Maybe wait and see if someone will trade a 1/6 body jeep for 1/10th scale parts?

If it is top heavy can use rim weights inside the axle cases instead of wheels to keep rotating weight down. IMO 1/6 NB body with nylint tires look killer, 1/10th axles and rims should make it more scale. Would be a nice scale rig (Trail rig with lights etc) Maybe make this project one that is done over time. Have it running but add to it as you go.

I like this one my self..

cobra.....I really like the wheels you have on grave digger. I know they are nylint, but where did you get em..I might like to run them on the 350. If you could would you mind posting a picture of the wheels next to some NB's wheels to compare.


In the process of Building. I not to sure if it ever stops!
