project "cheap trick"

[txjeeper]

This is my newest endeavor. I got tired of breaking nylints so I bought this a VMG because the price was right. This truck really sucks out of the box, so Im mixing mini lst parts into this little critter. So far Im just running the motor and rear MLST shocks. The mlst body will stay on until I get ahold of the body I want. Id like to go scale here, with an old jeep or chevy body. Im trying to find an old j-truck body.

SO FAR:

Locked diffs
lengthened wheelbase with custom links and traxxas rod ends
MLST frenzy 370 motor
MLST shocks
MLST body
Bearing kit
losi 10 tooth output gear
Ni Mh 6 cell
custom steering setup


Hope ya like it!






Im going to make some adapters to get some nylint wheels/tires. Stay tuned for further developments.

FSJs are cool. Should make for a unique scale rig too.

Yeah I'm hoping i can find the J truck body. Finding it in the right size will be an even bigger miracle!
