| THX guys I kinda screwed the body up though if you know a real 1:1 srtoppe looks like you will note that the fender flares are BODY color not black.........I think i did it out of habit I had just masked off the rubicon body for my savage before i did the bronco! |

| based on the mockup i think i'll have to trim the fender flares completely off!! so it will look more like a real Stroppe I got the idea after a tour of jeffs bronco graveyard and Jeff has one that won several awards an i thought it would look good as a crawler |

| I have been contemplating a brushless setup for my next build. One of the LHS has some Outrunner's that range from super small to about 540 size. Not sure which would best suit this application though. What are you planning on using? |

| Nice truck! Looks like you've got some caster issues. Either move the upper link mount point at the chassis back a hole or two, or twist in the ball ends on the upper links. |

| Isn't it backwards? The spur gear should be in back. |
