Maybe I should trade it in and pick this on up?
Would be alittle tight for taking my son with me.

That is a nice rear coil conversion! .........wonder who makes that and if it is in a kit?

The ride did seem a little stiff though.


That is a nice mini scale XJ, maybe that is what our hobby will be in a couple of years when all of us can not afford to work and fix our heeps up?

Exactly!! There is another thread on there that shows him with an actual working winch on the thing.
I really was tempted to selll the XJ and go to scale, would a little cheaper!

Cheaper, just barely.....

Fun but not nearly as much fun.....


Than again, you can build a hella fun course in your backyard.... (Ask me how I know:shhh

But I'd still rather wheel my 1:1

It realli is incredible how expensive they are..
They say.."if you cant beat them, join them", Well, all we have to do it figure out a way to shrink ourselves! Of course then the electronics would be really huge!

those are cool, but when it comes to rc cars i prefer the really fast ones that look like real cars. there is something about driving an rc car really slow over obstacles that i can crush with my foot that bores me. thats what i have a jeep for.
