Default Another crazy idea of mine

I just re-bodied my Wheely King crawler (which is going more the way of a trail rig of late.... :rolleyes: ) with a HPI Jeep Wrangler Rubicon body and was looking at that and my new Losi Micro Desert Truck and realized it seemed like the Losi would look like a 1/5th scale stadium truck in comparison. Now I'm thinking about making a mount so I can strap the MDT to the back of the crawler to make it look like it's hauling a 1/5 scale RC on the trail.
Here's the WK on it's own (sorry, cell phone pics to follow)

and the MDT

and a couple pics of the two together with the MDT on the back of the "cage"

I figure that I can use about 8 zip ties and battery hold down straps for the new E-Flite Blade 400 (below) to make the hold down for the MDT

What do you guys think?

It can't go on the trail but it can haul the toys to the starting line...




It's still W.I.P...
