New Pimp in the house! And one of my rides. ;)

What up Pimps! I've lurked around this site for a while and finally decided to register.
I am into all scales of rc cars and have quite a few modded up zipzaps and bits.
Here is the latest one I made to match a Super Slick 1:24 crawler you can see in the bg.
It has a 180mah dual cell, narrowed lego tires, rare earth magnets and of course a new paint job. Dig it!



I'll be posting a topic about the SS when I get it finished. For now you can read the beginning of it here:

Hey all, I havent been on in a while. A couple weeks ago i started thinking about bringing my SSMT back to life with something
a little different. I had already stretched and modded it with 3 cell, steering etc.
It took a while, but I found a great body doner: A 1977 CJ-7 model kit. The wheelbase was a perfect fit. I had to dremel the
heck out of it to get it to sit low enough. I would like it lower, but right not the hood is resting on the pcb pretty much.
I also converted it to run on 2 AAA batts. Talk about convinient! The runtimes are great.
Next I am going to drop in a iwaver esc/rx and a micro servo.
I need to finish the details like the headlights, glass, mirrors etc. I am also making an alloy bumper for it. Enough reading, here
are the pics!





The last 2 show the hacking required for the body to fit. I'll be taking some more outside when I get her finished
