1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Scaler

[iateacookie2]

I've been working on this for a while, and I guess it's time to share. Its a Lindberg 1/20 1994 jeep grand cherokee model. I got in on ebay for only 19.00! The actual crawler is mostly a stock mrc (for now). With a blade 5.5 smc chassis.

Future Uprades-
Predator 90T BB
Axel Wideners
Aluminum gearbox
and depending on how much room I have, the Miniqlo Miclows
(is there anything else I should get, maybe the rear axel lockout?)

Im about to dremel out a peice of the floor of the jeep, to make room for the motor and transmission.

Here it is as of now!

Glad to see this!! I also picked up one of these bodies at a flea market for a $1 and have been messing around building a styrene frame but Im not happy with it....where did you get your frame from? it looks killer!! should be a great combo w/ the predator. Cant wait to see what you come up with

The chassis looks to be a blade chassis from crawlerX

Thanks guys! I'll update as soon as possible, and yes its the blade 5.5, its pretty sweet, just not much articulation. But its a scaler, so thats okay

Heres an update! I got holes drilled in the floorboards so you can see how it fits, I also got the interior painted and a 110T Predator motor, It's sweet, so much torque. Whats next:
Miniqlo tires
BWD wideners
painted seats
rearview mirrors
roofrack
front/rear bumper
headlights
and lots of other small scale accessories

On to the pictures!
