I have been considering one of those M-37 or Power Wagon bodies. I wanted to OD the outside instead of the inside, so it would have that flat color instead of shiney OD green. Is the body pretty substantial? BB

The "War Wagon" needs to be OD green with white stars on the doors. That's just classic for that body style.....

The way you cut out the piece for the cooling head, and pullstart / fueltank has finger annihilation written all over it. I have a good feeling you'll be reaming that whole section out after the first few gashes.

How did you blow the diff? Ring pinion? Or the diff itself? Bearing on the diff? Just curious. My diffs seem to take a pretty hard beating.. I've only broken one pinion gear so far, and that was after many gallons of very hard bashing.

haven't taken it out yet. feels like the teeth on the ring but could be bearings. just skips/grinds.
