I feel your pain, I have a LHS but they carry VERY limited crawler/scale stuff. Mostly RC planes and railroad stuf. And their prices are super high too, I just cant afford to buy from them, its a shame.

[Shanerz]

Seen the esc you still waiting on a motor I'm just curious what motor your putting with that tekin

 

[G-FORCE]

12 plus Doc.

Shanerz most likely 55 to 65 turn thats what Ive been running in my other rigs and no probs yet.

Lookin GREAT! Pretty cool to see a scratch-built body documented by someone I know8) Can't wait to see this thing done and in person!

I've been looking for a winter project and was considering one of the older jeeps like this. Yours is coming out great. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing this at the river next year.

I hear ya about the old Jeeps. I am taking the liberty of blending parts of all the years of Kaiser's into this build. Thanks Elbandito!

I think these are my all time favorite jeeps.. yours is coming along very nicely.

Told my wife that what I was getting for my midlife crisis convertible.

Looking great! Your styrene is looking amazing for being your first build with it!

Thanks your words are encouraging. With all the veteran builders it is intimidating. Lots of info on this forum. All the questions have been asked I have been guided by the search
forum. I can't imagine a better convertible!

Thanks a million your encouragement is fuel for me to build on!

Now back to building.
