Well since I moved to Texas to continue my pilot training, I had to move into an apartment with no garage, and no real way to work on the Explorer. Add the fact that I'm no where near any hills or mountains to go play in, I had to get my crawling fix some other way.
Froader's AX10 adventures inspired me to check out my local hobby shop and they had an AX10 RTC (ready to crawl) on the shelf. I wanted the kit to build myself, but this was by far cheaper since it came with all the electronics sans battery and charger. I can still upgrade a lot of the pieces and probably will here pretty soon. I already had some drive shaft carnage due to a loose set screw.
The future: new paint on this body; new body styles (perhaps modern F-150, or military HMMWV); metal axles, drive shafts, suspension links; rear steer.
What do you guys do about the antenna? Is there a way to route it under the body that allows for good reception?
Enough talking, here are some pics of it veggie crawlin:
