I got this bug body for my first 1/10 crawler but ended up sticking with the original Chevy K10 body instead. I suppose I could have technically switched between bodies but the bug body ended up just sitting on the shelf…

Until now…

I had a bit of extra “fun money” and came across an SCX10 iii JLU on marketplace. The Jeep body was a little rough and the interior was gone, but it was a runner and the price was right! So now I have a third 1/10 crawler…

Looking forward to putting some miles on it and figuring out what changes I want to make…

Much better!

I also swapped the stock Axial motor for a Holmes Hobbies 550 5 slot motor out of my spare parts bin.

Took it out for a nice trail ride today, with a little bit of climbing and crawling mixed in. Didn’t get any pictures, just had fun driving around… of course it performed well!
 
I was just out with my bug yesterday. I think everyone should have one....
What brand body is yours? I am thinking a Baja bodied CRAWLER next to my Green Bugster might be next.....
