Class of 2007
 
I was lucky enough to get an SW3 Chassis again, I sold mine once ago and I regret it so much.
What I want to do here is, build a vintage crawler out of parts from the old days. The tires will be switched to Moabs or Rock-Claws. Also, the Stampede tranny is under restoration and will be back in soon.

This is a cool build.

I've always wished I had kept all my crawlers together and never robbed parts or sold anything.

It would be cool to have a collection of the top of the line rigs from the TLT days up to the Berg/XR trucks. Im doing an OG Berg build right now with stock berg axles and a Kamikazi 3.5 chassis on DNA wheels. Its a roller and brings back lots of memories. :ror:
