    I'm not sure. I think it was custom built. A know my friend's uncle whom I bought it from custom made the chassis. What's awesome is that it has a rear locker on it. When it's climbing all I have to do is hold a button and she digs in.

    I think the batteries are a little on the older side I also may just need to charge them a little longer. They were only on for about 15 minutes.

    Had a surprise on my doorstep when I got home tonight!!!

    Had a bit too much to drink last weekend one night and ended up bidding on a used Losi Night Crawler on eBay.... be damned that i won!

    I didn't actually mount the body on it yet, just sat it on it. I'll raise it up about 1/2" when I mount it to give the tires more room to flex. But this is going to be fun

    That is so cool Matt! It should be even more fun now.

    That's funny how you said you had too much to drink and bought something on ebay. I've done the same thing one time but it was on jegs or summit racing, lol.

    lol yeah man it was pretty funny... i remembered bidding on it but my wife didnt (she wasn't drinking obviously, ~7 months preggy, just super tired and passed out next to me). So when i got the email the next morning saying I won the bid, I was like "crap, i didn't think i'd actually win". Of course she said "win what?".... I then had to remind her of the cool toy that she gave me the 'OK' to waste some money on

    It's all good. Lifes about having fun right? I gotta get that XK body mounted on it Sunday so me and my boy can play with it. You shoulda heard him this morning when he saw that thing on the kitchen table.... "WWHOOOOOOAAAAAA!!! MOM!!! LOOK WHATS ON THE TABLE!!!"... seriously that made the purchase worth it!

    Me and my boy did some work today on our rock crawlers.... I basically gave my commander body a "body lift" to put it on the LNC (losi night crawler). I wanted to use the standard LNC body clips so I could put the crawler body too depending on where i was.
