heres a couple of mods I have done to my 1:6 jeep.
I know have 11 inches of flex and hideous traction at not too much expense. There is too much snow outside to play on the rocks. I can drive up 2 regualr steps before it back flips though.

I have a spare channel on my radio gear too. Cant decide upon, winch, dig or something else.

As you can see, it is in driveable stage but I am finishing off an external roll cage and neatening the shell.

Open for comments and ideas.

no sir, new bright, NYLINT wheels and tires. it was the cheapest way to get some good scale rockcrawler tires to fit a 1:6 scale. I picked up 6 for 30 bucks including ship,

I cut the inside hub off my new bright rear wheels and screwed and JB'd the hubs into the back of the rear wheels to get the same spacing front and rear. the fronts were easy. just remove your hex shaped plastic piece from the rim NB , dremel it down about a mil alround and jam it in the hex fitting of the nylint rim
