It could still scratch through the black base.

It almost makes me wonder if Axial made it silver specifically for that "scratch" body idea.

I love the scratch body idea. Works very well when you crash a lot.

So I was bored today and while cleaning my area i came across some wheels and tires i forgot about and decided to try them out on the jk. i originally bought these for a ttc truck that's still being built they look really good but you get maybe an inch of articulation before they start rubbing. i do not remember the width of the hub im using but a wider hub and taking the fender flares and they would work great. Maybe if i can get my hands on another body ill try it out.



I just made orders to rc4wd and rpp hobby so hopefully ill have some good updates next week.

Lol true but this is going to be a runner. i already have 2 somewhat shelf queens with gobo and the disco. Also i think im selling the wheels and tires to a buddy who wants them for a 1:1 replica.

I honestly like it better with the stock tires on it.

Those other ones look just a bit too big to me.

So i took the jeep out for its maiden voyage outside with the 2.2's because i just had to see how it drove. It was ok but the tires rub waaaaaay to much and will actually bind at full steering lock. either way i had a fun time only stopping because the snow got too fluffy and i was just sinking in and the electronics are stock lol.

Pics!

Way too cool. I'm a lights kinda guy. So are you gonna put some lights on it? how bout that new light bar from vanquish/rigid? It would look great! But perhaps some simpler led buckets on a roof rack since you're on an expedition theme?
