    You'll want to get the RTR Losi Mini Rock Crawler... comes with everything you'll need (Good price here)

    After that's its just some customizing to mount the body and you have Commander Crawler

    I want to toy around with my shocks a bit more.... would like to get some stiffer springs so i can lower the body a bit more via suspension.

    Lowered the suspension a bit with the coilovers to get a bit better flex without tipping as much. Helped a little i think..

    Messed around with the suspension today. It's give & take... backed off the coilovers to lower the body and let the tires stuff easier (keeping COG low), but the body rocks back and forth really easy due to the lighter preload.

    Looks great Matt! I just asked about your build on your you tube vid! Haha! I wanted to know how that body was. I have an axial crawler with a cheap rc 4door wrangler body. You can lower you suspension by putting internal coil springs. You'll have a lower COG and have down travel and the body will look more scale on the chassis.
    Frank. I had it when we went to RC in January. Played in the playground with it. Tons of traction!
