Just starting in rc trucks, working on an Element Trailwalker now for my main crawler. My main interest is building a military style jeep for scale work. I started to buy a Sawback years ago and never did. I saw some pictures of several on here like I have in mind building. I don't have much experience in painting but think I maybe able to get the olive drab look needed. Just wondering if the kit version needs as much work on the frame and suspension as the rc4wd trailfinder 2 does? I know the Sawback hardware will need to be changed and that's not a big deal but does the suspension need a bunch of mods just to be a trail jeep with a little crawling work thrown in? Been searching and reading as much as possible but want your guys opinion as I know you been there done that with the Sawback.
