Thanks for the positive comments guys I shoogooed the ring magnets last night and waited overnight for the shoegoo to cure. I think it will be successful. I will put some clear packing tape over the the shoogooed ring magnets so that the magnets don't glue themselves together while out on the trail. |

I finally got around to fitting up the Vanquish light bar which is running directly off the 3s lipo. Bright is an understatement... I'm very impressed with the quality of light. A new Hitec steering servo was installed and a new Castle waterproof BEC aswell. I also installed the JK hardtop. After pondering whether or not I cut the hardtop to expose the interior details, I decided to go for it. I think it look pretty good. |

You kept the stock wheelbase?

Yes stock wheelbase. It works well with the Axial JK shell.

I am not sure why but I thought you were using the New Bright JK body. I really like the magnet mount no more ugly body clips. It look great. |

Thanks mate. The Jeep body has made the Traxxas into a fantastic crawler. No more getting hung up on the stupid big bumpers and Defender body.

A little video I put together of my 8 year old son wheeling the Jeep at our local crawling spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...&v=wRBYrej8q48 |

Another vid my son and I put together rock crawling in the front garden with a set of 2.2 KLR's fitted. It seemed to go alright... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GX8hiGtMbw |

Great looking rig. Your 1:1 is a 2.8 CRD? I have a 2006 Liberty(probably cherokee for you) 2.8 CRD and its been fun, but a challenge. Its a pretty finicky vehicle. I do have a custom built bigger turbo and self-tune it. I know the JK’s have a newer version of the 2.8. Last edited by mass-hole; 04-27-2019 at 09:27 AM. |

Yep my JK has the 2.8 turbo diesel with the 5 speed auto. It's had a green diesel ecu remap which has really woken up the old girl and given it plenty of power to turn the 37's. I've also got the 4:1 Rubicon transfer case and 4.88 diff gears, so she crawls very nicely | |

I just installed a Tekin Roc412 brushless motor and Castle Creations ESC. The Jeep absolutely rips in high range now. It also crawls really well in low range. I should've done the upgrade years ago... Anyway, here's a quick vid we put together of the weekends adventures. Filmed by my 10 year old daughter, staring my 12 year old son and his bomber and the TRX4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7TxthAnskU |
