Thats a nice little Jeep. The only thing now is a couple switch/shift levers. I like it. Have you run it enough to see how those axles hold up yet? Yea, don't get rid of it. Give me a week to finish up a couple other deals on my plate. Once I'm ready, I'll shoot ya PM about it and a Clod on my shelf. |

Some interesting lines on it. Oddly enough, I like it. Reminds me of a SCORE truck with out the fiberglass body.

you should get that styrene diamond plate and make the back look like a true flatbed, maybe make those short wooden fence's around the box

I haven't been working on crawlers just yet, but I am still collecting parts for my 8x8 and the new comp rig. Here's what I have been working on. Clod, modified TXT and bone stock TXT. The Suburban is almost half E-Maxx. |

No thread. I didn't do much to it. I traded for it with an E-Maxx trans already in it. I redid new mounts to relocate the trans further back to fit the stock battery tray up front. Trimmed up the stock Maxx motor plate with the stock dual E-Maxx Titans to fit between the stock chassis plates. Bolted up some Maxx drive shafts, threw in an EVX2 ESC connected to 6 cell stick backs and that was it. The axles on this TXT were already locked. The only hard parts were the brackets and for me, the 90 degree steel angle wasn't hard. Oh yea, thank god for the slipper clutch. Full throttle tests with the slipper too tight on carpet, instant back flip. It runs at stock E-Maxx speeds, and it's locked in low gear for now. I may have to throw Revo shocks and springs on it. I can count the scratches on both TXT's combined on one hand. They are clean and fresh. The stock one is about as close to mint box stock as you can get with out buying one. It's too nice, like shelf queen nice. I was gonna get rid of the Clod but I was kinda waiting to see how the TXT worked in the snow. Sinks like a rock but throws a really cool roost from all four wheels. I'm still mulling it over, I want a snow basher and the TXT's are too heavy. The suburban one weighs 15 lbs. I would kill for a fresh electric Blizzard. Last edited by Mriswith; 01-26-2009 at 06:22 PM. | |

I would keep the TXT on the shelf, you got two I'd like to keep the CR-01 nice and fresh but I know I'll end up scratching the shit out of it. you talking about a Kyosho Blizzard? I have wanted one for years but always kept it on the back of the list. TattooKenny just had one for sale but it was a package deal with 5 different RCs for two grand. The Revo shocks sound like a good idea for you TXT. We should snow bash, I have a stock E-Revo with only one set of batteries that last about 20 minutes Finally finished the CR-01 Last edited by 701 Technique; 01-27-2009 at 09:13 AM. | |

Yeah it was a scout, but I had a FJ body painted by Mikes custom paint. The roofrack is by dinky. The tuber bumper and rock rails were actually made by kieseng79 in Malaysia, I ordered them in September and they accidentally got shipped by sea and not air, took almost 4 months before they arrived at my door. I had almost given up on them The buld thread is right here http://rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135116 Your Losi looks good, I have yet to drive one of those little buggers. Hopefully soon I can convince someone to let me wheel one |

Got me feeling a little jealous. I just got rid of my MRC and I've been wanting the SCX-10. I didn't realize it was out yet. I'm not too jealous though. The MRC is geting me a fresh set of Bully axles and I just ordered the SCX. I'm finally gonna join the 1.9 and MOA mafias. Still liking the Wreckluse, especially the trunk |

Do i need to upload my pics on another site and post a url under the insert image option before i can get pics uploaded here, cause i was going to post my stampede with skis and rear duallys. Also wonderin' how the trail truck is going marc, I looked up those axles and they don't seem that hard to make so if you can't come up with something don't worry about it too much, i can probably figure something out. You should post more pics of your mini chad, what did you use for a full size servo plate in the front? |
