Too Cool bro!! Was it a complicated build? If you dont mind spilling the beans on how you made it, I'd love to make one after my '99 Blue Sport TJ. Good things do come in small packages.  |

thanks guys... the body came from Wal-Mart and started out looking like this in black... http://www.toysrus.com/product/prodp...065&totCount=0 the chassis I built from styrene I beams and sheet and I made the drive shafts longer using square brass rod it is temporary but it is 1 inch longer than stock.... waiting on supplies the LHS didnt have... go figure :? Also sporting full droop suspension with red rubberbands.. Last edited by 03NCTJ; 12-11-2009 at 08:29 AM. |

I was able to find a couple different jeep TJ shells online... both New Brights. A 1:20 scale like yours and a 1:24 also. Since my scale crafting skills arnt the best and wouldnt be up to building that sweet new chassis you came up with, could I get away with using the 1:24 TJ shell on the losi micro crawler with not much modification needed. Like, just some body work and maybe rearranging some things on the crawler so the body sits right if I have to? Since I cant find the measurements of the TJ shell and after not finding one at wallymart Im not even sure if its a good idea to begin with. Whether it would its too long or short for the micro crawler. Both are 1:24, so Im hoping its a match. Once again, Sweet Build! |

My losi micro crawler jeep I think the body could be lowered some but I think it was easier to build the 1:20 even if you dont want to do the body work you could just do a 1.5 inch stretch to the chassis and run the LJ as is....
