ok loyal followers, sorry about not posting in a while, but like any homeowner, I've been working around the house, and putting in my vegetable garden for this year. So now that it's in, it's back to work on RC's and the garden railroad. Plans for the Jeep include making a pintle type hook for the back bumper and finishing out the G.I. Joe trailer. The trailer currently has the stock wheels and hard plastic tires, so the plan is to put on a set of rubber RC tires. Originally, I was looking to put the 2.2 Ripsaws leftover from my Ridgecrest on, but at 5.5 in they're a bit tall and I'd have to shave off the fenders, and I really don't want to do that. I'll look into a smaller diameter 2.2, or possibly a 1.9 set. Also not sure if I'm going to keep the trailer suspension-less (stock), or play around with making a live suspension either out of leaf springs or shocks and links.
