You know the truck or the seller? Trustworthy? Rust? Just made #3 on my list.

Mike, I gotta cancel Sunday. They just changed the schedule, and I work Friday/Sat/Sun. Overall, I get more days off this month, though.
And I left my 98 Custom at home. No crazy mods; just barrel, hopper, and remote line. Didn't know so many guys here played.

Don't put your money into a creeper, start off with a axial ax-10, more after market parts are available

Mike,
This is the one I am running the Cherokee body on

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXBVMJ&P=ML

Got the AE-2 Esc, 35T brushed motor, and went 4 link.

Did away with kit tires, went with 1.9 Pitbulls (Actually made by the full size Pitbull tire company) and beadlocks

Yea, I know a few people in the hobby. I'm gonna price em through the local hobby shops first. I was sponsored by Waldorf R/C and Middle River Hobbies. I really like that Axial Wraith rock racer http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...Rock-Racer-Kit

But for me $300 is just too much for something I'm just gonna fart around with. Not like when I was racing 1/8th nitro, I dumped THOUSANDS into that and I had several sponsors

Thanks a lot, man. I don't wanna start over with a stock XJ, but I wouldn't mind the extra work for an MJ. Gotta get more practice driving stick, though...
