| Cherokee crawler (second rig coming soon)
Hey guys, figured its time to post up my crawler - parts are on the way for my next truck so ill keep this as a build thread. The jeep was originally a trekker I had for a few months, but like the rest of my RCs I couldn't leave it stock. It's running an 80T stroker on a 500mah 2s and I couldn't be happier with the drive train munching torque - thanks again Dan Don't have much to show for the next build but it will have a set of these sweet headers (sorry it's a bit blurry): |

Lol, I meant to do it sooner but I went camping in Payson, but guess what! The whole camp site was lined with rocks, it’s like they built a whole course for me! Literally hours of fun. Turns out my truck makes a great flashlight too | |||

You HAVE to tell me what you did to get this body to look and fit right? This is by far the best scale trail trekker I have ever seen, granted I did just buy a jeep so I'm a little biased. You did a killer job man! Love the color and the bumper. Lights need not be mentioned they stand on their own. And an awesome trailer to top it off! That chassis does not look stock, did you get that off eBay? And did you have to lengthen the truck? I appreciate the info my friend and again awesome rig! |

Awesome man thanks for the info! I really would like to keep the interior, but I'm not too skilled at fabricating chassis and parts for these thing yet. There is a "scale chassis" on eBay maybe I will try that out with this body! Awesome job dude. |

Is the aluminum plate for the shocks screwed in to the original bottom shock mounting location? That is genius!
