change of plans, found a diecast 1/18 scale Willys Jeep at a car show/swap meet and it fits the axles perfectly, it's also more scale and most importantly it's a jeep. it has a fols down windshield and opening hood with a nice engine in it but that will have to be taken out to make room for the servo and probably the trans.

Dude, that thing is so sick! I love the fact that you utilized the plastic chassis.
