Default Well well well, look what got delivered to my home today.

Got it from Ultimate Hobbies for $120 shipped, good deal to me. I didn't think the box would be so small.



Wow, the stuff in the box is super small, look at that tiny body.



Oh look, my body donor also arrived today. I got it on ebay for $15 shipped. Auction said it was untested but funny thing is it actually works and is a pretty good crawler in low gear. Still gotta sacrafic its body though.



Here it shows that the body has about a 10" WB. Good enough for my scale crawler.



Here are two pics showing the difference in size of the Max Climber body and the Radio Shack toy body.





I know the wheels are probably gonna rub but I'll deal with that later.

I actually have a TLT rockbuster coming in the that I got off of ebay that will be the one to remain stock as well as being the broken parts donor. This Max Climber will be modified from the start. I will add bearings to the trans and lock the diffs as well as figure out how to make some links for it.
