| TwistedXT's - Jeep Gladiator - AKA Shovel no more!!!!!!!
Ive wanted to build this thing since Walmart had em on the shelf, but i wasnt about to pay 100 bucks for the body. Then, thanks to typical walmart business practices, i picked one up and scanned it, she came up $35.00 and was still marked at $89.99!!! SOLD! so i brought her home and started searching for a set of axles, Thanks to Vitamin J, he hooked it up with a set of EMAXX axles and here we go. Parts so far: Walmart 1/6th Jeep Gladiator Body front and rear EMAXX axles TXT tranny 2 35 turn lathe motors Novak XR Hitch 805BB Servo going to start building a custom tuber chassis with class 3 hitch (guess what will hook up to the hitch?) Trailer will be built after this is done. time to start building!! |

I'd lower it so the wheels are in the wheel wells.

Why doesn't Wal-Mart Canada bring these cool lookin' rigs in? They are so far behind, they think they're in first. I still haven't seen a Nylint up here. | |
