|  I cant even finish 1 project
Well i cam across an ebay auction just now and I couldnt pass it up...   Comes with a stampede trans with FULL metal gears (even including the diff  from the looks of the pictures)Brand new TLT axles (and rest of kit) Revo links ( looks a lil bit long with prolly use some tmaxx ones) Bruiser frame (but looks like it has a hilux front cross member  )All for a $200 Its going to get this body   Frame will be shortened 3/4s of an inch, just like my Jeep Bruiser, because the blazer body actually fits that chassis perfect. other plans include but arent limited too: Servo mounted to axle or maybe RC4WD.com Proto type servo mount ;) Full 4 link tmaxx shocks Juggsterr Bruiser dual shocks mounts custom pede trans mount (gotta research badgers truck a bit) locked - axles/trans/rear steer Custom front bumper and rear bumper Maybe see if i can fab up a interior cage... but with the skills I have wont be to likely...I havent even finished the fawkin 4runner yet...O well, At least I'll have 4 trucks for the trials comp in PA for the Monster Jam in Jan. Keep an eye on this thread for the build up when I finally get it. Mike |

Looks like a good score Mike. Let me know if you need a cage bent up. I think that body and frame together will look very good. Damit, how come I never find this stuff on Ebay. |

Is that a real Blazer body or a clod W/ shell molded on? The K5 was my first 4X4 since then I've had 2 more. One of my fav's for sure! I'll be watching for sure...

Looks like fun! If you want I have some threaded aluminum shocks (RED) that are maxx length that will go great with that body. But not with the frame lol.

| body
The body is custom made, I got it off a member from another forum, It was a built by a guy by the name of Rcrodder (not who i got it off of) but he started doing really shady work so he was banned. There probably wont be to many of these made again...super sancho (aggy) has a surbaban body by the same guy but it took alot of work by another member to make it presentable. This one isnt in to bad of shape, the fender was cracked which I glued already, its going to need some sanding and some reinforcing & body work and then a cool paint scheme. It was a clod buster, and has been shortened about 3/4 of an inch and then had a cap fabricated onto it (and this one isnt card board , unlike some of the other guys work). Ill keep you guys updated. my goal is to make it look like k-5 from PS2's test off road wide open.  If you guys like that body check out my other custom chevy clod body    later Mike |
