| yet another jeep
sadly i went with the jeep body even though it seems like every one has them. for my first car, i'm pretty happy with how it is. paint isn't perfect, but its more 'authentic' to my big one. you've probly seen luckymonkeys bronco, posted last night i believe. we built ours just about the same. i got one first, then he got his Specs are WB 13 even with a 60/40 weight split to the front stock chassis and tranny with tensioner moabs on stampede wheels narrowed an inch custom beadlocks hitec HS-5465 servo HPI TF-3 remote and reciever. duratrax custom battery pack stock txt motore, 27t i think. its most likely goning to get replaced moped esc on its way for the 6th week :-x onto the pics my 1:1 is loosly based on. they don't have any YJ bodies... flexing on my car Front Side Top i got a little over anxiuse mounting the body, and its back a tad to far with some slight rubbage at full flex. future upgrades are. stealth tranny so i can cut the chassis. wheel widners, maybe up the shocks dunno yet, 35t motor to work with the moped, and maybe shorten it a bit to around 12 |

OMG its actually running! i got the ESC to night, and the guy almost wasn't going to let me have it, he was like, well, your dad should sign for it, but since your so close to being 18 i'll let you sign. so far i've already snapped a drive shaft :-? so down to rear wheel drive. i see a new tranny in the very soon future

| dmaage report
so after the first day of wheeling damage report is: sever slippage of the tranny but was easily fixed with lots of krazy glue, broken drive shaft, fixed with a piece of round stock and krazy glue, and tweaked rear drive shaft rear wheel stabilzer came out. once they brake i'm finding a new alternative, maybe brass or something solid i can drill out. rolled once, no damage
