    Josh, I have your pen. 😉

    I'll mail you an invoice!

    Don't bother, the quality is not up to snuff, so I'll be returning it.

    That was a grade A pen. I'll have to bill you for damages. LOL!

    was my green truck. Looks like the price dropped a little this week as well :x

    So this is the hot setup, eh? Is this rig upgradable??

    =====



    Everything is upgradable! Great looking RC and its runnable out of the box! Can't complain about the price either!





    Hot Stuff... well its not the best, or even close... those "Start" at $500 and usually get up to $1000.



    This is an "Entry Level" rig that crawls out of the box. It is fully upgradable, Axle can be swapped for comp level, shocks, tires, etc... all the standard sizes. It does come with a multi hour charger which works fine as the battery it comes with will last over 2 hours...

    PERFECT - just like in rock crawling. I've got to find myself one.

    Something i would highly consider getting for a first timer! It already has Poison Spider stuff so why not? 😀



    That's what I brought to the first snow patrol.

    I see this being as bad as full scale.

    I just built my rock jock 60 for the RC today. I'm painting the cover ARB red before finishing up and putting it in.

    It's got a spool, so a pozi in the rear.

    I need to see if I can get an XJ. I know it won't have leaf springs in back but who knows, may be "full scale" will have coils some day.

    Actually you can get leaf springs in the rear. Anything with full.size you can do with 10th scale.

    REALLY? How cool is that? We'll need to talk.



    Also, that gives me an idea. 💡 More on that in a bit.

    BTW, I like your idea of building an XJ.



    My jeep I'm working on is basically making it a scale replica of my JKU - same wheels, same tires, same axles, same control arm look and same TBD color...
