That's very nice! It looks like the scuba driver is prepared for wet weather for sure! Who needs a top? Haha! Seriously, it's really cool. How does it crawl? It's hard to tell how big it is since there is nothing to reference from in the photos. |

I love these things, especially the pic of the bottom, very clean and reaslistic looking, however, the wheels/tires aren't doing it for me, too much bling in comparison for the rest of it. Overall, outstanding rig

Yeah I hear ya, tried them out for the off set but I changed them out with some Axial 8 hole rims, looks much better now! Took it out friday and it wheeled great! 2 battery packs/3 hours later, the only issue I had was a screw that attaches the lower shock to axles came out (forgot to loctite it) but that was nothing to fix! I will post pics up later with different wheels! Thanks guys! | |

What are you guys using for a frame? is it somthing that you are fabricating or is it an off the shelf type item? Ive been facintaed by the 1/5 willy builds for some time now... looks like it is almost time to repurpose my WK axles... . |
