Hey blokes .

Been using the crawler flat stick lately , almost an hour a day in fact and loving it more and more .

Ive got a $149 Nikko from K Mart that ive had for a while and thought about ripping the shell off that and throwing it on the cralwer for some grouse scale look . My concern is it may " ONLY JUST NOT FIT " or in some peoples eyes " MAY JUST FIT ".

Let me know which looks better . If people like the Scale shell , ill strip the stickers off and 2 Pak it up a nice colour ( possibly the green from the alloy )

Below are the pix , the silver shell is the original , the orange is the scale Nikko

yeah , i reckon it is , just thought id ask as i have seen some in the past that look stretched as this 1 is.

I had that orange 1 on the Axial before i sold it and sat perfect but was toooooo heavy for the chassis as the body just kept rocking and wouldnt level out

if you repaint the outside of the silver one when it gets scratched it will look like the steel under the paint

The silver one looks about right in the scale.

you really dont need that much travel mate
just let flex enough so it dont rub
