No offence Griz as I think your Crawler is tits!

But scale? It may have scale accessories and a slight resemblance to a scale Jeep, but that IMO is about it.

Also, when you add Super tires and wheels to the mix, even that slight resemblance goes out the window!

Well said. The key word there is "reasonably scale". I am all about taking some liberty with a wider stance and taller tires to help get over some of the 1:1 obstacles we face. But like Griz said, this is no reason to just "give up" and start making Mars Rovers just to win. Even in the super class.

I feel the same way when someone says that about my choice of chassis.

When I said scale I was referring to the Bronco with a full length steel ladder frame, spare tire carrier, hidden steering servo with a frame mounted "steering box", and parallel four link front suspension with tracking bar.
If it ain't scale cuz the diffs are too big then we better delete all the TLT's from the scale section.
If were talkin about driveshafts then we better delete all the rigs with Pede trannies cuz I aint never seen that setup in a crawler.

No offense taken, it just bugs me that people put more emphasis on whether or not it has driveshafts than if it has a realistic chassis, steering, suspension, and interior.
Thanks for the compliment.
