Default Micro jeep teaser

I was looking for a little less weight and a better centre of gravity for my micro scaler. So this is what I have came up with ......")
I cut all the mud guards off and used styrene to clean up the lines around the front. I used a coat hanger to build the roll bar in the back so it can take a beating ...lol
I run a 7.4 volt 2 cell lipo and have lengthened the rear links and tailshaft .
just a short teaser to get a look and much more to come ......;)

Enjoy....

Why on our SCA Vimeo webpage, of course! They are free to use by our members. Some (like Kenworthit) incorporate SCA into their own intro.

SHAMELESS (but hopefully HARMLESS plug):

The Scale Crawler Alliance is a non-profit group for and about the creation of scale crawling videos. We have set up shop on Vimeo, a quality video hosting site. Our page is a gathering place to watch each others' scale videos, share knowledge and bum around and chat. There is a small forum on there as well.

I've never really advertised it much, we have been growing by word-of-mouth. So far we have attracted some great talent - you'll probably recognize a lot of guys (and girls) on there! So far we have 101 members and 585 scale videos!

We welcome anyone who makes, or is learning to make or just appreciates quality scale videos!

LINK in my sig!
