My 1/18 jeep rock crawler

[jimmyc75]

Well I got one of these awsome little truck and have been having a blast. I have lifted the rear end about 3 inches and am planning on doing the front monday. What tires do you guys recommend I am thinking about a set of moab 2.2 jato tires. as far as shocks I am probably going to go with a set of hpi savage shocks with the piggybacks with real soft spings does this set up sound like it would work well? Of course I am going to upgrade the radio system. What esc do you recommend?




Thanks jim.

what I did was flippe the blue piece that the control arms screw into. change the angle of the third link. Then I took a piece of plastic tubing withand extended the rear axle about an inch and a half. basically the bic pen trick. then i ground the bottom part of the shocks flat drilled it tapped it and screwed a piece of 4-40 threaded rod int the shock. put a hiem joint on the end and there you go. as far as pics how do you post pics on a post? Oh the front is going to be a little more difficult but I think I have an idea of what to do, I'll keep you all posted.:lol:
