its no where near complete, i still have to make a skid to tie-in the floor to the link mounts(metal) and paint the body(REID) i plan on doing a stinger for the front and a PSC rollcage maybe even a spare tire mount too.who knows? its only bee n a couple days working on it.

I dont see anything :?:

Are you concerned about the "unibody" setup? I don't see no frame and it appears you have everything bolted to the plastic. How much does the rig weigh? Everything looks sick, it's just the strength of the plastic that's bothering me. My very first built was like yours and i ended up cracking the body and wore out a couple bolt holes.

man those new jeeps are alot nicer I have a OG one and it's detail level is way down. how do you think the body will hold up with out a frame. looks like you just bolted it all to the body.

here you go fellas."thumbsup"
just read and all your questions will be answered, im too lazy to type it again.

well the pictures were pretty next time I will read all the words dooohhh. "thumbsup"

no prob man, i always do that. ask DJ he always calls me on it.

i like the motor placement. have you thought of finding a model of an engine to fit around it?

i almost love this time just as much as your fj. looks awesome kila "thumbsup". go with the swamp dawgs ;-). can't wait till it's finished so we can "test" run it :). good job kila!!

nope there isnt gonna be any room for that, 2-7.4 lipo batteries are gonna be in there along with the steering servo and the esc as well as a external BEC.

i agree, that FJ is a piece of shit compared to this, especially what i have planned for the tube work. and yeah we are gonna flog the shit outta this thing. Ryde what color? pink?:lol:

i think you should paint it gold and put some top secret decals on it ;-).

:lol:"thumbsup"

im doing the cage as we speak bitches!!:lol:

Chrome and some spinners:lol:. Sweet Ride!

Camotoeflauge it. HeHeHe

well the cage is pretty much complete just need to figure out some mounting locations for the bottom.i tried as much as i could to match the roof of sally but this is a short wheelbase rig so it looks funny,plus no dovetail.or maybe cause im tired of looking at this thing. but heres some pics.
