Looks good! You ought to check out www.rccrawler.com that's the best place for rc crawling info. A few tips for you if your going to go outside and crawl on the rocks with it. Move your battery down low as possible. You could even strap it to the upper links. Lengthen your wheelbase by getting longer links. Get some new tires  The stockers dont have much traction Get some 9 or 10t pinions and adjustable motor mounts. This will gear your truck down and give you more torque and better control. ALso, try some Integy Lathe motors or Kyosho Magnetic Mayhems. Here's my clod http://www.toyotaoffroad.net/afertig/88/images/avalanche2.jpgI'm currently working on putting together my new tube frame and hybrid emaxx axles my buddy put together for me ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rccrawlermedia.com/rcc-albums/album13/MVC_001F.jpg)

I wish somebody made a lexan body for these things that is proportional, so it didn't look like a monster truck.
If Mad Max had a 4runner...

Wow man that thing is sweet. How did you build the cage???On mine I welded it, and it didn't come out the best. I used my 220v welder <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />. At first I was just messing around the next one I build will be better. I've got some t-maxx sus parts that I might build one out of too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, this definately looks like a future hobby, when the gas is expensive and the streets are busy, i'll just wheel in my backyard. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Think i'd have to make my own body though....i'm thinking 84 toyota style <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
