OK....

When I was a little boy about yey high I thought to myself...... Wait you ment on the rig?


Well I had the clod axles laying around the house since December. Thought about selling them, but never could get myself to do so.

So now I have a project I think you'll like.


It will have..
the axles and lathes of caurse.
I have a tq3 and a 4 channel, but I haven't decided on which one yet. I still need to get the 4 channel operational.
It will have a 1:6 scale body on it. So I'm kinda going for a scale look. (There were two on ebay the other day. Ford looking)
It will have a Ladder frame. Which I'll work on tonight.
Still working on the suspension set up.
I need to get some maxx adapters or figure something out. I have some wideners I got from RBL a while back to trade. I'll post in the wanted section.

I have moab XL's and 2 sets of 1:6 nylint wheels so I'm going to see what I can come up with. If I can't trade for the maxx adapters then nylints will be on it.


OK I've given more than I wanted to allready.. Man I just can't keep a project secret..

Well I have a plan for the 4th channel. But if I can't get it to work then the plan will be shot to hell.

I'm pretty excited about what this could be. When you say BFR I have a feeling your not joking.

I was able to get some done yesterday. The body should be here by now. And I'm still working on the tire issue.

I was missing a couple parts for the tires but they are on there way.
