    I got started on mine. I'm pondering leaving the doors off and painting it red.

    I'm liking that! I've been thinking about building/buying an RC crawler anyway, now I have more incentive!

    The body is from a cheesy RC made by Dickie. Had to search online to find one.... usually eBay or Amazon has them.

    It's getting there!!!

    Definitely going to need to lower the body, but only about 1/2". It looks like the tires tuck inside pretty good when flexed so i might not have any rubbing issues.

    I have a few ideas for better body attachment methods but I'm going to hold off until I have the new wheels/tires/shocks on.... then ill modify the body mount as low as possible to not rub when fully flexed. Thinking of putting the body on a pivot as well for quick battery access.
