Humvee Power

I found a great Humvee model by dragon that worked great for a body on my Charge-N-Go I didn’t like the body that was on it (the truck looked funny) so I searched for a body that fit the wheels.

If some other bit gets in your way or is faster I just attaché the cannon (last picture) and blow them off the road

I wanted to dress the front end up some I was thinking of using a metal plate of some type in the front but not sure any ideas would be cool!

Wow, thats a pretty detailed truck for a charg-n-go. And thats not a cannon. Its an antitank rocket launcher, otherwise known as a TOW missle. lol, make betty give you some of his off-road bits.

The body is not a Charg-N-Go its from Dragon. The Cannon (used that to make it simple) M966 TOW to be Exact from the 1st Armored Division Bagdad 2003.

Why do I need Betty's off road bits is this a bad chassis??

That's the most detailed HumVee bit I've seen!

Where can you find Dragon bodies??? The only retailer I can find is listed in California.

Do they have the squareback or the notchback to go along with that turtledeck?

Oh yeah, I think Evoraptor was saying you've got an anti-tank rocket launcher, go be agressive with it and take one of Betty's Dirty Bits.

Man where do you find these wheels Pimp ????

I say put a "suspension guard" on it. to give it that "Off Road" look.

Betty told me a while back, to use the aluminum slide door from a 3 1/4" diskette, cut, drill some holes a Voila!

SWG's wheels are stock for the Charge-N-Go truck. Chrome tri-wing, with paddle tires. I might have a set laying around here somewhere. Betty's look like the modified Legos.

I'm with DarkTari, it needs a front skid plate. And maybe a big ol' rock crushing winch bumper.

Do you have one man if not I think I can come up with one for ya! there is lots of room for modding these!

I was going to change the wheels out (keet the tires) but when I added the body I liked the wheels so much I kept them.

I think I am going to take ya'lls advice and do some front end work.

That body looks freakin' great.

I'd like to use my Charg-N-Go wheels from that car, but all the holes are off centered on both the cars I picked up, makes them drive like a clown cars.
