    I really enjoyed doing mine. Suspension seems a bit stiff until you get the motor, batteries and heavy 3D body on it if that's what you have?

    My upper control arms are a little tight so it rebounds really slow. And I want to clean up the shackles on for the leafs. Did you use the whole pack or just two leafs?

    I started with whole pack and then removed the other. Will have to check and see if I put them back or not.?

    What about the scx24? A bit as smaller but very fun, and cool bodies.

    I have a pair of these RGT Offroad 1/24 Crawlers for sale, details below. These retail $100 each, I'm asking $120 for everything below. I'm located near Denver CO.

    Here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/RGT-RC-Crawler-Scale-Truck/dp/B07YY915KL?th=1

    The pair includes one that is lightly modified, and one that is brand new stock. Both include remotes, as well as (2) stock batteries, (6) upgraded batteries, and charger. All batteries hold a charge, and the upgrade ones last for 45+ minutes each.

    Lightly modified one includes an upgraded servo, repositioned suspension, and repositioned battery/esc unit. Body is a bit banged up. This is ready to run and needs nothing.
    Stock one is brand new, however it is missing the motor, rear body mounts, and body. I will have a new motor any day now and will include it for you to install.

    Does anyone have experience with the UDR and Baja Rey (not super)? Really love the scale looks/driving and debating between these two. Obviously the UDR is bigger/more aftermarket but almost 2x the price. Just wondering if the Baja Rey is worth looking at.

    I have no experience with the Baja Rey but I do have a UDR. Love that thing.

    Neither one of them is a slash. Hucking it in a skate park is not the way

    That seems to be the consensus. I might have to make a trip over the hill to check yours out. Haven’t seen one in person yet (besides on a shelf).

    I have a Senton which is my basher and that thing is tough. Just looking for more realistic driving and I like the solid rear axle of the Losi/UDR.

    Tore it apart again to clean up some of the suspension pieces and get everything actuating without hanging up. Also started playing with the body. Going to be working on it over the winter.

    Sweet, I'm on my second one. Wide body this time. Can't seem to get ahold of him for the chassis. He's been real busy I guess. Can't wait to see it done.

    I guess his new bodies are being made with SLA. Looks a lot cleaner. Also less pieces and prep work. Damn it lol
