The gears in the stock Pede Tranny didn't hold up to my abuse.....I picked up a set of steel gears from the VXL series trucks so we will see how that works....and while I am at it I may replace the TXT tranny with an Axial tranny and 55T Integy since I have them left over from another build. I will post more pics after the conversion.

That is a very realistic looking big rubi...

Is it possible to get these anywhere anymore? I couldn't find one online anywhere.

Actually looking online, it seems really hard to find much of anything 1:6th that would be good thieving the body off of for a project.... Biggest I could find was a 1:8th four door Wrangler.

heres a link to all the 1/6 bodies newbright makes. (or has made, some are discontinued.) scroll threw the pages to see the different ones, and notice the ones that are still in production. im not gonna make it too easy though, you still have to find a store that sells them

thanks Phase10...

I picked one up new unused from a user here on the forums...

now the hard work begins. I had successfully fabbed a 'chassis' type plate that will mate to th body and then attach to a Clod torsion stick --- But its not working out. There is so much flex in the stick crawler that the tires (extra-narrowed moab XL's) get hung up on the front bumper and/or fenders. I'm racking my brain and can't come up with how to limit the articulation on the stick.

I'm about ready to abandon the stick and go with a traditional 4-link chassis and unsprung droop with 7inch long REVO aluminum shocks. I just need to source the 4-links and a chassis somewhere's.

I don't think I can come up with anything nearly as 'quality' as Crawlin'4Fun's --- but i'll do my best and post pics once its done.

Love the 1/6th stuff!!! Thanks for the good pics and ideas Crawlin4Fun!
