| Hi-lift build coming!
HEy all, having gotten the rc bug back, and building up a competitve WK crawler, I am finally realising an old dream... having a Tamiya Bruiser.. However its a Hi-lift, but its almost the same thing.. So amped up to build it up as a scaler, even tho it was started by someone else, it is going to get warmed over, and be a great trail truck/scale street legal crawler. Will start getting pics up tommorow. Thanks! Crawler King |

| Update!
Ok so its been a couple of months since I was last able to put any cash into this project... I have decided to forgo the 3 speed trans, and put in a AX-10 trans, a set of axial beadlocks wth the rc4wd mud terrain tires (or whatever they are called) probably going to use the secondary servo to build a winch.. and a shortbed Chevy PU body to go on top, Now all I have to do is get at it... Anyone else retro fit a different trans into their rig? I am still going to run the stock chassis on her. |

Hey, I am doing a High lift rebuild on the 2.2 forum. it is titled Old high lifts don't die... In it I swapped in a Wheely King tranny on the stock frame. Look at the thread and if the pictures and my writeup don't help enough feel free to shoot me an PM. |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Yes it is an elvis lamp.... Personally I would prefer a Jerry Lee Lewis Lamp.. But they never made one. LOL When I am not crawling I am involved in the old car scene.. and collect all sorts of stuff... There is actually a Jackalope bust stuffed and mounted over the doorway...... I think I am going to have to hide fun stuff in my photos from now on... |
