Yes paint it pink!

Remember a project called "the animal"? It came from a guy by you, who's name I forget. He sold it to Ben and I ended up with it. It has sat unfinished for years. When the Wraith's came out I thought that would be perfect for it rather than being WK based. I am now inspired.

Cool thread. I had been thinking about this for a while. I want to make a 1:6 scale ride for a standard G.I. Joe.

took a day off, but found a little time to do this.




It sits little better now..i added some RC4WD 100mm scale shocks to the front and some 120mm venom creeper shocks for the rear. Also wanted to try to do an integrated rear shock tower.

I got a chance to check this thing out the other night. Talk about over the top. The amount of thought being put into this is amazing. I am looking forward to this being finished in worst way. It is heavy, and getting heavier with every upgrade but with my Willys I found the weight helps a lot.
Y V, I still am going to stick to my guns and suggest you run internal/external sprung shocks. K, nuff reading, get back to building! Aloha.
