Default Spare parts scaler

Jeep Body (from crashed and destroyed iA prototype)

JetDesigns first gen scale chassis (originally for a WK trans was originally in a c10/WK)

R2 (From 1st comp rig)

55t (from first comp rig)

Mashers on axial beadlocks (from bronco tuber and first comp rig)

1/10 duratrax front shocks (crashed and destroyed evaders)

Maxx Shafts (got me, came out of spare parts box)

links (misc brakeline that either was too short or was links in a previous truck)

Rod ends (from broken trucks or spare parts bin)

esc xl5 (from slash)

Cell Pro Lipo Saver (from old comp rig)

Radio (from Duratrax CC)

Axles (old comp rig)

Servo (was on axles)

Axial skid (who know's, showed up in my box)

The idea behind the truck was to build something without buying a single part...

very nice. i have seen these types of builds a few times before and it leads me to think, how much rc stuff do you guys have? i maybe have an extra set of wheels or shocks laying around and that is about it. maybe a servo or two. here you guys build awesome trucks by what you have laying around. lol good job nonetheless.

Keep in mind, I have been in crawling for about 5yrs. Ive been designing chassis's and selling them for 2 (rcc vendor for 1). Ive got enough parts at home to build at least 1 more 2.2 crawler (pti based) and 1 more super (clod) And that doesnt include the 1.9 under construction or the pro-mud truck under construction.

Currently this truck is dead... mud bogging killed the front diff (see vid below)

I've got some vids of his rig and my Wheely King (the dark blue TJ)

Sorry about the shakey camera work, I was swatting off mosquitos

I've left the slipper in my WK, that's why it's clicking when bound up. I pulled it out of the mud thinking that the servo was buried (it's got a 9100T...) but the water and mud weren't even near the servo
