. it looks really good! they are about 1" taller then the red rocks and just a hair saller then the nylints.. and being that they are on 2.2's i can comp with it! like it matters... the thing drives like a 300lb wieght... kinda like a nylint! i should put one against the other.. stock nylint against this beast ... i be the nylint wins... i was getting hung up on EVERYTHING.. but that was mainly due to those stupid redrocks.... ill take more pics once i get her back together...

Im thinkin of stealthin her out... paint everything thats green - to black... migth look pretty good!

Nice to see you got a truck thats running for once. I dunno if I got enough winch for that beast though so you might be on your own when you get stuck

Those tires may work good, but they look absolutely horrible. It looks like you've got some lawn mower tires and rims with a 8" lift. 2.2 wheels and tires just don't work on that thing. 2.2 X 6 = 13.2" rim, yeah not good.
