Do you have to get a squirrel to work on this rig? It's tiny.

Have you tried heating the Alum? I'm guessing it should expand faster than the screw making it easier to remove.

Looks awesome man! How do you like the HR Air Shocks? I've been looking to pick some up for awhile now - but they are always out of stock. |

sorry for the delay in building... i like the HR shocks so far.. bought a micro trekker..    the stock trekker chassis is a direct fit for the jeep body. just have to mount it up..   the other chassis i had, just wasnt quite long enough. i will use it up tho,now to find a body for it. |

The RC4WD micro Roc locs,how do they compare to the stock Trekker tirees? , as in size and grip? Its going to look nice with the commander body on there. |
