Just stack up old, broken, or removed Jeep parts. That thing looks awsome. Get them video's up.

Larry, I can see your yard now... cinder blocks, tires, wood piles! The neighbors just shake there heads! That thing is killer, bring it to the next ride!
I did not have time to get out the chain saw and cut up some of the fallen pines and move them last night. I will before this weekend is over.

And it will go on with me next couple of trip.

Alright bringing back an OLD thread!

I finally got me one:








And I have done a little work on the xmod. Springs, bearings, gears, cheap crap, and shaved the flares some. Currently trying to sell it on CL for $50 and get it gone.

Nice Losi!

Must be in the air, I did my first comp/shootout on the 9/3 and place 2nd out of 10 folks. I just bought a new ESC, Lipo batteries, 4 link plates, tires and sold off my old stuff.

Might be picking up an Axial RTC on the cheap tomorrow.

Good stuff. I found some rocks in the backyard and cleared out a place on the hill and have been rock crawling ever since. I flipped the shocks per everyone saying that it performs better but I am not sold on it. It did limit flex some but almost to much. Biggest thing is relocating the battery from the top of the chasis to somewhere lower to get the COG down...

Either way this thing is a lot of fun!

Man o man having a blast with this thing. I had to put back together a drive shaft but other than that no problems. I put the battery on the back axle to lower COG and I need some wheel weights on the fronts now.

Here is my "rock garden" on a little hill in my backyard





And here are some pictures:

Traded my AX10 ARTR for a new Losi 1/10 last night. Keep my handwound motor, HB Rover tires. 

Now I got to figure out what/how to paint the body.
