My new 2.2 Buildup

Well after deciding to turn my Bruiser/TLT hybrid into a completely scale 1.9, I knew I'd be hating myself for not having a 2.2 crawler. So when the chance came to get another pair of TLT axles at a decent price, I grabbed them, not knowing what would come next. So after a few weeks of just searching the site and watching everyone's builds, I came across Kaetwo's 5.0 compressor. It was awesome looking, just like the rest of his fleet and builds in the past, so I sent him a message and put in my order. But then I needed an Axial trans, no big deal, its at a great price at TCS. But then I came across a steal for 2 pede tranny's for 30 bucks shipped. Took it right away, but then had to message Kaetwo again to change my order. Fortunately he was extremely patient with me and extremely helpful, awesome guy to do business with and ask questions guys! Thanks man! Anyways, I loved the look of the 5.0 compressor because it was anodized black, no big deal to me cause I was just going to shoot it with flat black paint anyways, but Kaetwo said he was making a run of the K2-3L anodized black, and lucky me I got the very first production version of the anodized black K2-3L! It's an awesome looking chassis guys! Extremely easy to throw together too! I keep getting off track, but anyways here's a little rundown of my truck, I'm going to be running a pede trans and TLT axles, early 50's pickup body, 12" wheelbase, Tamiya shocks, and a Lathe motor. I still need to make a huge order and get the motor, an ESC (not sure what I'm going to go with yet) some miscellaneous screws and locknuts, narrowed pede front wheels, Hitec 645mg front servo, and some other parts including driveshafts, yokes, and body mounts. Hopefully I can place the order tonight and get the parts next week so I can have the truck running before I start classes again in a couple weeks. Here's a couple pic's for ya

For tires I think Im going to get the Losi's. Everyone loves them so I figured I can binge a little more for them. I'm also going to be putting on my oldschool rckjeep rockrings!
