Mrs Claus got me some lights and they are brighter than I thought .the kid has 4 led in the front ,headlights are done but need to make mounts for the other 2 and the backs look good.

 

I need to update this ....flattie is still going strong ....no issues . broke a rear leaf and got new springs all around ....they need to break in now .....im surprised those pictures are still viewable

 

Just dusting this thread off.
Wondering what the best route for electronics is nowadays on a diy 1:10 cj5

 

Got a gas powered HPI Savage truck. Got tired of fiddling with it. Never ran very much before having to rebuild it. Clutches wore out quickly. Talk about a hole to throw money at. Had to check it with an infrared thermometer. Always hard to start. If I got another one it would be electric. When it ran well, it would do donuts for days and wheelies galore. Need to fix a better body and make it a shelf decoration. I like those metal bodies, they are cool.
Got me thinking.
