Too cool, :-D I've been wanting a 1/24 scale crawler ever since I saw the SSMT based trucks. Of course I was too late to get the axles for under $100 so I never did build one...this looks promising. Great find. :-o

Wow, they must have been paying attention...they planned it to fit under a 1/24 scale model for the scaler guys. Pretty cool. :-o

This new crawler looks mighty fun but I'm also digging the new mini buggy!

These will have to go on the wish list for me as are septic system is currently not working - if the fields shot, it's mound system time and no new toys for a very long time :-(

If it were up to the dog and I we'd fill the septic tank full of ice, beer and dog chews and shit and piss in the yard :-)

That sucks, had a system that seeped into the drain field when I was a kid. If I remember right it was a giant pain.
