    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
    [​IMG]
    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 .

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

    Thought this might help you find some lights

    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.
