Looks cool as all get out! it would be cool if you cut the filter down to about a 1/4 inch as well..

At least its not a Hummer

Team Tactical Bacon · 09-06-2010, 06:02 AM

Very cool stuff. Brakes are a must. I was given a Raco Jackrabbit and clipped a tree because I could not slow it down fast enough.

It's not speed that kills, its that sudden stop......

dealwithit · 09-14-2010, 11:45 PM

thats pretty sick man, i wouldn't think a engine would make for good crawler power, but i guess with such a big engine you avoid all the nitro nonsense

got any running vids with the body on?
