XUV isnt an acronym for Extreme utility vehicle its just a retarded derivation... For it to be an acrnym the begining letters have to match...

And that jeep is 1/18? mines a rubicon and its green, i guess their different so NVM...

Yes, I loved the tires screeching and lifting up. Definitely a flyer.

Didn't come with a motor. But this one is kickawesome!

Went to the Post Office to get the TD XLs. One word to describe these tires: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

I got the Ultra Soft ones, and they are soft. Found my next pillow.

I need to tweak the wheelbase though. It seems to be 13". Trail Drs fit the Jeep well I think. Look like stock tires. Track width is perfect, already tucked in the body. Also need to make body mounts and lower the body, and get shorter shocks.

I went and adjusted the wheelbase, and made it longer. Just need to tweak the uppers a bit since my drive shat is now very close to just falling out of the other half. I think the TD XLs go perfect with this Jeep body. :nice:

Also took the interior out for now. In the pictures, that is the height that I am going for. Just need to cut the interior a bit to make it happen.

Is the body mounted yet? Or was it just sitting on the chassis? Its tilted.....its a little higher on the right side...(right if you were in the drivers seat).

I want to see this thing fly. If you put wings on it, it could take off! Imagine a 4-door jeep plane.
I thought the tires you got were the big ones in the picture....but they were the smaller ones.

It was help up by a tire and CDs. Need to mount it.


Yea, a flying 4 door. I don't like the big tires that much. Too much rubbing, and I am going for a stock look.
