That's cool, you should black wash the grill on the micro(thin out some black paint and put it on the grill and wipe off so it looks cut out). Also think both trucks would look good with some fender flares.

Thanks man I did paint the grill though if you look close in post 53 you can see the inset is painted.

I have thought of fender flares but like the natural look myself.

I like it sans flares, too. Just something else to limit wheel travel.

I used Dubro rid ends and 2-56 rod I think. No spacers needed unless were talking about something else.

Oh ok I think I used the extender delrin from the chassis and them short and the screws are from the stock chassis. I'll look when I get home man and confirm this.

Like the build! I think the 1/20 Lindberg Yota would have fit perfectly, although its a 1992 body style.

Makes me want to work on my micro Jeep again.

Thanks! The 92 body doesn't really appeal to me so much and wouldn't. Match the big brother rig.

Here's a pic of when I shortened the chassis to make it fit the body using the stick chassis.

Great build! I've bought the same body, You have the 4.5 chassis but you shortened it yes? Would you say the 4.0 was the better fit?
