    I've looked at the mini-revolvers, not sure if I want to go that route. I really just want something cheap to get started and make mods later.

    How about printing the above photo and then reducing it on a color copier or in a photo editor?

    worked some more on the rc this weekend ,
    ran a small bar under the fenders and tied in in tho the rock sliders

    then ditched the stock bumper for something that is more rock friendly for this aluminum body. Not a fan of the stinger look but it will keep damage off the hood, and had a hell of a time bending that hoop(cold rolled steel is very hard to bend cleanly) around the grill. took 2 trys to have sides that matched .

    will you be able to swap between Lipo and Nimh easily once it is resolved?

    apparently the "addendum" to the instructions that only can be read on-line that says I can use it the way it is ... on the #2 setting ...... Its all good. time to move forward and re-gear woohoo!
    and yes jwjeep with the push of a button and resetting neutral I can use both types of batterys........and thanks I will check out that led site.

    John,,, I don't really know how to take that ,,,,haha,

    in another video I laid it over and sherri said I yelled "OH NO!!!!!",,,,,don't think I ever said that when Sway lays over .


    you guys can build something very simular ,but first you need a 80's G.I. Joe Jeep off Ebay . then buy axles lockers ,rims/tires,cage, electronics,and that kit is 4 linked all around....... much better/softer suspension.Pretty Pricey ,I had everything already ,and a buddy donated the axles/lockers(spool) ,rim/tires. so I don't have much into this right now.
