Great looking rig! I'm starting to feel nostalgia for these Axial Jeeps of any gen and type...
Who makes the VFD skid for this chassis? It would be very interesting to compare the weight of the two trans. The VFD COG is definitely going to be lower though simply because of the motor location.

Thanks. It’s a fun place for sure.sweet pictures, sweet looking rig that. Looks like it was a great place for a day out
Thanks. I’m glad I kept this one. It’s more enjoyable to drive than my JLU.
Thanks Tom!
Thanks! Harley has a 3D print adapter that uses the stock Axial skid for the VFD. I may though try to shoehorn the VP skid in there if the link mounts line up.
I’ll weigh both and report back when the swap does happen.
I just stumbled upon this thread, and it did not disappoint. Great write up great pictures and awesome rig.
Thanks man, appreciate!
Love this thread and build, I cannot believe I had missed it. Thanks @VoltSCX for bringing it up. Rig looks amazing, 10/10! I am still working on mine.
I was considering tinting the windows, as well, but - don't laugh! - do the stickers go on the INSIDE or OUTSIDE? I see you! You are laughing. Me noob
Also love that you have highlighted the grooves in the doors etc. - did you use vinyl or a simple marker? I wanted to do the same and have both at hand but the vinyl approach is going to be way more time consuming than a 0.2 mm marker.

Lol, it's been a while but I've definetely asked myself that question in the past as well. They go on the outside.I was considering tinting the windows, as well, but - don't laugh! - do the stickers go on the INSIDE or OUTSIDE? I see you! You are laughing. Me noob

Thank you!
It was a fun build and even more funner to drive!
I used an ultra fine point Sharpie permanent marker on the door and hood grooves. Just requires a steady hand.
Makes sense, that's how I like to do it, as well. I've seen people use tiny vinyl strips but 1) I don't have a way to cut them that precise at the moment (dull xactos
) and 2) it's a lot of work and the curves don't come up always nice, 3) it is not flat and sometimes looks a bit weird, even if it's very thin, and 4) it's harder to remove than a simple wipe of hand sanitizer and some cotton, and 5) it risks coming off if you get branches and generally nasty trail things. Which we do because we bada$$ So marker for the win! Steady hand is not that important with the grooves guiding you and with some cars not having very uniform tolerances
If you do a Tesla you need to ask a 2-yo to hold the marker
