    I havent decided what I am doing with it, I dont have any spare axles right now so it might end up on Ebay, or maybe Ill be forced to by another set of TLT axles. I used the frame that was originally under the Bronco as a template for shock mounts etc so it should work pretty good.

I decided its getting WK axles/trans and some sort of semi fast motor (Maybe a cobalt puller or an inrunner brushless) Its turning out nice, I have some tin work left to do on it now and figure out where to mount the batteries (2 4000mah 2s lipo
)

Thought I would post up some progress....
I switched to an r2 tranny since I plan to run an inrunner brushless and I just dont think the Wk trans would hold the power. All Links are now mounted same with Shocks. I went with Duratrax Evader Fronts all around (I had them) I did a little tuning to them for better articulation. Its more of a mud/trail truck than a full on crawler and I want to be able to run in the sand when I go to Badlands. Also, as you can prolly see, I had to remove the lower cross bracing and rework it for proper link mounting/geometry.

thought I would share some updated pics since I didnt have it @ the comp and had several people asking about it.... Mamba 4600 on order, hopefully have it for the weekend, diffs are still open, I considered JB welding them but I think if I lock them I will use a locker soe I can go back to open if needed. I added an aluminum skid over the entire bottom. I figure if I am going to rock race it I needed some protection.
