Exclamation My $25 CXT Tow rig !

OK, so I got this a wally world the other day on clearance, $25 NIB ! How can you go wrong? 2WD, dump bed, 1/6 scale, I think this might turn out to be an awesome build. I am going to make a custom aluminum trailer to hold my tlt comp rigs. The scale actually works very well, because if any of you have seen one of these in real life, you know that they are huge compared to a regular jeep or cruiser. I think this might be really cool. I have an extra set of 1/6 nylint wheels and tires that might work, I also measured the axles, same as a tlt. Maybe 4wd conversion with pede trans and real electronics? we will have to see, on to the pics....

It's a " small scale " hauler. I think the mods might move it, but we will see.

And jeez, how many 2.2s do you have. Once I'm seeing a brown FJ, then a red+black Jeep Rubicon, with another one in the backround, then a silver chevy, with a Twarg stuffed in the shelves and a 1/6 Nylint in the backround. !!!

$25? Crap, I'm going to have to hunt one of those down!

Does that thing have any power? Can it pull a 10 pound rig around?

Damn you, Moggy!

Now I've gotta go to Wally World and see if they're on sale here, too. Not bad for $25.
