Cool "Comp-Cut Corvette" -Action shot added

I have been working on my 7yr old daughter's 1st crawler and it was time for her to select a body. I found this cheap Vette R/C @ the 2nd hand store and she "had" to have it! So we stripped off all of the Axial green & orange and went with a blue to match. I'm sure it will get trashed but oh well. Definately different but she loves it which is all that matters

thats cool.. nothing wrong with a car body on a crawler. a friend of mine runs a datsun on road car body on his ax10.

License plate needs to say ZR1CRWLR or CUBECWLR. Looks like an ice cube on wheels. But I like it. Very cool, often wondered about a camaro or corvette body..

As soon as you get my niece on the rocks with that thing, she is going to crawl up your behind and you will inevitably play follow her leader.

Spring cups are MIA at the moment...very observant of you though. I had to get it assembled to check out the suspension changes.

I'm sure you're right Brother...especially if she drives anything like your son


Sorry for cutting up a perfectly good ZR1 fellas(not too sorry though...it was $2.50)

Haha down here in TX since I travel to LA as well you see the craziest mud rigs and cars. Ever seen a lifted Chevy Nova with side duals out behind the rear door riding on 37's? Let alone the horrible homebrew exocage and some cheapo Chinese mud tires? That made my day lol.

Btw to the OP you're missing spring perches on your rear shocks they may have fallen out. Better check your fronts too.

Thanks for the heads up...just found 'em. And uh no...I have NEVER seen a lifted Nova on 37" Chinese mud tires. Weird

I'm not too worried about weight..what does the bedliner do stiffen it up so it won't crack as easily? I plan on painting the inside of the body so it looks better anyway.
