Just pimpin arch!!! My favorite feature in that car is the MR-02 chassis...I noticed you called it an "MR-015", why and what is that?

Damn Arch you lowered that mother like she wanted it. Those X5's are just so damn hot.
Now I took an extra day to make sure I wanted to post this but hell I will. The only problem I see with the chopped back cab is the edges look like they were chopped and not sanded down nice and round to match the natural curves of the body. Are you feeling what I am trying to get accross? Don't get me wrong, it's a slammin ride, but I have seen your other rides. Unless you did this on purpose for some reason that I can't fathom, I know you could make that truck an all around off road hottie.

it's rough around the edges "in all manner of the term" becasue it's my beater x5. as you can tell, it's been through ALOT. i'll post a picture of the other side.... my chopped land cruiser project is done to look much cleaner
it's an mr-015 because it is either an mr-02 chassis with mr-01 electronics OR an mr-02 chassis with mr-01 rear end. i've seen it used for both mix match builds.

just finished running a set of cells thru it on the track and WOW not one rollover it's not as quick off the draw due to the larger wheels/tires i guess but it's a great track racing overland
