Ok, was lucky enough to get one of the last New Bright JK's at Wal-Mart for $20.00, now I need to build this. I'm using the Axial scale frame, with Axial axles. I want to run the motor up front with the steering servo and have a transfer case in the middle of the frame to mimic the full scale Jeep. I have an HPI gear reduction box and was thinking of using a Integy T11 motor and bolting the HPI box to the back and using this as my transmission, then using a drive shaft from this to the transfer case. The Tamiya 3 speed transmisions are cool but I don't have a budget for that, plus I would like to build a dummy engine around the motor for scale looks.

What do you think? Any advice would be great. Also suggestions for transfer cases would be great too.

Thanks!

Wow, that looks killer! Not sure I can afford it though.

I really like the HPI GRU. Let me know if you need any help. I don't mind helping or opening up my shop for scaletastic building.
