| Goodbye Bronco, HELLO JEEP!
Well I have this problem with not being able to hold onto a truck for very long. I dont know if its the fact that I enjoy building them so much, or if I just get bored of the same truck after a while. But the bronco is going to be leaving. And I just completed my new SW2 Jeep Rubicon! The old bronco is here: Scale Bronco/Comp Crawler Check it out. Nothing special for the specs, same old stuff...

Sweet looking body! Out of curiosity, what is the wheelbase of that?

Great paint job nluv, I wish I could paint 1/2 as good as you. Gotta love the sw-2, that chassis rocks. What are you planning to do with the other 5 you have? Am I going to get to run next to this awesome jeep this weekend at folsom? |

Ben I just realized when you mentioned the other 5 you meant the chassis im guessing? Those are going to my LHS they are going to be carrying benders chassis And for their shop crawlers. I built this truck overnight to influence them to get going on theirs!!! I will get some pics up of the indoor rock pile that I brough in there too.

How did you mount the batteries? Doing a SW2 buildup now, I was thinking of going with 2/3 cells, any good suggestions?

Ya man, use velcro over the servo, im using some heavy duty industrial strength velcro and it keeps the battery there no matter how hard the spill. Although my current pack is a hump pack 7 cell, im afraid it raises the cog more than a flat 6 cell pack. both will mount up though. In this pic you can see the flat stick pack (2/3A cells)
