| Fiberglass Jefferson Chassis (Two day build)
I started this project at 11:00 last night with a sheet of fiberglass and some delrin stock. I have to leave for a comp at 7:00 tomorrow I have to work from 4-10 today It's going to tight. Still have the: upper links and mounts Servo mounts Find my other trans case and mount it down drive shafts steering linkage Battery mounts Body mounts Body 2 hours left before work. 6 hours left after work if I go on 6 hours of sleep Might build the truck in the back seat of the car on the way to the comp. Later, time is ticking |

Got tired of having a chassis with a body and made the jump to tubers before even driving this rig. Sold it on ebay about a month or two later I noticed Revin9k posted it up in the rockwerk's body thread. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showp...&postcount=289 |
