The Grapler fits it good!!

I've been toying with the thought of a super but I need to pay the man... Tax man that is 17k so I don't think it will happen. But you never know. I would go super budget and throw together a WK with a axial trany.

Looks cool

ROLLER!

You can also see I added servos. A Hitec HSR-5990TG servo and for now in the rear a cheapo Tower Pro MG995 servos (they really are crap, a lot of play, but they work for now). Eventually the rear will be replaced with another Hitec HSR-5990TG servo when I get an extra C-note...ha ha ha extra. (pic shows two Tower Pro servos. I was to lazy to shoot & upload another pic tonight with the 5990)

Roller Pics (wow the chassis top rail looks bent... it's not, my camera has a slight weird fish eye effect):

Nice pinch, I totally miss my TXT14ER. Get a hold of some 4:1 gears. May help keep that tranny intact a little longer

I like the Jeep body myself. Good to see another shafty coming. So does KII have one yet? Looks like you kept all the goodies from the old days, Mulchers.

That chassis fits a super real nice Since its a droop car i would move the rear upper links to just under the body post, with that much antisquat it will torque twist like a bitch.

I used an R2 Heavy Duty with a 10T Holmes Cobalt motor, plenty of reduction with the stock axle gears, and lots of power. I ran it with a 3cell lipo and 40 series Mashers.

Electronics in. I got the DX3R (I love this radio) all set-up for independent rear steer and mounted the ESC.

I'm using a Novak Rooster Crawler ESC for now. It will do fine for now. Eventually I hope to get a Tekin FX-R ESC for my 2.2 rig and rob the Mamba Max for this rig. But... That Money thing again.

SO... What battery??? I'm thinking the MaxAmps 6000HV. I have planty of room for a full size. I can go with the MaxAmps 4200HV. It is slightly smaller & lighter. I guess I'll figure this out soon enough.

Electronics all hooked up (nothing to exciting):

Try some M2 compound Crime Fighters or BowTie MTR's. Narrowed mine on some narrowed maxx sized Proline bead locks and they hook up like nothing else!
In fact....I'll sell you mine. I'm done with Supers for a while.
