[roversam]

For starters i would like to say hi to everyone there are a great deal of info and projects out there that are realy nice. So a bit about myself i am a Land Rover freek love them to death have two myself a 1996 Disco and a 1969 Series. A freind of mine is into slot cars and wanted to stop by the hobby shop and get something for it so i went over to the rc stuff and found a the ck defender well $250 dollers latter i walked out with it. i know most of your guys feelings on it and i am working to make it better. i have done a stearing swap on it and tonight fliped my tires and put a hpi reduction gear box in it. i have plans to rear stear it and 4 link it soon. anyone have any good sugestions for me of upgrades i should do to it.

p.s. i am also planing on milling up a metal frame for it when i get time. i am not a fan of a lot of plastic.

Hey Sam,

I am in the same boat you are in. I bought the CK Defender as well. I want to scale it up as much as possible but I am having a hard time figuring out what to get as well.

Here is one of my other post's that may give you some ideas on what to get.
