anyone?

depends on what look you want

if you want a more close to scale look it doesn;t really matter what body you get, maybe a your favorite vehicle or the one you hav always wanted or to resemble your 1:1

if you are going to compete you need to do some major cutting in the fender wells so your rig articulates better and in the front and rear bumper areas for better approach and departure angles, that is whjy you see alot of baja bugs out there

my .02

Hi there, just a comment on this pic, it seems as if you haven't shaved the tabs on the bottom of the tranny?

[chivas72]

i used some washers to eat up that space so i wouldn't have to cut them

[xxizzer421xx]

thATS what i did put spacers under the tranny raised it a little

i need a knew camera its to fuzzy when i take a close of shot!

Looking good now, the tires and wheels are going to make the next biggest difference at this stage. M2ks seem to be the all around favorite for 2.2 comps unless you're going with a modified tire. You mentioned the body, a lot of people use the Bug for another reason also. Because of the rounded off shape many times in comps it will roll back over when other bodies stay stuck upside down.

yea but when i first started the hobby i didnt rly know what to get u know? and i dont rly have crawling spots for rocks but i have ordered G hawgs which will be going on narrowed rims and the tread will be cut i am going for more of a scale look on this rig even tho the chassis is a comp chassis but that was my mistake in the beginning soo im just trying to turn it around n make it what i want i guess? lol im not sure i guess iwill have perfomence like a comp chassis but the scale look
