Here she is topless




Here it is parked on my brothers NewBright

So what you think and also the redbull idea didn't pan out could'nt find stickers for it so its gonna be red w/ black and XRCars stickers and the factory creeper stickers

Looks good !!

[icemancrawler]

Thanks i'm looking at getting a set of mud slingers but can't find them anywhere

Cool man I like the FJ Cruizer body! Any chance you could lower it a bit? Either way looks cool. (paint it red to match the links)

I never liked the stock creeper body and anything scale is just amazing! Here is mine

[punishermustang]

ive got a new bright land rover body it looks pretty bad but it would have to have alot of trimming so the tires wont rub oh and i see you have a 3ch venom controller how do you like it? i just ordered one got it on sale at ckrccrawlers.com.

Shes new in your house and she is already flashing your friends topless. This one is going to be trouble!

[icemancrawler]

The radio came with it and i'm planning on haveing the links and bead lock rings chrome plated. but the venom body is red and black should have pics up by next week

[_TRX_]

There is nothing better than topless pics at 4 in the morning.

[sidewaystreak]

looks real good i like the fj too

[icemancrawler]

Here are some pics of the painted body it's actually red the lighting is kinda weird so it looks orange





So what you think. The tape didn't stick well so the paint blead a bit but i think it looks good

[icemancrawler]

Starting work on a stinger for the front, a light bar ont top (non working), and a spre tire on the rear cage for the venom body. as for the fj woring on a spare tire and some rocker panels pics should be up soon hopefully. also the proline spider body whats the peoples opinion yay or nay?

[Rockfrog]

looks good. But, might I suggest lowering the suspension preload? just run the adjusters down on the front and about 1/4" on the rear to start. She's sitting too tall right now, and it may prove prone to roll overs.

just did that yesterday but thanks for the tip

[icemancrawler]

So I said i'd get pics up of the stinger and it's taking a bit longer than i thought to put it together i'm having mounting trouble as in I don't know where to mount it to for the best possible outcome and performance a little help please

[icemancrawler]

Here's some update pics. I made my own stage 2 suspension setup by cutting the battery tray and relocating the shocks to the chassis uprights, also removed the front skidplate. still working on the stinger I broke the first attempt cause what i thoght was a steel rod was actualy a plated copper rod soooo gotta try again any way here it is






here is a shot so you can see the homemade upgrade

[icemancrawler]

So I was looking around for some scale inspiration and found my dream rig here it is. It's called the Ford EX concept




Pretty sweet huh

[super-maxx23]

[icemancrawler]

[icemancrawler]
